Awesome

There is a third suit option to work from. The G.I. Joe from the Life Magazine John Glenn set is also a three zipper style fabric suit and the helmet is more accurate than the other ones. (it at least has two mics).

Yes…these suits changed every flight! Thanks! Doug

If you buy Juicy Fruit Gum and separate the silver aluminum from the paper on each stick of gum, you will have perfect lightweight foil to glue and patch the spacesuit. Nyms

Do you sell the 3D files as well, by any chance?

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

I don’t sell the files, but I DO have new, lower priced hardware on the website. Many scales from full size to 1/6. All the best, Doug

Hello friend I love your videos, could you please let me know what can I use for the clear visor ? Thanks

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

Hi and thanks! I am working on a vacuum-forming for the visor…just watch for it on our website, www.fullearthworkshop.com. In the meantime, sections of polycarbonate bottles can sometimes be repurposed. Just look for spherical sections. Doug
