I'll probably add some detailing, maybe some extra satchels for storage and a harness like thing for attatching to the whatever you hook onto if you need to be tethered, and a device on the wrist for general data monitoring and communications with a screen and a set of buttons. Generally speaking I'd want to go for something generally form fitting but not skintight, like the gemini suit. Most space suits seem to have a lot of tubes going into parts on the front, what are they for? If it's what I think it is, delivering oxygen, why do they need to be on the front? I would have thought they could be more compact and just attatched at the back. I'm kind of just going with what I can find. That plastic cover from an old TV sounds hard to come by, I've never seen a TV with something resembling that, and not really the best shape for me anyway.įor what I want it to look like, I'm really not sure about details. The helmet looked a bit funny but I do like the idea of using bike helmets for the general shape, that could work. I think I'm looking for something a bit more familiar than that, though I might use one or two of those techniques. That's an interesting video but the suit does have a rather 50's B-movie feel to it (which is fair since it's made out of scrap material). I want to keep the cost of this thing as low as possible, under $100 if I can. Gloves and boots should be easy to find something that looks okay. Don't know if there's a similar thing that could be found cheaper. They're usually at least $70 with postage though. I'm not ridiculously fussed about details, I just want the general look. I've also looked for premade ones online, haven't had much luck.įor the suit I've looked up costumes, found a lot of flightsuits (I'd imagine future spacesuits would be less bulky and more like flightsuits), NASA ones and generic non-spacey ones. I'd imagine making one myself would be pretty hard, though possible if only I could somehow find a massive round vase/fishbowl or a partial sphere peice of glass or plastic. Hi, I am looking to make an astronaut costume for something, supposed to look like something that might be made in the next 50 years or so, not a NASA one (though if necessary I could remove the NASA logo or put something over it).Īnyway, I was wondering what exact sort of look I should be trying to get and also where I can get parts for it.
