Prometheus helmet and armor....should I?

There's a pretty good shot of the boot and leg armor in "Prometheus Art of the Film"

And come to think of it there's still ANOTHER type of suit! The airlock crew wear a ribbed blue suit, kind of reminiscent of the 2001 space odyssey suit. This suit has a giant metal hook or clamp attached to the chest.

My favorite. And no pics that I could find. What shall we call it? The Deck Hand Suit?

Looks like it uses the Canadian Army winter boot, like Snowtroopers have.
 
I'm not the fastest builder but I shoot for accurate. So I will post pics as soon as I have them.
This is going to be a fun ride.
 
I too was also curious as to why they changed suits to the orange piped suits at the end... were they different in some way? Did they do anything special? It didn't appear so. I may have missing something though.
 
The costume designer claims that the blue cloth outfit we see first, is just a covering and the orange-piping suit is what's underneath. Supposedly as the film wears on, people realize they don't need to wear the entire suit because of the earth-normal atmosphere in the pyramids. Also there's a huge rush to put on spacesuits near the end of the film so they don't have time to mess with the whole thing (Vickers puts her suit on in under 30 seconds!)

I don't buy it tho, I think the orange-piping-wetsuit thing was concocted to better show off Charlize and Noomi's assets. :)

Note for example how none of the men wear the orange piping suit. :rolleyes

Also they have a whole separate upper armor for the orange piping suit which conveniently exposes more of the actors' chest.

Anybody who doubts that Ridley would want to show off the bodies of his female actors need only watch the last 10 minutes of ALIEN. :D

Plus also there's a lot of strenuous running in the end of the film, which is facilitated (conveniently) by the stretchier orange-piped suits, which have no knee or shin armor.

Another suit oddity, is that at one point Shaw (wearing the orange piped suit) is lying on the ground outdoors.. but she has no gloves on. So clearly the air pressure is reasonably near normal, and there are no corrosives... apparently the only problem with the air is the high CO2 content! :eek

And it was a beautiful theory.. but there's Fifield sportin' one of the girly orange-pipe suits. :rolleyes

Janek and David sport the orange a time or two and the wet suit look apparently wasn't a good look on the boys. What a Shame. ;)
 
Excellent project!:cool
Although Promiscuous was a crappy movie...loved the space suits and the spaceship, sets and art-design...awesome.

PS: Looking for a Nostromo Helmet to buy. Make some of those please:love
 
This is still a work in progress, as I'm adding new parts as I collect them. And I have to switch out the barrel housing...
