This is my take on a Belter Vac suit.
Once I found out I could buy the original Chinese TK-1 helmet as used in the production on e-bay, I started making and I didn't look back.

In my imagination the suit is pretty old.
Originally my Granddad’s racing suit it's been used by him, my dad and me just about everywhere in the system; tunnelling, building, mining and flying.
It's had a lot of parts replaced and a lot of repairs. A Trigger’s broom of a suit.
There are a more studio photos and "making of" photos in my Flickr account and a parts list if you are interested at the end of this link.
