The Martian Space Suit

[cckaiser2]

Working on paint and finishing of the helmet kit. I wanted to replicate some Martian soil and used what I had on hand - bondo.

I spread bondo on a silicone pad and once dry - sanded it down and saved the dust. I'm doing some acrylic washes and adding in some bondo dust. I'll post pics soon.

The color looks correct.

You need to put the main decal on before you weather it.

The details are what make your costume soooo good:cool

Thanks! Yeah - I got over zealous to try so now I have to clean it off and add the last couple of decals.

Did you ever upload those templates? I'd love to get them.

I planned on uploading the templates I'm making / using to build it from foam, I don't know how well those can be transferred into pepakura.

I also have my 3D model version I started, but I'm not the greatest modeler so I don't think it would unwrap well to pepakura. I was mostly using it to learn the angles and geometry of the chest harness.

I also figured the helmet would be the hardest part, next to the neoprene seven types of fabric basic suit. I didn't really plan on making a helmet until my girlfriend shouts "YOU CAN'T GO TO MARS WITHOUT A HELMET??!"

Has anyone sourced the suit valves? Specifically the blue, red and third one on the right front of the suit.

I have been working on these valves for a while. I am currently working on the etched brass plates

Not sure if I posted these yet. I made the oxygen connectors. For some reason I can't seem to post all the pics.

Haven't seen a new post here in awhile. Here's a sticker i made based of images from the arclight suit. Luckily someone awesome was able to help me figure out what it said. If you'd like, feel free to use it.

Where does this go?

It goes on the backpack on both the left and the right side underneath the "filters". I am making these filters soon.

What Fabric is this?

I found some fabric for the gloves - not a perfect match but thought I could make it work:

I have identified the shoe used in the EMU spacesuit. Thanks to Prop Store of london, It has been determined as the Under Armour 4D Foam SpeedForm running shoes. It is, however, barely too bulky to have been used in the surface suit. If you actually want to get the exact ones, make sure they have the hex pattern as seen below.

Does anybody have any idea on how to make the compounded curves on the face shield?

"Does anybody have any idea on how to make the compounded curves on the face shield?"

Hmm, was wondering about the same thing.

Just made some custom water slide decals.
