Put the complete suit on a rudimentary PVC pipes mannequin yesterday to shoot pictures (hence the "rigid" look): 
Still got to work on helmet and gloves (the fingertips and a few details are still temporary). |

Been following your progress on the RPF forum. Very well done. And I especially love you configured it for Al Bean! |

Thanks! I'd like to have the opportunity to send him a picture, but I can't find his email address anywhere (just a form on his website that I guess he doesn't check personally). |

Bean may not check the form on his website personally, but those who maintain the site does bring (appropriate) messages to his attention. |

Test fittings. A few improvements and I should be good.

That looks fantastic! I wish I could find a really good Apollo glove replica. I would love to get it autographed at Spacefest. |
