![]() Hey, the man wants a cheetah, which is the fastest land mammal in the whole entire world. Without being instructed, Therri rolled onto the steel-mesh platform, then sat up, legs extended forward, hands gripping the uprights in front of her. Austin grabbed the sled's upright framework and held it tight. The dogs noticed their approach and perked their ears up. A few more steps and they were at the sled. A new bow tie? You must have an endless supply of cravats. You look lovely, Gamay, and you are handsome as usual, Paul. Orlov broke into a beaming smile when he saw the Trouts' approach.Ah, my American guests. Brogan looked as if he'd just consumed a bottle of Tabasco sauce. ![]() If Oates and the others sat stunned before, they were absolutely petrified now. ![]() I called on my orisha, Oxalá, in the old Portuguese Candomble tongue. Then he was astride his dragon and Monarth leaped skyward and was gone between before the upper sail of his wings cleared the rooftree on the Weyr building.Īt some point in this vain attempt to save myself from the vampiric blood, I called on God, the angels, anyone who might help me. Oh, and the clear face shields came in and looked great! To help hide the fact they were just plastic and to give the helmets a bit of flash as well as make them easier for the actors to open when wearing bulky gloves, I edged all the face guards with chrome door edging.She's the Prime. I liked the thick leather and canvas gloves because not only did they look good, they were a bitch to do anything in.which made everything you were trying to do slow.and space like! I also used the silver fabric to make longer gauntlets on canvas work gloves that I'd purchased. They were switched to red later in production per the producers. In these photos the neck ring connectors are silver. Okay.to make these look more.I don't know.something, we also added worm screw pipe clamps to the neck rings. To help sell the authenticity of the look.aw hell, who am I fooling. An added and unexpected bonus: I alternated the polarity of the magnets around the helmet so if you misaligned it to the neck ring when you put it on, it would automatically "spin" and lock into the proper position. In order to make them stick together, I embedded ultra strong rare earth magnets onto both pieces so they would "click" when locked together. I then used my Dremel to remove all the screw threads between the two pieces so instead of screwing together, you could just drop the helmet into the chest pack ring and it would sit there. I actually cut out the center of the top ring, creating a massive donut that fit right around the base of the helmets. In order to create the "click and lock" system most space suits have between the helmet and the chest pack, I used Gemma type bucket lids. I also added in a ring of rubber pipe insulation to help make them comfortable to wear long term. I then used the same fabric flag stickers I'd peeled off them and put them back onto the back of the helmets for realism! Once my helmets were all spray painted, I made custom covers for them out of the fabric. It's silver-ish and has the right weight and look to it to look futuristic. I found (by accident) that the absolute BEST "space" fabric out there for my purposes was the same fabric they use to cover ironing boards in. While the pads were in progress and the suits in transit, it was time to go back to the helmets. So come along with me as I show you how to make a space suit that's good enough for an Asylum film (but will absolutely kill you if you ever actually decided to somehow try to wear it in space.) really means we have to figure out creative ways to think and work outside the box. ![]() (Go ahead, laugh all you want, but when your lonely butt is on the couch on a Saturday night watching TV alone, odds are, you're watching one of our movies!)Īnyway, our budgets for these projects are small. We make movies like Sharknado and Hansel vs Gretel and Jersey Shore Shark Attack. I'm a (sometimes) costume designer for a little film production company called The Asylum. HOWEVER, if you're interested in making a space suit for around $100 that looks like MacGuyver threw it together one night in a drunken rage, then this IS the Instructable for you! ![]() If you answered yes, then this Instructable is NOT for you. Have you ever wondered how they made those super awesome, hyper-realistic looking space suits for movies like "Gravity" and "The Martian?" Are you interested in learning how to make something so incredibly true to life that NASA could potentially call you and ask you if you stole a suit from their astronauts? Do you have an unlimited budget and a team of highly skilled artisans and craftsmen at your beck and call? ![]()
