Project Skyborn (2014)

Another entertaining short film from off the interweb.  I found it here:

I kind of love it just for finding an alternative space helmet than the old Russian Gsh-6A.

Iron Sky (2012) - Part two: The German Spacesuits

Spacesuit 3 and right from the end of the film; Spacesuit 4, my favourite, but that might be more to do with who's wearing it.

Iron Sky (2012) - Part one: The American Spacesuits

 

 

Spacesuit 1 and 2 and technically a glimpse of 3 as well although the Nazi suit doesn't really look like one.  And all of this from the first 5 minutes of the film.  I've finally ordered me a copy of this on DVD, and on the understanding that it will make me laugh.  Worth a punt for a couple of quid and I was also motivated a little by the online trailer for the sequel; Iron Sky:The Coming Race.

There are probably more than this and I'll add them as and when.

 

In regard to when are they original and when are they copies; well I would say its all about the angle of the collar zip and about counting the rings round the neck, knees and arms.  I would also watch out for the shoulder ring because when that's gone, I reckon you're looking at a inspired-by copy.  Let me know what you think.
