As part of my project "Kosmonavt-Produkt" (as a tribute to the 40th anniversary of the Interkosmos project), I started to think about the manufacture of several different sets of headsets of Soviet cosmonaut. This project was initiated by the possibility of acquiring two dead-dead of different types of micro.

The first of the phases and the achievements of prototypes. The first phase is the determination of the materials, the development and the acquisition of the working techniques and the realization of the operating chain.

Overall the headset is composed of "mesh fabric" and leather and plastic. For leather the question is to test different type: lamb, goat and cowhide. After buying three skin and tries, all types are good. The thickness to be used varies from 0.5 mm to 1 mm.

Essays 1: making a half helmet made of goatskin, to validate the pattern and the techniques.

Balance sheet:

The first test is encouraging, so you have to make a second one by:

  • Modifying the pattern.
  • Heal the seams
  • realization of a complete helmet in lamb leather "glove."
(The central bead is ugly, but it was just to test the materials. The helmet intended to go to the trash, so do not waste time.)
