You sure that isn't from Madame Tussaud's? Amazing what they can do with wax.

By golly, Paul, you're right! Note the support wire attached to the top of his helmet.

But seriously, what is the thin white cord plugged into one of the blue ports on the space suit? Comms?

Ed, what is the NASA number for this? I would like to download a high resolution scan.

Also, looks like a good model for an original Ed painting.

If you e-mail me I'll send you the file. I don't think it is available online.
