A painting tutor friend of mine used to recommend getting into the character/position of the subject – this is taking that a bit far but still fun to see.

He’s getting dressed as a knight and all the time there’s this trampoline in the background. Chekov’s gun, guys! Don’t make plot promises you won’t keep!

I’m surprised that the gauntlets didn’t chip the resin bust let along the paint job.

This from “U.S. Space Gear” (by L. D. Kosloski; 1994) on “hard” space suit development: “NASA Ames Research Center also produced hard space suits… in conjunction with AiResearch Division, [and] studied hard suit technology very thoroughly, even contacting the Tower of London to inquire about the finely articulated joints in medieval suits of armor.” “…[the research] had implications on the developments of the RX and AX series of hard suits.”
