I'm amazed how similar this old life-size kids' space helmet is to Major Matt Mason's miniature one.
Made by Dekker, this fabulous one was on the Australian Museum Powerhouse collection.
Did you have a space helmet?

Yes Woodsy, I had that one !
ReplyDeleteWow, Mish. Cool. Was it a good fit?
DeleteNo, it was really uncomfortable and dug into my little boy shoulders.
ReplyDeleteBut it looked great, to my nine year old self, and was the envy of many of my schoolmates.
I had the silver astronaut jacket and trousers too.
I entered a school fancy dress competition, but didn't make the podium because it was bought and not home made.
You had the full kit Mish! Fantastic!
DeleteMy parents couldn't afford one of these, so my mother made me one, by laying papier mache over a rubber baloon!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very resourceful Mum you had Looey! Did it work?
