    I found instructions for a "retro" style space helmet. Originally published in "Science and Mechanics" magazine in August of 1962 (2 months before I was born), I think these plans could be used as is or modified to resemble the EVA Suits from "ALIEN" or even "Firefly" with relative ease.
    The plans can be found on-line at:
