I finished making two UD valves. Here is one of them on a photo of the real thing. Its hard to get scale from these closeups, but assuming Ulli’s hands are roughly the same size as mine, I should be in the ballpark. And hey, as far as I know, nobody else making suits bothers with these details.

Buried under the U.D.C. flap on the right thigh of the A7L, there are three things of interest. On the flap itself there is a small pocket that held a radiation dosimeter. And on the thigh of the suit covered by the flap is a small medical injection port. And last but not least… U.D.V., or urine disposal valve. This diminutive blue valve was used to drain the small metal container that stored the liquid during E.V.A..
Why did I feel it was important to include this seldom seen detail? I guess just because it is there.

Sorry for the long gap between post. But I find myself working on several different projects at the same time, and not finishing anything that I can report.
I would like to ask a question of my readers (Yes, Both of you ;-} )
Would there be any interest if I could supply a reproduction Apollo Bubble helmet, professionally cast from a mold of my real helmet bubble?
The only source I know of that sells a reproduction, gets $3800.00 for one.
I was thinking of pricing somewhere around $1500 if I get enough interest. Of course I would have to sell several to cover my cost at this price.
