spacesuit questions

I've been trying to find some gallery shots, schematics, anything really, on
spacesuit designs in the internet.

I've found words and text, replicas for sale, the usual, but I'm curious in
various aspects of suit design, and would love if someone could direct me to
images or diagrams of spacesuits, even sci-fi artwork.

Of course, if there's a special newsgroup for spacesuits, or sci-fi art
galleries specific to spacesuits, I'd be most appreciative. Working on a
conjectural vessel design, and the boss (harumph!) wants EVA suits factored
in as well.

This should at least give you a lot of new keywords for additional
searches:

It'll also give you an understanding of the engineering problems of
spacesuits and how they were conquered over time.

There is an excellent description of the PGA in the Apollo Operations
Handbook. If you're having trouble finding a copy, try your federal
repository and look for the Hearings on the "Apollo 204 Accident."
The entire handbook is reproduced in there (at least enough to cover
the PGA; there are portions missing.) That should help you.

Just type a google search "space suit design"

The first couple all had some stuff relavent:
http://strangeblue.iwarp.com/
http://strangeblue.iwarp.com/spacesuits/design.html
http://www.astrobiology.com/space.suits.html
http://www.clavius.org/techsuit.html
http://www.cdr.state.tx.us/Students/...iews/ross.html

I typed in "space suit design sci-fi" and you will have to wade through the
stuff, but stuff is there - but, very piece-meal, it will take you time.
