Canadian Inventions: G-Suit (1941)

 

 

G-Suit model for Canadian Inventions display. Wilbur Franks developed the modern G-suit at the University of Toronto which helps fighter pilots combat acceleration forces during maneuvers.

 

This was a quick model for the series of inventions. I tried to use sand green pieces to give the characteristic flight suit colour. It's the first time I've ever built a Miniland scale figure. The G-force cockpit dial was put in after as many people thought the figure was a deep sea diver.
