The Old Man on the Moon

I can't entirely be sure where this came from as a response to the Out of this World Space Builds Contest, but I imemdiately wanted to use the Helmet and Visor elements from the Construct-A-Buzz(Set 7592) in a new space suit. From there, it just started to develop into almost an Aardman style space suit, worn by someone looking suspiciously like Santa.

Maybe with the recent plans to return to the moon, Santa had to get up there and scout the terrain ahead of having to add lunar delivery to his sleigh's flight path.

It's quite pose-able, and comes in at  249 bricks total - just JUST under the limit.

Thanks for looking, and if you have a mo, please check out my IDEAS submissions.
