Well, after my training cruise I'm finally back in the saddle!! Starship Troopers has always been one of my favorite books, and although some of the rhetoric may seem fascist by some, I've tried to apply some of Heinlein's ideas expressed in the novel to my own career as an officer cadet.
Anyways, the power armor still tickles the geeky side of me, and I've always wanted to make my own version of it, and so here it is. I tried to stay true to the book (or, at least as true as it could be with the little physical description Heinlein intentionally included in the novel), while exercising some of my own design choices to fill in the blanks. I decided to give the suit a functional appearance, settling on an angular shape, dotted with annoying velcro and webbed straps for the attachment of various accouterments a la the ACU. At the same time, the color scheme, insignia, etc. was based on the Korean War-era Army working uniform.

The model looks great but the templates seem to be missing all those white flaps you put glue on
Same goes for the Panzer zu Fuss and the Cylon models
