hey guys, i've been working on making a johnny rico/casper van dien for a long time now.. and i just can't seem to get it right.
it starts with the armor, other than sculpting it myself, i can't seem to find any toy that's 1:18th that looks like the armor used in starship troopers. the gun i've managed to mold myself, but i keep scrapping it.. since i'm such a die hard fan it HAS to be perfect and i won't settle for less.. upon request i could find some pictures that i'm modding it after, because the armor is different through each movie. thanks a lot if you guys are able to help me out. cheers. |

Iron Man Crimson Dynamo.
...unless you're doing a figure based on the movie instead of the book, in which case I make this face at you: :\ ((on a slightly more helpful note: what about the ROC figures in RIA?)) |

i specified casper van dien on purpose mate.. yes i'm doing the movie.
yes i have read the book, i have a couple .. also some other rare collectibles. anyways.. can't seem to find this RIA ... here is a website for a 1/6th version. TrooperPX: The Worlds Most Complete Starship Troopers Reference Collection. the armor minus the wound ... although that does look bitchen. Mobile Infantryman - W.I.A. the helmet. http://www.yourprops.com/norm-44d175...rs+(1997).jpeg anyways .. that's what i want my custom to be a part of, i like the look of the movie more so than the comic or the graphic art from the novel. i'm sorry, maybe i'm one of the rare fans who didn't care that they made dizzy a girl, or there wasn't any power armor .. but they added some really cool things into the movie, and the directors made a really really good postulation of what the future would be like had the Germans won the second world war.

yea, the rise of cobra body armor is good, but like i originally said, it's just not the same.. i have a feeling i'm going to have to do what i did with my comedian and just mold it out of green stuff.

The RIA might be good to sculpt on it. The other ones i can think look similar are Shockwave's vest. It's not that exact looking, but should be easier to sculpt the plates and has the straps across it. The other is Stone's vest. It looks more similar, but of course you'll have to add details.

You can probably use the legs and feet from Firefly.
They look very similar. the boots look about right.

Mainframe's head with a little mod to the helmet would make a good Lt. Rasczak.
