Starting another Starship Troopers project. There are hero and stunt versions to the communications handset; the main difference being the display window is larger (to accommodate a working digital readout) and the bottom pushbuttons are functional (to power on the digital readout). The basic body is the same. Here is the scan of a stunt communications handset we are starting with. As with previous efforts, this will be slightly cleaned and idealized, ignoring the organic errors in the original sculpt as well as the warps in the rubber stunt casting.

First model. Still some finessing to be done, but we are well on our way.

We are trying to design this model so it could be assembled either as the stunt or the working hero with little modification. This is tougher than one might imagine. The hero buttons are KD2-21 pushbuttons. They replace the lower black buttons on the handset.
