Starship Troopers MI: Bug Busting on a Budget

[Lflank]

My low-budget version of the Starship Troopers Mobile Infantry costume:

Not all that happy with the helmet, but it's the best I could do on a low budget.

The Morita rifle is an actual stunt prop from the movie. I'll get around eventually to making a low-budget version of that.


EDIT: Decided to replace the improvised helmet with one made from foamies using a pepakura template. Vid here:

Nice build! I really like your prop blasters. Do you have any tutorials, parts lists, or pics? I'd love to see some!

Very cool!

Working up a foamie helmet based on a pepakura file, that looks better than this one.

Build vid on the way.
