Title: C130IM's; Weapons Specialists, Armored Infantry figures - 28 Nov 12
Post by: C130IM on November 28, 2012, 08:01:02 AM

These are 2 of the 40 figures that I'm building for the invader Armored Infantry.

Invader Armored Infantry:

Three completed; commanding officer center with 2 weapons specialists.

Weapon Specialist. Heavy Multi-Barrel Plasma Gunner: armed with rapid fire MBP and standard issue laser rifle. Wears heaviest, thickest armor of all Armor infantry units. Has built-in hydraulics to aide with movement due to the additional weight. Blast plates attach to the wrists. Actuators allow the armor plates to move based based on direction of intense fire. They detach when in transport. Sensors on the gunner helmet provide targeting and other intel functions. Data can be relayed to other units, armor, fighters, and Earth orbiting ships.

Weapon Specialist. Anti-armor Plasma Cannon Gunner. This soldier wears the standard issued armor uniform of the other infantryman. Does not carry secondary weapon. The weapon issued sets him apart. The cannon is high powered and able to disable most human armor.

Thanks all for the continued support! Trying to work different projects at once now that I have a space to work.

Hangarbay94; appreciate the comments!

Regarding how I made these. I used the GIJoe ROC Armor suits for Ripcord/Duke. Alone I thought the armor suits were great. But, I modified them, each according their specialty, rank, and standard. I used the Helgeist headsculpt from BrokenArrowToys. Made modifications to one of the helmets to install sensors and did not use the airhose. The body I used Aves sculpt to create thicker armor on legs, waist, chest, and arms. The heavy gunner involved adding moveable parts to the wrists (blast shields), and the side/front armor skirt pieces (attached at waist and move). The back I used Aves and some other parts to create powerpack as well as holster for the rifle and handle that holds the heavy gun. Used small flex springs for the hydraulics attached above and below the knee. The eyes, used reflective HIQparts material. Easier the rigging lights for creating a platoon of these soldiers.
