I watched the movie years before reading the book (which I think was strangely better in this case, as they hardly have much in common). Whatever the case, the mini is awesome and you made a fantastic job!Suberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005091019027411799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045275598713483939.post-66450017878952097762023-01-28T09:16:46.275+11:002023-01-28T09:16:46.275+11:00I have a 3D printed proxy sitting on the paint tab...I have a 3D printed proxy sitting on the paint table, sounds like I made the right choice after that construction :-)<br />Great movie which whilst very different from the book is still a great watch.<br />My challenge was getting the colour right - what did you use?<br />Cheers<br />StuStuart Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01213577814388355407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045275598713483939.post-56243876671165920152023-01-27T21:10:32.429+11:002023-01-27T21:10:32.429+11:00Great job!

I also have a part assembled brain bug in storage, so I am familiar with how tricky it is.<br /><br />I had not read Starship Troopers before I saw the movie, which I loved for its satirical approach from the first moment that I saw it. I had read Harry Harrison's "Bill the Galactic Hero" many times before I saw Starship Troopers, and it is possibly, arguably a better primer for the tone of the movie than Heinlein's book.<br /><br />Those two books to are an interesting contrast in the work of two authors who each went into the military around the same time. One bought into it and the other did not.<br /><br />Either way I love the SST movie and many of the models from the game. Its great to see this big, fat, smart bug again.cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.com
