If you want to save Mark some work, there's also always the DUST tactics walkers.  :D

AT-43 UNA Tac Arms are also excellent options. Here are the ones I dipped, repainted lenses and lasers and based:





Red Blok has more retro looking suits:

Managed to finish it the other night. It's surprisingly simple to achive once you've figured out the basics.
As I mentioned if you want to try to scratch build a hard suit is far far easier than it looks. So feel free to pick my brain's . if you choose to take the plunge.

Would these work?

That was the first response in this thread after the OP's query.
And yes, they would work for sure. I may have one or ten around here somewhere.

And a hats off to Tin Shed scratch building a suit, and in a few days.
I am loving the effort as well as the end product you have been creatjng.
Kudos

Me too - somehow not noticed it before in the range but just now picked up two on E-Bay, so many thanks for posting the pics. And as Grimm says, the Red Blok suits are fairly commonplace on E-Bay, I probably have a couple of dozen now. GDonk

Yeah too bad the Defiance games debacle went the way it did. I did enjoy the concepts and background setting.  :?
