Title: Soldier of the Future from 1959
Post by: Roebeast45 on 15 October 2012, 08:25:34 PM

Ran across this during some other research and thought it might be of interest. This outfit doesn't look designed as much as collected together. Maybe this is why it seems more post apocalyptic than science fiction.

What is with all the colored bits on the rifle and uniform....dayglow orange and bright green plastic?  At least he doesn't have a globular fish-bowl helmet and a silver uniform!  Gad!  What a mess!  :? lol ???
