BTW, don't mess with that sarge.  :-,

LMKWYT!

Wow, Jeremy that armour looks very, very cool... did you get the grey
helmets from Exploriens 'figs, or is there a more recent set that contains
them?

Actually, your soldiers' appearance doesn't remind me so much of Colonial
Marines, as of the Mobile Infantry from the Starship Troopers movie... is it
OK to mention the movie around here? Fans of the book seemed to hate it, but
I enjoyed it.... ;-)
I'd also very much like to see a Warrior Bug vs M.I. scene done in Lego.
Anyone done a minifig-scale Warrior bug before? Might give it a go...

Cheers,
