What are you after figwise? If you've got x-team perhaps we can arrainge
cross-institutional studies...

Ahhh. Starship Troopers, B-grade sci-fi on an A-grade budget. As always,
never as good as the book (and the book wasn't a prize winner either).

A better picture (oh hang on, checking it out it's merely another picture)

Presumably taken at the same point in the action, different angle.
I'll make sure there are some better pictures after the next get-together.

P.S. Capt. Quirk wanted me to tell you how annoyed he was to find that the
Fleet requisition officer sent to fetch a <set:7106> for an engine cowling
(mounted horizontally thanks DaveL) came back instead with a small villa
<set:3052>. The Recq officer complains that there are no more 7106s in the
sector and $20 for a 3052 was just too good (where do these sets come from???)
P.P.S. Work on the 01-Sword of Alexander progresses well dispite not being
at a registered shipyard and several design changes, look out for it on the 25th
