I haven't gotten my hands on it yet, but it > sounds good. I am a big fan of Syd Mead. I have most of his portofolio books and disks except the very first "Sentinel". His latest work is the Japanese anime "Turn-A Gundam" which is now about to finish the 1 year series aired here. He did some of the "mobile suits" robots. The mechanics in "Aliens" have a plenty of anime sense. The Sulaco, APC, PowerLoader and even the handheld wapons are so cool and neatly used in the scenes. I really think it could have been great if the movie "Star Troopers" had a "powered suits" action just like in the novel. They can fight better than the Loader. Ken Takeuchi
