Standard Power Armor Design

The P.A.I.D.U. is employed with the Intergalactic Military Alliance. These heavy armored units wear the latest in power armor technology. Smaller and lighter weight than previous suits the newest version dubbed "Widow Maker" is as dangerous as it's nickname suggests. The suit is powered with 2 cold fusion micro reactor cells that will allow the armor to properly function for up to 1000 years with continual moderate use. This particular model is the basic infantry model. Classic gray color scheme and orange glow are unmistakable. Other features include jet thrusters for short flight (up to a mile with a short recharge time of 3 minutes), a short range wave diffusion generater to weaken or dissipate laser, radio and all other wave emissions, a basic life support system to ensure the pilots health on even the most desolate planets, and a limited use energy shielding to prevent all physical attacks such as being rammed by vehicles or missle blasts. In all field tests only one unit was lost and this was only due to the missle size tested on it. The suit will not withstand direct nuclear blasts. Though a second suit in the test survived with no damage being a little over a half mile from the impact site. This is a peace keeping suit designed to prevent war or end it. Let us hope it works to that end. All other information on this suit is classified.

Let me know what you think about it.

I found this similar design on BS this morning which looks to be very close to my design. Perhaps great minds think alike or I may have inspired them to build there own version. Either way it is cool. I will have the other models in the series soon. So, if you like this one check back later this week for the stealth version.

MOC on!

I really dig this. it is a very cool idea and well implemented. have you thought about putting tiles over the studs on the legs and arms (possibly in black) to give it a sleeker look?

I will try that out though probably in dark gray for conformity.

This is still the prototype. I am still refining it to get even better figure coverage without losing mobility and a sleeker look overall. I thought I would share my progress. I have ideas for other suits that will also be coming soon.

This is the beginning my friend. Soon, our troops will overtake the world! :^D

Really nice job, I really love how you fit a fig in it, not just a head :)

[Deinonychus]

INSANE! :oD

I love the design of that. As for making it sleeker, I think it looks better with all the knobby bits and harsh angles.

It sort of makes me think of the armor from Starship Troopers (the book, not the movie) And I think I'm going to try and cobble a couple of these together for myself later on tonight...

Then set them loose on some Visorak, that should be fun

[Lost Viking]

They would be awsome for Brickwars.

I love it, its so cool and looks like it could kick some butt. Do you have anymore???

[SuvieD]

I will try to get some pictures tonight of my progress. I have a few different versions and I would like some feedback on them. Check back in tomorrow morning for those of you accross the pond.

Fantastic.

I saw this on Brickshelf and loved it.

Glad its by someone I know!

Here are the trials.

I took some pictures and then went and brightened them up including the original pictures. You can see them all here Power Armor

The pictures are somewhat divided as

-original pictures

-comparison 1 of original

-comparison 2 of heavy duty armor

-fire version

-aero version

-general comparisons

All the suits are in the above picture. Better detail is in the other pictures.

Please feel free to comment on any of them, especially which of the two style you like best.

I tried to make the original "sleeker" but the I like the first design the best still. I did make one change to the original in the 1x1 slopes in the back. I think they look sweet and I wish I had them in more colors.

The bulkier heavy duty power armor is nice but the limited range of motion isn't as great. You can decide.

The fire and aero are prototypes. I have a lot of trial and error still to go through before I decide what I want them to look like.

Finally, because I am looking to make up the rest of the money I lost if I were to sell these what would you pay for them and which would you want?
