What does it take to make a true marine?

What does it take to make a true marine?
A true marine needs a big, fat weapon! But that’s not all – where’s your armor, soldier? Some of you had the chance to attend the Midnight Openings and met one of our marines in shiny armor directly sourced from certified terran barracks! You’ve probably realised that assembling marine armor takes quite some time, but did you know exactly what it takes to create it from start to finish?
 
From head to foot, modelling and painting these colossal suits of armor (and don’t forget those heavy guns!) was an immense project. The team behind it, the Fantastic Art workshop in France, now gives you the chance to discover the many steps behind creating this legendary outfit. You’ll realise that it takes many months to build up such an army - but what an army!

Check out behind-the-scenes photos and watch our troops' first steps on Facebook. Prepare to be amazed!

Anyways Heres a Quote:

The realistic Terran Marine costume you’re about to see is apparently one of only six in the world, weighs between 60 – 70 kilograms and costs a whopping 17,000 euros. You could get a nice car for that much money, but no car could ever be this cool.

one or two years ago blizzard was selling Tychus model limited edition 1000 pieces (or10k) don't remember to celebrate their precious sc2 game. It sold down very, very quickly like in seconds:) There was a waiting list if quits preorder. I was lucky to get one. THe figure it self its made with attention to any little detail it is a real masterpiece.

Nice job on the armors, especially the paintjob. But I have to say, they look a bit weird, too big shoulder or too thin legs. I'm not sure.

IF I should leave ONE critique btw I think they should make the hands like gloves with moveable fingers as well. And then I wonder why they've left the arms bare in the video. But that's just me being the born perfectionist. ^.^

I'm stunned by the pure awesomeness! As many, I'd love to possess one and pay for it as well but what do you guys think a serious price would be?
