TALOS (Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit)

My version of a TALOS is actually the E.O.T kit from OSW member woodrob which I wanted to give a totally different look from what we've all seen in the movie.

"There was a time when bringing all our operators home alive was impossible."


"That dream is now closer than imagined."


"When innovation blurs the line of invention, and safety is a side effect of protection."


"We took personal protection back to the drawing board because what worked before, is not enough."


"Build a skeleton and the rest will follow. Rely on the human body alone and you may need to pick between mission and safety."


"Combine innovation and the human body and you have an unstoppable capability. The intersection of protection and human enablement."


"A new era of soldier protection has arrived."


"The future is now. This is TALOS."

Beautiful figure and stunning photography!

Dude...epic build.

Turned out beautifully.

Whoa. Really cool. So many details, and that base is killer.

Fantastic Work on the Figure and presentation ! The Hydraulic cylinders and the hoses are Great !

Sweet! I love it! This s my kind of figure!

Very Nice!

Wow! That base especially must look awesome lit up on your shelf.

Super cool and just my thing too! Nice paint job! Love the dio, where did you get all the thin spring tubing from? Looks really good.

Thanks Shazz - this one was an on again off again project that lasted a few years so did not take much WIPs sadly and I only had 1 WIP pic. There were a lot of things I wanted changed but went through a lot of trial and error, multiple revisits and changes  


This is what the kit looks like / comes with so it was just a matter of putting them together (not my pics).

Thanks Eph & Shovelchop - the metal hoses should be available anywhere that sells Gundam although I did get a bunch of them from a nick & nack shop selling accessories for jewelry.
