Title: now this is pretty damn cool
Post by: thegayhare on February 26, 2009, 05:09:08 PM
It turns out there is an artist named Jeff de Boer who makes armor for animals...


I'm not talking about protection for police horses or bomb dogs.  I mean plate armor for mice

and Cats

he even does some historical peices like his seven samurai mice

Or how bout this futuristic set of space cat armor with rocket packs

He's got dutch blood, it explains everything, no one from the country is sane till the opposite has been proven.

That's ridiculous, why bother with armor when there's always the direct approach?

Obviously, armor isn't the choice for everyone... however for the sake of argument we should consult members of the rodent family to find out  what they think about armor plating....

I don't think those images show up quite as you think they do.

Although the whole idea of making armour for mice is just so, so, very very cool.

No Boxy, it's the RoCatEer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocketeer), silly.

Ah, yes. The RoCateer. My apologies, it's been a wee while since I saw the movie.

... about 17 years, I think.
