===== Background Info =====

The //Nixe// is an evolutionary design of the //Strahl Democratic Republic// powered suit. It bridges the gap between the earlier, glass-windows Friedrich, Gustav and Leopard types, with the later designs like the Kauz and Melusine which move to remove sensors. It's basically the armoured body of the Melusine with the open viewport of the earlier models.

I like this one as it clearly bridges the gap between the early suit designs and the later ones. 

This will probably get a similar grey/blue/yellow colour scheme to the other //SDR// figures and vehicles, somewhat based on the box art and manufacturers images.
