The Brewster Body Shield was created by Guy Otis Brewster in 1917 as a solution to protect soldiers from small arms fire in the trenches of the Great War. The armor consisted of a massive 5.5 mm thick steel plate and an impressive helmet with eye shields. Although it effectively stopped bullets – as proven during tests with a machine gun – its excessive weight limited the soldier's mobility, which prevented it from seeing widespread use on the battlefield. For collectors and history enthusiasts, this model is a rare curiosity, showcasing the lesser-known aspects of World War I militaria.

• Build difficulty: 2/5 – suitable for beginner modelers, though requires some skill in precise painting of details
