‘Aliens’ minifigs/APC/Dropship

[Jay851]

Hi all

Currently doing an APC and Dropship build from the Aliens film. I’ve managed to get some colonial marines, but I’m struggling with dropship pilots, and Burke. Can anyone suggest where to get these.

thanks

My APC. Still a wip but almost there.

Not the best. But ferro and spunkmeyer sorted

Nice work on the APC @Jay851! I love the combination of old and new grays!

[Jay851]

Thanks @Murdoch17

yes some parts just not available in the old dark grey,  some pics of the interior.

Solid work on the APC. I like all the interior details down to the weapons racks.

Poor Burke lol

Happy new year.

Made a start on Hadleys Hope south lock, level 1.

Hi

Bit more done to the south lock level 1. 
Got my hands on a Mega construx alien queen, which I may modify a bit, but it’s not bad to be fair.

And I thought the APC was already huge... 

Then you created the dropship! 

And now you're working on at least part of the colony complex? 
 

I'll keep an eye on how you're angling and texturing those corridor walls, seems an interesting technique.
Did you plan a turnwheel-based opening mechanism of the Dock door? I noticed the toothed bricks on top of the door.

Hi

Thanks. Yes steadily getting out of hand, not sure where I’m going to put it all yet lol. The main doors open independently by turning the technic connectors. I was hoping to at least link them, and possibly power them with a motor, but has been many many years since I’ve played around with technic.

Bit more work done on level 1. Also started planning out level 2, which is mainly operations and medlab. Now waiting for some orders to come in.

That's all pretty incredible, nicely done.

I have no words to say how amazing your alien world is! 

Gorgeous and faithful to the movie.
