I'm currently working on some models inspired by the Alien Conquest theme.

What I like about the original AC is the alien heads, the "classic" alien's representation (like the flying saucer, the abduction, etc...) and I tried to keep these elements while building with my style which is so better.

The sets I've already built:

99001 Alien pod and ADU attack jetpack

9407613741_4d5d54ffcb_t.jpg Alien invader

9403384064_ee2854d313_t.jpg F51"Lotus" fighter

9400626801_63d9839437_t.jpg Flying squid saucer

9414944081_593e439c77_t.jpg B51 "Watchbird" bomber / assist aircraft

9415812659_5f6f904124_t.jpg The harvester

9410437618_fc77035af4_t.jpg All terrain DCA unit

99008 ADU command center

All of these, except the ADU command center, are in the "quality and improvement" phase :sweet:

Here is a preview of the Alien invader and the Lotus fighter, and a render of the Flying squid saucer I put on flicker a few days ago.

I know that phase. It can take some time. That Alien Invader looks interesting, and I really like the Flying squid saucer - it'd be good to see that in real bricks.

F51 "Lotus" fighter

"The F51 fighter, codename Lotus, is the first hybrid aircraft, built with both human and alien technology salvaged after the first invasion in 2011. It is very fast and agile, ideal for tracking and destroying alien ships."

All terrain mobile DCA unit

"The mobile DCA unit was created to assure the deployement of anti-aircraft defense wherever needed. When in position, it acts as a turret with it's two heavy canons. It is also capable to fire long range missiles, guided by laser marker from the infantery or F51 squadrons."

At some time you need to end that phase...

The flying saucer is very impressive, did you make it for real ?

I wish I could brickbuild them... But I used only bricks available, so it should be possible to.

Wow! Really nice designs and presented beautifully too. I really like the Squid mother ship and the mobile DCA unit.

Thanks. The presentation is quite simple, and I'm sorry I couldn't do nice render in POV-Ray :sceptic:

The squid saucer is really a rehash of the original set, with tentacles instead of the mechanical arm. Oh and I didn't mention it, but the outer ring can rotate, while the "cockpit" and the underside stay put :classic:

I love the idea of reviving a defunct collection.

By the way how do you generate your false boxes ?

Thanks. It's just some picture composition, I put the screenshot of the models before a background and add the alien conquest logo.

B51 "Watchbird" bomber / assist aircraft

"The B51 "Watchbird" is an assist aircraft, acting as a relay between the command center and F51 squadrons, and providing them with radar informations. It is also a bomber as it carries some long range guided missiles and a heavy bomb that could be used against large objectives."

The Harvester

"The harvesters are machines sent by the aliens to literally harvest humans. Reports state that the pilots of Harvesters choose the ones they'll capture, and the ones they'll kill...Nobody knows what happens to the one that get caught..."

This is a fantastic upgrade of an expired theme. I really like the underbelly observation pod on the Harvester. Do the Legs fold inwards?

You've got to build these in Bricks and I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Thanks. The legs don't move. I had troubles building them, so I ended up with these :sceptic:

Sadly I won't brickbuilt these, I can't afford it.

While the alien ships could use a little more pink/purple and the watchbird seems slightly un-aerodynamic, they seem absolutely perfect otherwise.

Thanks Draiknova.

I didn't want to use too much pink or purple... maybe I used too less :wall:

Hey i love the desing of all those mocs, and i highly suggest you should post them on rebrickable. Also when i click on the LXF file, it says i dont have permission. What do i do wrong?

Edit: i have now just noticed that this is a post from 11 years ago...

i might wait for a while till he responds

Hi,
First try not to respond to 10+ years old thread :grin:

Thanks for your feedback on these mocs. The links don"t work anymore, sorry, and I don't plan on putting them on Rebrickable as they are so old... Maybe if I rework them.

Posted

Wow, you actally responded! sorry for putting my comment here, but i really like them... A rework *could* do, but that would take a lot of time. Is there a chance you could send them to my email? or make a diffrent google drive link? 

Since im still waiting i migh as well put my email here: [removed email]

After 10 posts you can use the PM system (why don't you some of your ideas and work?).
