Bob De Quatre Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) 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 Alien invader F51"Lotus" fighter Flying squid saucer B51 "Watchbird" bomber / assist aircraft The harvester All terrain DCA unit 99008 ADU command center All of these, except the ADU command center, are in the "quality and improvement" phase 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.

Masked Builder Posted July 30, 2013 The squid saucer is good looking. It all looks promising! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eurotrash Posted July 30, 2013 All of these, except the ADU command center, are in the "quality and improvement" phase 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apo Coeos Posted July 30, 2013 The flying saucer is very impressive, did you make it for real ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted July 30, 2013 Flying squid saucer "The flying squid saucer is the dreadfullest ship of the alien fleet. Capable to fly at high speed, it can capture it's enemies with it's four tentacles." LXF file Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) 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." LXF file Edited July 31, 2013 by Bob De Quatre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Alien invader "The invader is an evolution of the smallest alien pod. It's really fast with it's three repulsion engines" LXF file Edited July 31, 2013 by Bob De Quatre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) 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."

I Scream Clone Posted August 1, 2013 Wow! Really nice designs and presented beautifully too. I really like the Squid mother ship and the mobile DCA unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted August 1, 2013 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. 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 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apo Coeos Posted August 1, 2013 I love the idea of reviving a defunct collection. By the way how do you generate your false boxes ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted August 1, 2013 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." LXF file Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted August 2, 2013 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..."

eurotrash Posted August 2, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Sadly I won't brickbuilt these, I can't afford it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted October 1, 2013 While the alien ships could use a little more pink/purple and the watchbird seems slightly un-aerodynamic, they seem absolutely perfect otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted October 1, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted October 2, 2013 Just a few pieces where there's a bit too much grey, so as to break up the monochrome look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
