Title: Aliens Franchise - Aliens, Aliens II, Aliens III, AVP, and Aliens XXXII :)
Post by: Jeffry Fontaine on May 09, 2012, 03:37:23 AM

Not sure how many Aliens movies will be made so the "Aliens XXXII" is a joke :)

How about a 1/10th scale (12"wide x 36"long) Wheeled Armored Personnel Carrier from the Aliens Franchise (http://www.starshipmodeler.co/gallery15/tc_020912_rcapc.html)?  This monster was built by Tom Chaney and he has shared a few images of his scratch-built remote control model over at Starship Modeler.

Tom has uploaded a video of his model to YouTube that shows the model in operation

Folks:

I just stumbled upon this cool Czech site which has the USS Sulaco (http://www.sulaco.cz/home.html) in paper.

Excellent job by Mr. Rukr.

I picked up one of the APCs in 72nd scale and have been looking for something planet side to go with it.  Found a couple sites that have some possibilities.

But this one looks promising.
