The APC is wonderfully constructed. Just sweet.

If I recall, I believe the movie version was wider (or at least seemed to be--more low slung, perhaps; I suspect that’s what you were commenting on in terms of the boxy-ness. Would widening the model by, say, two brick heights be out of the question? Just from a speculative standpoint--I think the APC is excellent as it is.

I also like the xenomorphs. Those marines are definitely on serious “bug hunt.” (Or, is it the other way? ;o)

Wolf,

Yes I toyed with the idea of making it a few studs wider originally, but the scale of the vehicle looked out of place with the wheel diameter... and those are the only wheels in my collection (from 1980’s technic set ;-) that would work.

Thanks for the comments.

Cheers! ~ Paul.
