We'll, I've finally posted pics of my Aliens APC. I've had this thing built since last June. (URL) built more or less to exterior scale. Anyone who is really familiar with the APC will know that the interior shown in the movie would never fit inside (...) (23 years ago, 7-Mar-02, to lugnet.space) !

(...) nothing this cool. The attention to detail is astounding. The sliding turret design with the flexible Technic rods is very clever. I'm also impressed with the selection of dark gray elements. Fantastic job! Later, Todd SILICON PSYCHE (URL) (23 years ago, 7-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

Great work, Todd! I haven't seen the movie in years now, but your rendition of the APC is very much as I remember it! I suppose the inevitable question is, are you gonna have a crack at the drop ship? Magnus (23 years ago, 7-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) I agree with Todd, I have seen many attempts at this but never so well done. Are you going to provide instructions for the APC and Loader? Excellent Job. David. (23 years ago, 7-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks Todd. I spent more time working on this model that any thing else I've ever built. (...) I was impressed with the selection of dark gray elements as well. I originally built it in light gray because I didn't think I had enough dark gray (...) (23 years ago, 7-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks Magnus. I've seriously considered making the drop ship also. Unfortunately I don't have that much LEGO or money at the moment, so that project will be on hold for a while. Todd Trotter (URL) (23 years ago, 7-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks Paul. I'll take some more pics of it to illustrate how the door works. It's about as simple as can be. It's built like a sideways C. The overhead cannon doesn't actually slide down the back. I made it to where you just pop it off the (...) (23 years ago, 8-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

Now that's some sweet goodness. You did an excellent job on that APC. I also like how you did those mini-figs. I always thought those rock raider helmets would make some good Colonial Marine helmets. I usually put a same color visor on it (well on (...) (23 years ago, 8-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks, I'm glad that you both like it. Funny, but Aliens is my wife's favorite movie also. She even wrote a paper on it in college. She discussed mainly the terraforming aspects of the movie. Todd Trotter (URL) (23 years ago, 9-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)
