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)

| | | | | 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)

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)

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)
