Kallisti Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Some years back, I built a diorama with the Halcyon kit of the Dropship from Aliens, specifically I built the 'Dust off' scene from the move where the Dropship delivered the APC to the planet surface: You can see this build here: My intention since 2012 has been to build the next scene along, the initial deployment of the Marines from the APC, using the 1:35 APC kit plus some very rare AEF Design Colonial Marine figures. Finally, the Film, Fictional and Speculative GB afforded me the opportunity to finally do this so here I am posting the results. The inside is totally scratch built and lit by about 10 LEDs, with the batteries hidden in the base. Here are the photos: The Kit: The figures: The scratch built interior before the roof was put on: The build is documented in the GB thread here: 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daneel Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Outstanding! Positively bad-bottom! (Supposed to be a quote from the movie, but autocorrect corrected it... I ROFL-ed, so, I'll leave it as is ) Edited February 15, 2020 by daneel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzulscha Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Yep, I'll third the bottom kicking comment. I started one of those thing ..years ago.. and never quite got it to fit together. I always liked the idea though. I am now going to read your build thread. Maybe, just maybe.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
