The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Blimey, I blink once and suddenly two months have gone. :(

Yes and no. I put most of it to one side whilst I worked on the Colony blueprint for Bugstomper; almost completed a side view (which means I have both sides, as they are pretty much mirrored).

Plus work has been a nightmare, had more layoffs so I've been busy trying to hang onto my job.

But, I will aim to get something out there related to the sulaco end of next week as another progress report. :D

Nice. Hang in there! I'd really like a print when you are done myself as do a lot of other people.

Finally got back into working on the Sulaco. Right now it's a long ways off, but after losing motivation on my artwork for a while was good to get some progress on it.

Outstanding work, SJ! Btw, I decided to wait on the Nostromo blueprints until the Sulaco's are finished. That way I can get them both shipped together. Paypal still standing by... :)

I have a question on the 770 meters length of the Sulaco. is that 731 without the censers and 770 with them?

Hello Marines;
Those that bought a Nostromo blueprint from me know that on the print, I put on there a crew manifest which listed all the Nostromo crew and their position on the ship (Captain; Executive Officer, etc....) and their I.D. numbers.

I'd like to do a similar thing on the Sulaco print. However, I'm more of a Nostromo crewmember than a Marine, and could use some help on this as I don't want to screw it up - I want to make it screen accurate.
If possible I'd like to set the list up with the rank (and I don't know how this should be abbreviated for all ranks, i.e. Corporal = Cpl.) followed by surname and inital (Hicks, D.) and their I.D. number (and I'm sorry, I don't know what the correct term for that is either...) A27/TQ4.etc etc etc......

The only info I have is what's on the movie below....any help would be appreciated.

I'll probably include a separate list underneath for the civvies (Ripley,E; Burke,C.)

Thanks!

-SJ :D

Gotten all views pretty much there, now....just messing around with areas around the cooling tower on top and the sensor arrays at the front. The sensor arrays are tricky and time consuming.
What marine logo's should be on the blueprints? The eagle logo and the Sulaco patch for sure...any others?

Also if anyone has info on the marines and their service numbers, that would help....thanks.

I think these were done by Armourer, but I'm not 100% sure.

Cheers,

SJ,

Why would the individual Marines be listed on a blueprint? They wouldn't technically even be considered crew of the Sulaco (more like cargo). I can possibly see the unit transported being listed, but the entire roster seems rather fan-boyish IMO. :wink:

Thanks,

Todd

Very nice, very nice. I've got your Nostromo Blueprints and wouldn't mind adding these to the collection as well.

I don't have that much more to do; my job is see-sawing right now, one minute I'm really busy, next minute I'm not....I'm hoping it'll be at the end of the month.

Glad to hear you're nearly finished with the Sulaco, SJ. I'm really looking forward to having both sets of blueprints. Paypal still in standby mode...
