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!

A little project ive been working on for a few months now :-)

Ive basicly re done my original Halycon Powerloader model that I built when I was younger, over the years its got broken and generally beat up a bit :-(

So my aim was to rebuild it back to its former glory and add all the bits I never had the skills to do as a kid :-(

The new mods include

Chest and feet saftey harness sections,
New hydraulic hosepipe on the legs and around the ankle area,
New control handle on one of the arms,
New roll cage metal mesh section,
An update to the paint job including better looking scratches and dirt,
And a compleatly scratch built base and cargo containers.

I really enjoyed the project and hope it meets with you guys approval :-)

Cheers

Coop

This looks absolutely fantastic Cooper! I think you did an awesome job.

If there was one thing I would add it would be this iconic bad boy:

They'd be too big to fit in your dio, but here are a few other bits that might be fun to scratch build:

That is all around a great display! You made the base interesting without drawing attention away from the PL.
