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!

Hi 88Reaper88 - thanks for the heads up. it looks like quite a few aren't showing.. I think the source images may be too large for this forum. I'll check it out.

Hmmm, weird. It's loading OK for me now, on Chrome and MS Edge on Windows. I'm getting some errors on my iPad though. I'll see if I can sort it.

Ah, I think I've got an idea - I host my own images if I can and I think this forum is blocking them (maybe they're too big?). I'll work to re-attach those that are missing but for now I'll concentrate on those from my last progress post.

The only images I (and most likely everyone else) can see are ones that you've uploaded as attachements here to the board. All the images you're linking to gmanx.com aren't working for some reason. If I take a sample image URL that you've posted I get this:

"Secure Connection Failed. An error occurred during a connection to gmanx.com. Peer’s Certificate has been revoked. Error code: SEC_ERROR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem."

You may be able to see them yourself as you're presumably logged in to an account at gmanx.com - that's just my guess anyway!

That sounds like a certificate issue with the webhost. And the reason we ask to have the images uploaded here directly is that it fixes issues later down the road when the file host goes titanic...

Thank you all for your observations. I'm definitely having issues with this current webhost.

I'll edit / reupload my latest with attachments instead. :)

I’ve wanted to add some paint detail to the cabin for a long time so today was the day. Here’s a before:

I’ve noticed that military vehicles have a host of labelling in the interior - so I broke out the sticky label and bic pen.

Had a couple of hours today to start wiring this thing properly. There's heat-shrink on exposed joins and Gorman's console is unpluggable if I want to work on it separately.

Thank you very much for the kind words, TS826. It always surprises me how well the interior pics turn out with me just jamming my phone in there and hoping for the best. :)

Haha - thanks metalalien, great idea! I must remember to add a sharp stick somewhere as a little easter egg, maybe tucked under Hudson's seat.

The 4 helmets I've finished got a final detailing pass. I got my stand-in Apone to model one while he builds a gear load-out.

I hope I can get the rest of the armour made and painted to a similar state. I also completed the ammo crates - all ready for Gorman's cranium.
