Wow these are great. I love these old halcyon kits. I've been gradually collecting them over the last couple of years so I can build them (some I had already built before but had to leave behind when relocating).
I have an old APC of mine I need to refurbish and have to build the Space Jockey, Facehugger, Chestburster, Dogburster and Queen Chestburster. I'm itching to get to it but right now do not have the time.
I wish the hardware - APC, Dropship, Powerloader, Sulaco, Narcissus and Nostromo - could be re-released with the kind of tooling seen on kits nowadays. What Bandai are doing with Star Wars is terrific. I wish the Alien franchise was given the same kind of attention.
That would be awesome, to have some of the hardware kits redone by Bandai. They make amazingly detailed kits for Star Wars. Some of which I've done and are on my model page.
I have ALL of the Halcyon Alien kits. Some are built but I never finished painting and am trying to get around to, such as the Sulaco and Queen burster. I'm cleaning up right now my Alien Queen, Queen hugger and Nostromo for studio shots. The only kit I never built is the power loader, which I would like to get to eventually. Been very heavily working on Star Wars kits at the moment.
