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!

Still trying to find plans and parts lists...

Finally got a response!

Helllo and a happy new year.
Sorry for the late update on the colony station project. I prapare on our club website a special section we can publish open projects like the Colony Station. You can click on the marked area (https://schwabenstein.org) and get more information and the files. There are not all modules at the moment - i will add them step by step.
All the best,
Alexander

You will need this free software to view the .io files which can create the instructions and parts lists.

Instructions to follow.

You can also export as a parts list, open the file in excel and go to lego's pick a brick
https://www.lego.com/en-us/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick

The unobtainable parts you will have to get from brickowl and/or bricklink.

getting most parts from lego can be cheaper....

I have ordered some pieces to start the slow process of assembling things. I may try to go live on youtube building things as at that point I should hopefully have 1gig fiber internet...

Ok had a little progress on things. This will be an expensive build out.

I will have to space out part buys one per pay check...

I have replicated the elevator module, the light module as close as I can. I just have to try and replicate the garage and wall modules from reference pictures.

Still having issues running out of parts so it is build, build, build, order, wait, wait, build, order, wait, build order.

Very frustratingly slow.

I am hoping to get things semi done by the time Frakencon hits in mid May.

And in all honesty this is the biggest build I have ever done. This is approaching the tedium of the programming and code hacking I have done on the Pred, motion tracker, and access tuner as far as time involved.

Garage module is partly replicated from photos. I have parts on the way to try and finish it out. The rolling door assembly is going to be all kinds of fun to put together...
