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!

I have the dropship but it came without the canopy (clear plastic for the cockpit) and I made it with the pylons closed :(

However it did make the trip over and survived so its now part of the landing grid diorama :)

Tsukuda re-released some of the kits may be able to find them. Also on the powerloader the lengths they state are way too long for the hydraulic lines, cut them a little shorter it looks a lot better.

'bout 15 years ago I bought the 3 halcyon models.
Once finished, my mother destroyed the CHeyenne while dusting (I was thinking making a diorama of a crash) :cry:. I lost the APC on the way when moving on to my new flat. Hopefully, the Power Loader was left intact though I had to glue one leg. Ripley was lost on the way also... Sad but true :lol:
And I also posess the 1/1 facehugger but it was never finished due to lack of time!

At least you got to build yours mine got ripped off out of a storage shed with about 400 other kits :cry: everything was in boxes and more than likely ended up in the trash once the damn crackhead couldnt fence them quick.
