The movie prop was constructed for James Cameron´s ALIENS (1986) movie. Syd Mead is responsible for the design and Skotak Brothers for the construction. Interesting Thing is, that the rail-guns positions were changed and the whole model is detailed from the right side only.

In the story is the ship assigned as a transport for colonial Marines (USCM-United States Colonial Marines), which must investigate, what happened with the colony on the LV426. That´s all to the movie line. In the bigger perspective there is no proper (correct) information. Most fans disagree on the major details of the back story. Personally, the only things that I can state are facts that were mentioned in the movie. So, the U.S.S. Sulaco is a little bit over 731 meters in length, carry two of the UD-4L Drop-ships (I can tolerate 4). The hangar for the drop-ships is over 80 meters in length. By the number of EEV vehicles we can calculate hypothetical capacity to 100 people. There are 30 crew members confirmed (two drops with 15 people). In the front hull there are 5 hangars for incoming ships. Two Portal ramps operated in front of the hangar doors on each side of the ship. Other functions are unknown. How is artificial gravity works, What kind of engines the ship have?..And so on. From the outer signs we can guess something about the weapons (cannons, rail-guns, partial beams), or engine character (rounded reactor with the " cooling tower")

Would you PM that to both of us? One hand washes the other, so... what do you want for doing that?:love

Hey Mirektuner,

welcome to the RPF. I have never seen a card model this large. I had to reread the introduction a few times to make sure I saw it correctly: 175cm. Man, that is one huge paper model!

Concerning the subject matter, I've always liked the USS SULACO, even though it looks like an architectural exercise in parallel linear elements. The design does look like a real ship.

I may just have to print this one out and attempt it too.

Barry.

This year is the year of u.s.s.Sulaco completition

http://www.papirove-modely.cz/img/up...11-99569-v.jpg

7% done

Great! I think once all the files are available and I can get this assembled I will scratch some sintra parts and paint to match to give it some pop and detail..maybe scratch the gun etc..This will be the closest I get to having one so thank you again...

I'm looking at halving the size of the blue prints then, making it using styrene.

Am I being too ambitious ?

cheers.

The first fourteen days are over, and the new unusual Group 05 is ready for you. Why Group no.05? The answer is simple again. :o) This is the group that concurs to side plates (02) released last time.
