I look forward to it. IT's wonderful to see so many recent interpretive pieces and 'inspired by' pieces and pieces based on solely one sketch or idea. Good luck and keep us posted.

Re: Aliens diorama WIP
Thanks guys. I'll be working on this as much as I can to get this done as soon as possible. This will be based on the scene in the movie where the Colonial Marines get out of the APC before going down to the lower level where they start getting killed and Ripley takes over the APC to get them out. I have two small Alien models that are about the same scale as the APC and some of their eggs that I'll be using as well.

Re: Aliens diorama WIP
I'm working on the upper level of this thing. Not sure what this is called but it's what the Marines walk by when they get out of the APC. I'll be making two cylinder tanks and the only thing I could find around the house that would be the right size and shape is a paper towel roll. I used a purple straw to make some pipes, a think coat hanger for other pipes and the rest is styrene. I know it doesn't look like much right now but I'm hoping it will all come together the way I want.

Neat idea! I've always been a fan of the APC and Aliens is one of my favorite movies. Looking forward to how this will come out!

Re: Aliens diorama WIP
Thank you Engelnicht. My skills are limited at his point but I’m having a lot of fun scratch building this. I’m using Super Sculpey for this part. I’m taking my time on this because I want to add as much detail as I can. After this part is done, I’ll be shooting everything with a coat of primer. I’ll also be making decals for the structure and the APC. The decals that came with the APC are too old and won’t work anymore.

Nice shots of the aliens and eggs. I need to get a better camera, i can't get small shots like that. Really nice work on this. I am so looking forward to continued work on this thread!
