Aliens floor tile ???

[Gary Weaver II]

Yeah, my display racks were loosely based on the old ICON's racks from back in the day. Honestly, I don't even remember how those all went together, but I'm pretty sure something similar could be done for these. The only problem is that my old PR Racks were made form steel and they were VERY heavy. For the pallet, you are looking at something at least twice as large and lord only knows how much deeper. It would weigh a ton. Aluminum may be another option, but I'm not sure about final durability. No matter what it would all need to be fabricated and welded. That's going to cost big $$$$.

Good lord... How many versions of these things are there? I'm trying to rough out some build concepts and it really looks like no two are alike

Nope, sorry, not for sale

Though I've just been up and measured it. Mine works out at 1190 x 980mm.

Peter Lamont did say that a lot of them were scrap from the factory. Mis-molds, bad batches and such like, which might account for some of the variations?

Thanks for measuring it That could explain it, would also mean they probably got them much cheaper

Nice one Willie, what's that from? Outland?

They sure have used that pallet a lot

It's been reported that they are building a Millennium Falcon set for the new Star Wars movie, does this mean they will re-use this floor tile? Hmm...:confused

Hey Prop Panel; you are one lucky guy! and the reference shots you have built up from the films etc. are awesome!

I will be coming back to this prop and plan to re-create a few of the environments it was used in from the various movies, so great to see your collection

Many thanks,

Wiz.

Keep forgetting to post these.

Successfully prints out in 6th and 8th scale.
Complete unit in 6th scale takes almost 20 hours to print.

I have an injection molder in china that owes me a favor, might do a partial unit in 6th scale with a positionable insert for action figures.

Nice Matt - hell yeah!

Love these, great work!

 

[The Terminator]

Very nice work indeed!

If you're open for suggestions then I think you should remove some details like these:

Since those aren't in the image above, nor in most of the ones seen in Aliens

and I would very much be interested in a 6th scale version I have Alclad paint I would love to paint it with.

I've counted 4 different versions.

My version is based on this one:


The sixth scale will have some bottom details missing for tooling simplicity.

Nice work! Looking forward to seeing the prints!

Sorry fellas, I have been gone a while , and I hope after starting this thread , someone will figure out how this will become reality...I know some of you are art specialists and CAD artists, I talked with several of you in the past , on the most beneficial way to construct these , a year ago I talked about possibly figuring a way to get these out of hollowed aluminum, the question I have is now that, I am back , is the 3D printing going to be sturdy enough to use as a mount for an actual Pulse rifle , depending on some types of materials that can be used .....????? I would like to get a realistic aluminum build , but wondering , if anyone did attempt to go that route with raw aluminum square tubing, is it possible to get those pieces to join and overlap the other section , and is anyone willing to make those parts ???

6th scale, 20+hrs to print

8th scale

 

[gyoung2993]

Oh that is beautiful work ...wow....1/6 scale , I wonder what 4 of those would cost for 1/6 scale diaroma ??? I am so impressed by your work....congrats sir on a awesome display floor tile.....woohoo !!!

 

[ghostryder]

Matt, those look great!

 

[paujlwiz]

Awesome! (wants one!)

 

[noble]

Will be posting a thread in the JY soon.
