Colonial Marines M577 APC 1/20th scale

[Ray22]

Hi I just wanted to share some pics of my Aliens M577 APC build today makes 2 weeks ago that I embarked on this journey I always loved the Bad A$$ look of the APC I remember seeing it in 1986 when I was in the Army. Its basically built using basswood and styrene its 16 inches in length and I have been playing around with lights to light it up I have never wired a model so I don't know what I'm doing hope she doesn't catch on fire Lol here's a few shots .

Re: Aliens M577 APC BUILD.

Well here are some update shots of my build I'm deciding if I will make this a kit if enough people are interested in it I will it doesn't make sense to make molds and spend the money if only 1 or 2 people want one. She will be big scale being 16.5" in length and I wouldn't do like many people do they take pre-order money and then you wait months or even a few years or may never get your kit,I don't roll like that when its done I will put it out there and let people know thinking of a 5 to 10 run so anyway that is what I'm thinking onto the pics.
