[REQUEST] Blueprints for ALIEN M4A1, P-5000 & Motion Tracker

[cdrose]

Hi everyone,

First off I love the site and find it amazing how people re-create props from movies, they all look fantastic! I also want to re-create props from the ALIEN movies but I do it in the 3D virtual world of games!

So I'm hoping you guys can help me as you all seem to have the knowledge I'm looking for to help me build the following:

• M4A1 Pulse Rifle
• Caterpillar P-5000 Powered Work Loader
• Motion Tracker

I wish to build these 3 props in 3D but am struggling to find decent reference images or blueprints to work from. I have the Aliens - Colonial Marines Technical Manual and have read about a manual created by Derrick Baena which I can't seem to get a hold of. I need 2D flat orthographic blueprint/schematic images of the 3 props so that I can model them precisely, if anyone can help me track down this information then please let me know

Also any decent reference images would be great too!

Thanks in advanced,

Chris :thumbsup

Howdy Chris! If you haven't already done so... You should check out "http://forum.alienslegacy.com/index.php?sid=d420435147a35d8e7776ed402fb19bf3". The site is brimming with info!
Best of luck with your build and stay frosty!

Thanks Tyler!

Yea I've checked out that forum it's amazing, got tonnes of decent reference images etc from there so it's come in handy so far! I'm trying to find the "Bug Stomper PDF" that's floating around that has 1:1 scale blueprints for the Pulse Rifle, so that would be great to find.

Also trying to figure out the sound effects of the motion tracker and pulse rifle, trying to re-create the sounds in Adobe Audition (aka CoolEdit) using the generate tones tool. Does anyone know the waveform details of the sounds?

Thanks

There are a bunch of 3D models of both the Powerloader and APC available online:

Power Loader - 3d model - .obj

A Google image search should help you find more...

Thanks these are great for references. Google throws up tonnes of reference but no blueprints or schematics that are ideal, I have a few low res ones but I need higher ideally.

Hi, if you put the following (mhtaylor pulse rifle) into google images you'll get some pulse rifle pics with dimensions. the pics are a little difficult to read and are in inches but I think they are pretty accurate from what I can tell.

I am in the process of building a shroud for my pulse rifle build and the template I have cut from these dimensions looks like it'll fit perfectly on my deactivated tommy gun.

There are some renders of Fox's models here:

Thanks martinr1000, I had those images already but I think these are better resolution!

which 3d package are you using to model these in?

I'm going to be using 3DS Max along with ZBrush and Photoshop

Here is a cool reference site for the Pulse Rifle (and some motion tracker):
