USMC Colonial Marines Aliens

[Willone242]

Hi - I wonder if there is a STL or 3D file out there for the USMC armour from Aliens. Cant find one, but still, there might be one. Im thinking of contracting a 3rd party to create one if there is none, and I will share it when its done. But I would like to reach out for either excistint 3D files, or for good reference material, drawing, Blueprints ect so the work can be done propper. Think a #d printer armour would work Pleas feeback me

Still need help for good reference material, started laking to some 3D designers, so hoping to make this happen!

Maybe there's a way to convert the pepakura files to 3D printable files, and smooth out the polygons?

I've also a repository of around 680 images of armour, weapons, props and accessories from the movie here - Aliens Movie.

Hi Callianis. You might be the person to help me. I'm making a set of USCM armour and I am unsure how the shoulder armour conects to the chect and back plates. I am at the moment going to connect it with straps to the back armour but wondered if it connects some how on top of the shoulder to stop it slipping off the shoulder. Not sure if that makes sense. Just wondered if you'd ever come across a phot of how its done? cheers Jon

Yup it does connect at the top. You could just use a loop of webbing for that.

Each of the 3 shoulder plates is pretty much daisy chained together with webbing and then a loop to go over where the front and backplate join over the shoulder. So that's how I did mine.

These are 3 shots of armour from the movie.



And here are some shots of how fans put theirs together. While the original used some kind of stud and some fans used pop rivets, I was on a time limit and didn't want to risk wrecking my foam and Worbla version so I just put velcro on the underside so that I could detach each piece from each other if need be.

I know I'm a necromancer , but as I recently got hands on a Nerf M41A, I plan on finally going for a USCM Cosplay.

USCM Full Armor incl. Helmet, Abdomen Armor and Shin Armor

Has anyone actually printed that cgtrader model? Just had a pretty bad experience with spending $90 on this: 3D Print Model Colonial Marine STL Files Armour Replica Prop - Etsy which is just videogame assets and are totally unprintable.

Millions of triangles, non-watertight, non-euclidian, holes and asymmetric parts. stay away.
