Good evening fellow scale model builder. To them who followed me in the Tron Legacy tread where I planed on building the Flynn's Arcade, due to the sheer physical size of the project and limited space, I cannot atm go any further with that project, however, something I've wanted to do for a long(er) time is to build models from ALIENS, so here I am, planing - properly - a very large scale battle diorama.
Atm, the plan is to manufacture by order:
1. Caterpillar P-5000 Power Loader in 1:8 scale According to the info I have atm, this one will be 37,5 cm (14.76") tall. The source tells me that it is 3 metre in 1:1 scale and I will check this as I move further into the build.
2. Sculpt Ellen Ripley: she is 182 cm tall IRL meaning the 1:8 scale will be 22.75 cm (8.95") tall.
3. Alien Queen, the mother of all mothers: She will be roughly 406 mm (16") tall. This is based upon the Polystone version which also is 1:8 scale.
4. M577 aka APC: This one according to the specifications in the "Colonial Marines Technical Manual" is 9,22 m (922 cm) and in 1:8 scale, this is 76,83 cm long.
5. UD-4L Utility Dropship: This one is 25,18 metre long which means that in 1:8 scale, it will be a whooping 209.83 cm.
6. Bishop.
7. Sulaco Cargo bay area.
This is a massive project and will take a long time, probably several years, but not that anyone is complaining... lol. After all, being a sculptor and scale model builder is a passion and lifestyle. I will share as much as possible with you and if you have material that is useful for me, hesitate not to contribute.
As of right now, there is nothing to publish which is kinda unusual, but it is what it is. Soon enough, my work will be published.
Have a nice day.
