Thanks for the comments 

@CommanderV
I might be having a senior moment but I don't recall seeing them before but if  the images have been on LAF then I surely must have.  Great idea!  

I see where you're going with the chest bursters.  Makes mucho sense.

Going back to it next month, sure as eggs is eggs....

Like your furniture, very inspired and creative recycling there.

[Commander Vyper]

Now where's the D'oh icon......?

For some reason I credited Akky with the spiders into face huggers technique....... when it was actually by the Commander, as seen earlier in the thread.

Muppet! 

Matt thought they looked like spiders eating worms, besides i think he's using Andy's ones over at Heresy, or probably have his slaves cast his own to exactingly specifications

@CV
I have my moments    Thanks for the link to your original thread, parts of which I do recognise and so I must have read about using the fake spiders too - subliminal inspiration!

A what now? Heresy facehuggers? Or did I just completely misunderstand?

[Commander Vyper]

No, I seem to recall that either Andy (or Kev) were doing face huggeresque beasties.

Thanks chaps 

Very simple and hope this helps:

Sealed some grey card with runny poundshop superglue.

Cut the TicTac box to desired height then added a bit of poundshop epoxy putty inside what would be the base of the locker and ran a bead of superglue around the cut edge before pushing it down onto the the grey card for a level and weighted base.

Trimmed some plasticard (actually someone's business card as I am cheapskate!) to the size of the locker frontage, then used Bostik to glue some oblongs of the same material (for locker doors) to the fascia card.

Bostiked the fascia card/locker doors to the TicTac box.

Filled the indent at the top of the locker (previously the bottom of the box) with milliput.

Filled gaps and added locker handles with a smidge of greenstuff.

Sorry but didn't take any pictures as I went along   

sorry but I dont get some of what you are saying
did you past the card inside or outside of the box?
Did you keep the lid on?

Ah, you're probably talking about the Hasslefree Head Crabs?

Now I get it!!!

Ok so the open bit you just place card over aswell?

Anyways, thanks heaps im definitley borrowing this idea.

Sorry about the massive quote

Lovely accessories...clear tabletop and extinguisher...stolen.
The 'headless' facehugger is better IMHO.

[Bako]

The extinguishers remind of the fusion containment props in Mass Effect.

[WarDepotDavid]

Such an awesome and inspirational thread. Congrats.

[Mr.J]

I'm loving the dropship idea. Another great addition to a great project.

[Malamute]

Looking forward to seeing how the dropship develops.

A good use of the chinook fuselage!

closer with the second.....

Kev is still working on some aliens for me, so a facehugger might be an option - as it stans, Hasslefree already has some "head-crabs" miniatures that will do the trick for anyone looking for a quick option - just trim off the second tail that they have.

Out of sheer curiosity, why aren't they getting a release? IP concerns? Would probably sell like hotcakes.
