Title: Halcyon Aliens Dropship - help please
Post by: dadlamassu on April 25, 2012, 11:22:28 AM
At the weekend I bought at a car boot sale a box of sci-fi kits that I thought might interest my son.  In them were some Star Wars kits and a box of bits.  The box of bits turned out to be a Halcyon Aliens Dropship that looks like it has been dropped!  All of the major bits seem to be there though I think some weapons and most of the landing gear legs are gone.  Years ago I scratch built him the APC and bought some GZG Marines - I still have those but not the aliens.  They seem to have disappeared.

My son is training for his his second tour in Afghanistan just now having just completed his EOD course.  I'd like to restore the Dropship for him.  So I've got about 8 months to get it ready!

What I need is a scan of the instructions so I can see which bits are missing and what they look like.  Or if any of you kind people have built the model in flying mode you might still have the undercarriage legs and weapons that are missing from the model.  Happy to buy or trade for the bits.

Also any suggestions for alien models that suit the GZG figures in size?

Many thanks.

That helps a lot - many thanks - should be able to make something of it from the instructions.  Those dropships go for a lot of money!

Good luck, must get round to building mine, especially as we now have the 15mm kurashan 'apc' coming on line soon.

No, my future buying for "larger figures" (1:600 mostly, some 1:300th, maybe some more 1:6K,) since 25+ mm is a fill in the gaps only mode for the rest of my life.

Not a lot of  storage room in my retirement plans.

Gracias,
