Post by: Inso on March 14, 2013, 08:16:21 PM: Ditto on the Marauder... I like your paint job a lot.

It's good to see the Mawes and Lesser Mawes getting an outing too :)

The Hurn is suitably dark and menacing as well :)

Title: Re: Building Better Worlds or another Alien and predator project.
Post by: Anpu on March 15, 2013, 09:32:37 AM: They seem to be gone from both stores, perhaps the mold needs to be remade.

Post by: Michi on March 15, 2013, 09:41:30 AM: Great AFV with a perfect choice of colour for the basic paintjob. I will try to merge as many of your ideas for the thing and AVP into an own project, gratefully appreciated though!
Title: Re: Building Better Worlds or another Alien and predator project.
Post by: Commander Vyper on March 15, 2013, 09:54:45 AM: Just to say, spoke with his nib's. Ian's busy with prep for Salute.

Mould needs redoing but not much time at present to do it.

@Anpu: what yellow did you use? Have sone hab units to paint and the colour is perfect.

Primed in grey, a base coat of Jokaero orange layer with averland sunset and highlight with yriel yellow. Liberal wash with Seraphim sepia diluted with water, agrax earthshade diluted with water. Then after drying dusting it with MIG industrial city dirt pigment, then stipling the same mixed with water onto the dirty areas.

Yup, this, pretty much. I do have a handful of miscast versions going cheap if anyone's desperate.

Have been thinking about the Marauder kit for a while as it awaits remoulding; will probably re-release it sans turret and have that as an optional extra version. I think there's a real shortage of nice non-military vehicles around, and I need to do something about that... 8)

Yes you do some nice near future technicals private and commercial vehicles would be awesome for so many projects

Can you put me down for another two Ian (as long as their your usual standard of miscast, that some people would sell as grade one ;) ) paypal me and I'll grab them at salute? ;).

Oooh, not for a long time :o eBay store has around 270 products, Fenris webshop has double that number of goodies. The eBay shop's gradually reducing in size and all new releases have been webshop only for the last year or so.

Will do, do you want them with/without turrets?

Title: Re: Building Better Worlds or the Alien vs. predator project. Now with Aliens
Post by: Anpu on March 15, 2013, 06:31:06 PM: And some Aliens, not all but almost. I have a few more Horrorclix ones and around 10-15 of the old leading edge ones as well.
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u150/Horakte/DSC01011_zps0cda83f7.jpg)

Next up the APC (Hopefully)

Really getting into those cleat bases I have to say. I'm a big resin base fan so it's quite different for me to like them so much.

Not quite all but almost, not all of us had the opportunity to hoard them either. I have 27 horrorclix ones and a queen. Plus the leading edge ones.
I am aiming for a skirmish type game not the 300+horde of Steders or Akula. ;)
Motion tracker blips will help to fill out the rest since my budget does not allow paying 40-90 $ for 7 of them. ;)

Would have to agree with you on that, a skirmish game would be much more achievable and more fun. I've got 3 sets of the Leading Edge miniatures, I've also got some Chapter House Studio Alien type heads and a load of Genestealer bodies. Nice work Anpu.
Title: Re: Building Better Worlds or the Alien vs. predator project. Update 15/3
Post by: Commander Vyper on March 15, 2013, 08:39:42 PM: Yeah I know only messing. Motion tracker blips worked well in space hulk and LOS will help with numbers too.

Can't believe the prices of those aliens these days. cheapest price I paid was £3 a box at one of those bankrupt stock shops, most £30 for a box. Seeing the prices now, bloody ridiculous.

I've around 90 plus queen and I will get my project back on the round soon so im not just another hoarder like certain other people. ::)

Yes it works, it was part of the packaging of a computer mouse I bought ages ago. When hooked up to the battery pack it gives of a steady blinking light.
I have wanted to do things with led lights for ages as well. With this project I think I must get out the soldering iron for the first time since school. I have one more ready batterypack with a string of lights that will be use for the main building.

edit:spelling
Title: Re: Building Better Worlds or the Alien vs. predator project. Update 25/3
Post by: pocoloco on March 26, 2013, 08:06:05 AM: Wonderful stuff! Using lights has been on to-do-list for me as well for sometime but never really got to it. Ebay is full of different led kits etc, I have ordered few and bought from electrical gadget stores few kits that would need soldering, eg. a circle of yellow blinking leds for a landing pad. Maybe one day... :?

Will keenly follow your progress with this.

@Ranger: It won't be Hadley's hope I think but some similar colony subjected to foul play by Weyland-Yutani...

Here are WIP pics of the operations center.

Post by: Anpu on April 02, 2013, 09:14:17 PM: The black frame objects are packing material from IKEA from their pictureframe department that I got for free.
There are several kinds. The one used for the ops I just glued card in the gaps and glued four of them together into a building shape. The one on the left in the picture ( also used in the vehicle bay) is a larger one where I cut out the small middle section to get a industrial crossbeam look.

Nice work. you do like to work on the grand scale, don´t you?
Is there any chance of a larger pics of the office tables and perhaps a small briefing on how you did them?
Thanks!
Will try to get a larger pic taken.
They are made from Foamwerks L-clips for holding together foamboard while gluing. I just glued strips of cardboard for the tabletop an on the ones with glass plastic blister material from diverse sources. If you want some L-clips I could post you a blister (8 pieces) at postage cost as I have quite a few lying around

It is a 1/48 scale model I bought from frontier models, a very poor kit for the price. This one is much better according to Dwartist http://www.starshipmodeler.biz/shop/index.cfm/product/2603/aliens-apc-28mm-scale.cfm (http://www.starshipmodeler.biz/shop/index.cfm/product/2603/aliens-apc-28mm-scale.cfm) costs a bit more but looks great. That or go with Khurasan miniatures just released Caiman. I will be getting a Polecat or two for the project.

Ops is almost finished.
I have not really come to the rules yet, I am thinking perhaps sharing the homebrew rules I am working on for my the Thing project in a simplified version.
Here are a few pics from the project. I have finished the interior except for minor detailing and detail painting.

Thanks! Sorry for the slow progress, I have been on vacation and also working on my fallout project for Gubbspel Galore IV in Gothenburg in august. ;)
The papercraft is not all that complicated, just a bit fiddly and time consuming, I think the dropship took 4-7 evenings to build after I put our daughter to bed. I missed to do the edging (graying the edges with a gray pen) while building the dropship so there are a few white edges showing. Heavy grade paper/cardstock of around 200-300 gsm is needed for best result. Heavier paper makes the building easier.

The med beds are from Grekwood miniature, the cryopods are from antenociti's and the facehuggersr are scratchbuilt.
Two variants of making the facehuggers, one is glueing two hands from a plastic figure, zombie or ghoul works best than grenstuffing the rest of the body and tail or if on hand use a skaven tail for the tail. the other variant is made with a small armature of thin wire for the creature then cover with greenstuff. I cannot seem to find the original thread for the tutorial, I think it was on frothers. I have it printed somewhere here at home though.

The eggs are the ones from the horrorclix queen, I made a mold and cast some extras from plaster.

What is that area between the two back rooms as I couldn't tell from the pics if it was accessible? Also what have to planned for the area where the two doors lead into mid-air? Curious.
Title: Re: Building Better Worlds or just another Aliens project. Ops. update 9/11
Post by: Anpu on November 09, 2013, 10:59:24 PM: That shows the advantage of the forum as we draw inspiration from each other.
The area between the back room has a small airduct hatch by the floor. Inside the tiny space the far wall also has a hatch. I was thinking about using it as an exit for the humans or entry point for the Aliens.
The two doors that leads into mid air is supposed to either to an outside platform or just leading into the next module of a larger building.

The bright green part will be divided into a medlab and some conference space or similar, with a corridor dividing them.
Underneath there will be a small garage for vehicles and some smaller rooms.

Not a paintjob I am afraid, just printed textures glued to the structure.

The window frames are from the front part of a filter from my cats' drinking fountain, I slowly get new ones at a pace of about one/month.

Yes I completely forgot to do the edging before I glued the textures. If I do it now the ink will bleed into the textures ruining them I am afraid. Perhaps I can fix it with som regular grey paint, but most likely not as neat as if done with inkpens.

I've got Em4 marines and Denizen marines so I expect the Prodos xenos to be a good bit bigger though better than the Heroclix ones hopefully. It's nice to see them though.

The Caiman is way too big. Even the 1/48 scaled APC i bought for the project is slightly to large.

Post by: Anpu on July 25, 2017, 10:34:15 PM: Not too hard to build rather nice kit I think. For me it was definately worth the money.

I will say, handsome as it is, one look at how Ferro and Spunkmeyer filled the cockpit, and no way a proper APC could be carried.

Real scale falls to game/table scale, I guess. Hardly the first time, no? :D

Post by: Anpu on July 26, 2017, 06:35:38 AM: None of the APC models I have fits but it is close for the smaller one. Still a nice model and still a hefty size and a prescence on the table, but correctly scaled no.

Doug I have that one too. I admit that the proportions are a bit off, but it still resembles the prototype well enough to recognize the iconic dropsip and it is still HUGE. The Neca APC is not too wide to fit into the loading bay, just a few millimetres too long. However this would not be noticeable when it is positioned on the extracted ramp (and you wouldn´t spoil a model by putting it inside a closed loading bay just to know it is inside, would you? ;) )

I got the hint from LAF member Sgt. Scream that there is a ride for my Marines:

The model is from Neca and goes quite well with the AvP miniatures by Prodos scale-wise. Wheels and guns can be moved on the model. The prototype´s wheels were said to be 159cm diameter. Look at the Marine who seems to be a rather tall bloke then. The overall impression suits my taste though.

I have not finished my dropship yet, therefore I can not yet show pictures with the APC on the ramp, but I will as soon as it will be built. In my opinion the price is too steep, but apart from scratchbuilding there is no real alternative if you want that model on your table.
