GF9 Aliens: Another glorious day in the Corps

These are amazing! One review I read said the Aliens were a bear to put together. Any tips, as I am planning on picking up the game at a convention next week...?

My only suggestion is to build them one at a time (or at least assemble the head and body before moving on to the next). It might be worth also keeping a note on what head you use (each body has two head options). Alternatively,  you could use all the bodies on two sprues but the heads only from one (I say head, they include part of the body so only work with the matching legs).

I found the two I have assembled almost trouble free, the only issues were some of the clean up on the spines and getting the tail to align correctly.  The tail might make storage difficult.

I second all of the above. Make sure to avoid mixing different lettered heads and bodies (mind letters on sprues, e.g. head A, body A). Remove all flash thoroughly before assembly, particularly on the rectangular "spines".

I finally painted the Assets and Hazards expansion now. These pieces look very useful for any other tabletop set-ups as well:

Great work. Love everything about this . 👍

Nice (though nice and facehuggers seems weird).
The sentry guns would work for Location 39 as well.
