Great looking stuff, very much tempting me to make a colonial marine squad of my own.

The only negative I can see is no Apone on the poll?
 ;)
He would have made my choice of Hudson a little harder.

Very nice looking. Oner minor point, as its my fave film character, its Vasquez, not Valesquez.

Mine too. I had a serious crush on her first time I saw the film.

Vasquez

I really love these movie-based projects, and this one is very cool. I've seen your James bond threads, but I don't recall the Hammer Horror one. Any chance for a link?

Very kind of you. Apone was brilliant.

Bishop: I'm sorry if I scared you. That platform was just becoming too unstable. I had to circle and hope that things didn't get too rough to take you off.
Ripley: Bishop, you did okay.
Bishop: I did?
Ripley: Oh, yeah.



lol

"Have you ever been mistaken for a man? "

Vasquez: "No, have you?"

I have to say that for me it was somewhere between Drake and Vasquez, and not just because they were packing the big guns. ;)

That terrain is looking pretty awesome. You should get some more shots of the structures for us.

Will try.

I actually felt sorry for Gorman. Throughout the movie he fluffs everything up even though he tries to project a competent image. I especially found it very moving at the end when he attempts to rescue Vasquez but ultimately fails in doing so. Added to that, she does not acknowledge him for his bravery.

Capone was brilliant as a father figure whose role is quickly snuffed out, thereby decapitating the group leadership.

Hudson is my personal favourite. He's a snivelling coward who shields himself with sarcasm, but deep down he's heroic and gets on with the job when pushed.

Yeah I always felt really sorry for him too. He's totally out of his depth, but at the very end shows that he is just as much of a hero as the rest.

I disagree about her not acknowledging his bravery though. The way she says "You always were an asshole, Gorman" right at their end to me always felt like it was in a very military taking the piss respectful/friendly way which showed she didn't think he was so bad after all and that he was now one of the group.

Heh, this may surprise some people. I had a crush on her too, btw, the bad-ass Marine chick!
