Amazing stuff!

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.

Looks awesome.

Good find. I thought it were pieces from a foldable crate at first.

I got the idea from this thread http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=21413.0

Thank you! Now I need to finish of the ops module. I will try to keep it modular, but it is a kind of table edge building I think.

Great thread - really looking forward to seeing the finished setup!

Thanks once again for the comments
Ops almost finished, just interior detailing to finish. Then on to painting...

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?

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

The vehicles looks fantastic, and those sets are going to be wonderful with a spot of paint. What did you use for the Colonial Marines APC?

Lovely stuff!
By the looks of it, are you planning to let them critters in through the air ducts..?

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 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.

Or it will give the marines a way out...
