PROJECT ALIENS APC PART 4 ‘1/24 APC PAINTED & FINISHED’ 

Amazing work and it looks like it could drive right off the screen, "All right sweethearts, you heard the man and you know the drill. Assholes and elbows! Hudson, come here! Come *here*!"

1/24 scale for the drop ship will be HUGE! I’m very much looking forward to seeing that. 😀

Im almost sad to see it done. Its an incredible build, much respect. I cant believe you call yourself a beginner, lol. The attention to detail is incredible. I'm m truly in awe and anxious to see the dropship. "A day in the marine corps is like a day on the farm!:

Love the look of this and eagerly awaiting the Dropship. "Outstanding. Now all we need is a deck of cards". ~ Cpl D. Hicks

Originally, the color for the Pulse rifles was Humbrol 170 Brown Bess (a brownish olive drab color). They might have just carried that over to the model of the 1/12 APC. The color came out greener looking because if I remember correctly James Cameron used incense smoke on set and that might have affected the way the colors came through on film.

Really needed the option of opening the doors so could see inside, but that said still a great build

It was brown but showed green because of the green filter Cameron used for the cameras to give it that dark, grainy, dreary look to the film. All the weapon props were brown too.

Once again, you do absolutely FABULOUS work! Reach over and pat yourself on the back, you definitely deserve it. Wow, just....WOW!! I'll ask again...something Star Trek. I have a buddy who is a serious Trekky. Would love to do something cool for him. NCC-1701D would be my preference, but literally anything would be awesome.

The lighting used in the movie made everything that was 'Brown Bess' seem greener than it was. There's still debate whether the Humbrol was the standard or some other paint, but things like the Pulse Rifle are definitely more on the brown spectrum than say, olive drab. On my Pulse Rifle, I used Archive-X brown bess acrylic.

Absolutely Stunning! "Check those corners people"....

I think it's awesome! The only thing I would do differently is give the doors the ability to open. Then you could see all that great interior detail. But still, it's awesome and I'm looking forward to your next projects!

Fantastic workmanship, I'm looking forward to the drop ship! Best Wishes Johnny

The result is amazing. I would add some more weathering to break up the monotone color scheme a bit but it is really nice ❤️

Amazing work ❤ Would love to see (and happily pay for of course ) some battle damaged parts like the front panel after Ripleys rescue mission. Even more awesome if they were interchangeable. I’m useless at cad so hoping someone picks that up ;)

Absolutely amazing work! Totally love this model and the effort youve put into it. Cant wait for your future projects!!!!!

Once again, absolutely stunning. Will you be exhibiting your masterpieces when complete.

This is great! Can't wait for the drop ship. Someone needs to scale the sucker up to 1:1 :D

The APC looks great, and the Drop ship is going to be huge, considering the APC fits inside of it...

Very nicely done, couldn't have the nerves to do a project like this. I'm waiting for ages for Lego to come up finally with a decent APC collectors model....

Incredible! I was so ridiculously excited to see this completed and I wasn’t disappointed. Looking forward to the 1/16th version, and the drop ship!!

Nice ! Yes you can see the details but eye have a higher resolution then pictures. Awesome that you create the Drop Ship also ! 👍this will be interesting because of the cockpit glass and especially the lighting and flight consoles and engine. Happy when designing 😉

I was seriously getting afraid what happened with you. So happy to see the new part!

Beautiful work and great to watch, one of those models that begs to be made with a transparent panel or two just to show the wonderful interior. For the first time ever I want a 3D printer. 👏👏👏👏💯

Even though they look green in the film, most of the Marine's equipment was painted with Brown Bess, but due to lighting on set, everything looks close to Olive Drab. It's a bit of a dilemma among Aliens prop makers who have to decide on screen accuracy or prop accuracy. I recently customized the NERF Pulse Rifle and went with the Olive drab after some experimenting. Although props guns were brown bess, the olive drab just looked more accurate to my eye.

Looks awesome mate!! Can’t wait to see the drop ship!!

wonderful :-) Your attention to detail is as always, fantastic

You color choice is a realy good representation on what the apc looks in the movie! well done! For the LEDs: you did everything right and by the numbers! i just would have added more in the interior! One white behind each monitor and some under the roof to light up the interior! the driver/gunner area could have needed some red interior-lights!

BRAVO!!! I want one.

Very very cool nicely done great build.

I imagine the APC was painted in the same brown bess paint colour that the M41A pulse rifles were painted in, which appears green on camera.

This is incredible. Fantastic work, much appreciated.

Looks great. The reference shot at 4.47 shows the contrast between the interior and exterior colours nicely as the door is open. (although it shows the real non-interior rather than the set.) For those who will not be lighting, is it worth doing a floor version without the battery hole, to save the bother of plastic carding over it? They would then print the floor version they want...

Bravo! Very impressive, inspiring work.

this is awesome too. really nice work

It's perfect. Absolutely outstanding 🤩

That turned out fantastic!!!

Very well done, awesome work as you've captured all the detail inside and out. A very accurate paint scheme finishes off the whole ensemble!

Beautiful work!! Thanks for sharing.

What a brilliant model 😉👌

Looks fantastic mate! Job well done :)

Beautiful work on this! Your attention to detail, color choices, and skill really make this pop

Fantastic job, no blown transaxles on this thing!!

Excellent work.

Impressive! 👍😎

Such an amazing job. You're a brilliant artist and I can't wait to give this build a go. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Virgil.

Once again, another detailed build 👍🏻 Always enjoy watching your videos.

Super result!

excellent job, the only thing i think should be added is staining from the exhaust

Very nice, i like it.

awesome work

Awesome

Amazing

outstanding

I built the 1/35 scale plastic model back in the 80s and the colour for the body was olive drab. I remember this because it was the first time using that colour.

Unbelievable 👏🏻

very nice :)

1to 24 scale? I would believe it if you put some GI-Joe figures in the kit. 😂 Having interior detail, the top of the kit should open.

Beutiful work, im very impress pain tjob.

Epic 👍👍

Perhaps use an external Feature as a Switch for the Lighting? 🤔 Having to topple the Model over to fiddle around with the 9V looks like a R.F.P.I.T.A. 🤨 On my Tamiya RC King Tiger I've been using the Fire Extinguisher on the rear Engine Deck for that purpose with the Lever of the Switch for arming the Controller situated inside the Model going through the Deck and into the FE. Sliding it to one side will turn on the Model and sliding it to the other will turn it off. With it being a Display Model, it would also not hurt to have a Battery Bypass function for wiring it to a permanent electrical Source like say an USB Brick which was something I did for my 1/4 scale T-800 Endoskeleton hooking it up to a USB Port of the nearby PC.

You should be proud of yourself, the turnaround shots on the white background look absolutely like they're CGI and not a model. This is a level of quality thats really hard to reach. She's beautiful, amazing job Sir.

Recently discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. Your voice also make for a very pleasant narration (the youngsters would call it ASMR). Loved this series, the result is really impressive. That being said, I have a couple of notes: 1) Not a fan of the flat bottom. I realize you are not meant to look at it, but it would be nice to have some details, like tubes and cables. I imagine there is no much source material to work with, but it wouldn't matter much. 2) It's really a pity you worked so hard on the interior and then it is basically impossible to see it without dismantling the model. I realize it's not easy to design a realistic exterior and at the same time have a clear look on the inside. Maybe a removable roof? I was even thinking that some of the external sections could be made transparent, but that's probably too complicated, it would defeat the purpose to have a realistic model, and probably would have looked awful in the end. Still I wonder if there is some compromise to be found. I hope this comment didn't sound too critical, just a couple of thoughts I had while I was watching. Overall I enjoyed the videos a lot and I think the result is amazing. Looking forward for the radio controlled version!

meeen... holy apc....

Actually all the green parts from the movie were painted in that brown. You can also see it on the original marine armour props. The reason was the stark blue lights they used on set, that blue made the brown look green in the final movie.

Miniatures and weapons were painted brown bess for the movie! the appeared olive green in the movie due to a blueish filter applied afterwards! its up to the indiviual maker on what he thinks is movie accurate! both versions are correct from a certain point of view!

Great looking model. Only APC model that looks right. The brown on the studio model must be for the stage. If you look at the Enterprise, X-Wing & Buck Rogers Thunder Fighter, none of the studio models are the white they appear on the screen. TIE Fighter studio models are litterally blue, but films neutral grey. The paint is for lights and camera, not for the eye.

Great stuff. Did you consider Tamiya khaki drab (close to the dark helo drab colour of Apaches etc)

Really cool 😎 nicely done :-) Also looking forward to the 1/16th RC build ! And you going to build the dropship as well ! :-) Not sure how much room you will have inside the 1/16th version, but would it fit a Raspberry Pi pico with camera ?

Very good video thank you. As to the colour of the filming miniature. Cameron tends to give an icy blue colour to his films so this would have changed the colour of the miniature when filmed. You must also remember that the film is now heading to 40 years so the paint on the miniature would have changed. I doubt it has been cleaned or stored correctly so smoke dirt oil and grease would have changed it. Also even worse someone may have tried to restore it and did it badly ( a common occurrence unfortunately) Poor cleaning and a poor understanding of the actual colour used - as they used the colour they saw on the miniature in its current state, not actually as it was painted.

Drop your linen and start your grinning...

All you need to do is print or find 1/16 scale figures and you have an almost film ready prop.

Hi just wondering are you going to be making any more and if so could I buy a kit please as I would love to make one of these

I really want this in 1:12 scale but no idea where I would keep it 🤔

Is this going inside the drop ship?

No pic of the finished inside??

If we buy the files what do we do about the photo etch

Schade, vom interior sieht man später nicht viel.

How much would all this cost?

"Scope for super-detailing" - Are you @£=%&+% kidding me? What am I supposed to add, a cup holder?!! 😊😊😊 I don't think anyone would be able to add detail to your amazing design, save for additional lighting (you didn't fancy that light sheet behind the monitor screens?). On the subject of lighting, you didn't show any finished interior pictures?

2nd post: Does anyone want to buy my Halcyon APC and Dropship kits, before this bugger makes them worthless? 😊😊😊
