APC (Part 3) for Aliens, Predators, and Marines

Here is a couple of images of the APC with the olive green paint job. I'll need to customize it, but here is a nova squad guy trying to get to it with a bunch of xenomorphs covering it.

Xenomorphs for Aliens, Predators, and Marines

Here are some xenomorphs. They are called alien homophages and can be gotten at Reviresco. They cost $7.50 and you get 5 of miniatures, a face hugger, and some eggs (3 sets with 2 to 3 eggs each). I need to touch them up (give them some shiny silver teeth), but here is a quick view. I dipped them in a black stain, so they are a little hard to make out. The details in person look a lot better.


"Look, I'm telling ya, there's somethin' movin' and it ain't us! Tracker's off scale, man. They're all around us, man. Jesus!"


"Maybe they don't show up on infrared at all."


*Nova reaper minatures used to show scale.

APC (Part 2) for Aliens, Predators, and Marines

I'm about ready to paint the APC, but I wanted to post some before pictures.

So here is the back of the APC. I installed a hatch since there wasn't one to begin with.


A couple of additional views of the turret.

APC (Part 1) for Aliens, Predators, and Marines

Working on an APC for the marines. I am going to use an army toy I got at the dollar general ($8?). I believe it is based on a LAV-300.


Here it is with the cannon removed. There is nova squad member from the reaper bones line next to it to show it's scale.


Since the wheels don't have that flat plate like on the APC in Aliens, I am gluing some plastic on them before I spray paint it.
