Props Aliens APC RC car build.

[Combust]

Hey guys,

This has been a work in progress for some time now but ive finally pushed it over the edge progress wise

This is being built to be cast in resin and fit on a TT01 RC car chassis.

Still a work in progress as there are a few more things needed before i start casting.

Cheers,
Combust

This is a neat build. Loved this vehicle seeing the Aliens movie growing up. Go forth.

Will be following this eagerly, for some reason, the idea of building a custom body kit for a remote controlled car has never occured to me...

A quick update before easter crazyness

Main door finished.

Drivers door done (needs the handle) and front turret ready for casting.

Casting!

Now this was a failure. I tried to heat up styrene stock and shape it over a jig but unfortunately it doesnt heat well. Im thinking about making a mold and adding melted ABS plastic to it. Anyway im open to ideas

Cheers,

An almost perfect throw away cast of the front turret Im happy!

In addition to this ive started on the rear detail and the turret base.

Thanks AI Blue Fox! I might yet get around to doing something from Halo Maybe the Warthog.

So quick update, ive made the design for the rear where the turret rails run down the back. Needs work but its on its way.

Very impressive! I really like all the detail that you are putting into it. As well as that RetroLancer in the background!
