This is a Halcyon 1/35 scale armored personnel carrier from the film Aliens. In the film it's kind of a khaki green. But I figured that an off-world vehicle needed an off-world camo scheme. So I did this in pink and maroon. The star-shaped splashes are laser hits on the armored surface. I know--it's silly. But sometimes you just feel silly. I called this the Trekkie Trukk. It lives in Denmark now. Terry

I get geeked out by James Cameron's stuff, and this is a pretty cool prop. I especially like how the turret slides around on rails to reduce the profile when needed. I heard it was built off of an aircraft tow tractor like the one below. It's not much for ground clearance or wheel travel, but it served extremely well for moving the plot forward. Attachments:
