Interesting that you are doing an...Hello, Brummie!<br /><br />Interesting that you are doing an Aliens project. You are probably better off with 15mm anyway on that. I think I still have a bunch of the very old & OOP Leading Edge's official licensed 25mm Aliens figure & marines somewhere in my basement. I bought them way back when they released and never got around to doing anything with them. Unfortunately, I can't bring myself to part with them, if I still have them, even though I did stuff off my Leading Edge Terminator stuff. I doubt that they show up on eBay at all. <br /><br />Anyway, I do want to point you to a very good resource for Aliens gaming: http://aliens.humlak.cz/aliens/aliens_papirove_modely_gb.htm<br /><br />This guy has a bunch of papercraft buildings & vehicles from the movie Aliens. Most of the stuff is 1/48 (25mm), but can be scaled down in print to be 1/100 (15mm). His dropships are 1/148th, which would fit in with 10mm. <br /><br />I can't say what scale the Galoob Micro Machines stuff are (they do pop up on eBay very now and then), but Konami put out a really nice set of collectables, and the APC was about 10mm. They periodically show up on eBay as well. http://www.verycoolthings.com/vct/Neo_getpage.cgi?page=itemtoy&itemID=13951<br /><br />Besides Khurasn's "not-Aliens" in 15mm, also check out GZG with has a pack http://www.flickr.com/photos/inrepose/363631163/ and QRF (they are not as nice as Khurasn's, but they got all of the marine characters from "Aliens". <br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Joesapperjoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851863340366393341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239850240632449202.post-63450727917336325682012-12-30T10:02:50.776+00:002012-12-30T10:02:50.776+00:00Sounds like a pretty cool project.
