I did this one a long time ago :

At first, it was a bet with a friend : a Pinky Sulaco with a sharkmouth ! ;D
Finally, it got more serious than i think :unsure:
But it's still cool, i hope ! ;)
That, Mr. Ten, is rather Yummy! With a capital Y. :thumbsup: :wub:
Almost looks alive :thumbsup:
I don't know what it is, but I like it. I like it A LOT!

Its the Colonial Marine frigate that took the Marines & Ripley to LV426 to find out why the Terraforming Colony had gone off line in the Aliens sequel.
Its a nice model BTW
Who knew? Pink suits the Sulaco! :thumbsup:
Is that the old Halcyon kit?

Never seen Aliens? *AGOG* Go and watch it now!
Great model, Mr. Ten. The Sulaco is one of those classic designs, and it looks great with teeth. :thumbsup:
That is really cool!

Thanks for your kind remarks... They make me very happeeee... :lol: ;D :lol:
Yes, it's the old Halcyon kit (1st edition)... A bit rough, but easy to build with a neat result.
As a bonus, the Narcissus from Alien :

Another Halcyon kit, and a better one. I did it a long time ago too.. :rolleyes:
The original Narcissus seemed to dull to me.
So i added a greyish/pale blue finition with some exotic decals to make it more alive...
There is a "forced" shadow effect done with the paint, but it is nearly invisible on this pic.
Nice job, the sharkmouth does not look out of place.
in 1/1 that would be one hell of a paint job
"Sulaco"... No! :-X
Her sister ship, "Pandora's Box", used by the (Really Mean) Colonial Marines Special Forces Recon... Yes! :wacko:
Love it! :thumbsup:
(Pandora's Box: mythology; when the box was opened it released upon the Earth all the Woes of Man)

Or to quote another movie, Snatch.. "do you know what nemesis means?"
I just didn't reconize it with the paint. Maybe you modified it some too. Now I have to look for the movie to check it out.
Wasn't the model of the Sulaco used at the end of Alien 3....the rescue ship...??? Certainly looks very similar....
