COLONIAL MARINES UPGRADES

cults3d

With Lanard creating some truly magnificent 3 3/4" versions of the classic Xenomorph last year, and shipping them with some.. rather lacklustre human figures, I set about creating some hardware to turn their figures into proper colonial marines. These models have all been made by me, or worked from freely available models till at leat 90% of the design is my own work, referencing not only the Aliens comics, games, and community fan art, but the Lanard toy ecosystem. This kit consists of.. A Marine Helmet, with camera and armour flaps. I suggest printing this upside down, with support from bed only. Its got a textured top, and you can smooth it to your desired effect. A Pulse Rifle, designed to work with the standard figure grip. I tend to split them in two, printing both halves straight on the bed, giving it a cleaner surface on both sides. A Shoulder Lamp. Print flat and add your own lense with either resin, or a single clear LED bulb (sized to fit, and even light up if you want). Requires gluing directly to the figures back. (align the inside edge with the toy's 'spine' Smart Gun Gear. This is a little different, as these are selected greebles, rather than a full weapon. I used them on the machine guns mounted to the bike that came in the Corp Battle pack (you can make 2!). The flat shape is designed to be bent into the front armour, and can be glued along the top two edges. This can then either be glued to a male Corps figures chest, or fit over a female figure. (no glue required). I modelled these for my own collection, but am making them available to the general public to help pay for unexpected costs. they are greebling material, rather than finished toys, so you can still have all the fun of making your alien hunters your own! (And please share the pics!) Im not a great printer or painter, so whilst I design these things to work on the most basic of printers, you may obviously get much better with some dialed in settings. Be aware that by using these items on a figure, you invalidate any claim that it is child friendly, and neither myself, nor any manufacturer of the base figure will be responsible for injury caused by improper use. Give to children at your own risk.
