Aliens -USS Sulaco 3D print

[@robc4277]

It looks great. Well done on fixing the "mistakes" aka Lessons Learnt.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks..lol.. things don't always turn out like you plan.

[@daveonbass79]

Can you leave a link as to where you got the 3d plans? I'd actually like to build this.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Done 🙂

[@daveonbass79]

@@EagleSciFiModeler thank you so much. And the ship looks great. 👍

Battle damaged and used, really nice model mate 😉👌

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks friend!

[@timkaase87]

I like it. I have a question about the 3-D printer,what size is it and where can I buy one? My goal is to make a large Sulaco that's four feet long and can hold all of my aliens figure collection

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

It build volume is 6.5" x 4.5" x 7" , I got my from Amazon.

[@petermerz2704]

Nice build. I have to get a 3D printer. There is so much out there that’s free, you just have to print it! Love the colours. Happy days and model on! 😎

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks Peter! I really enjoy my printer.

[@petermerz2704]

@@EagleSciFiModeler the boss has forbade me to buy one! 😢

Turned out great. Thanks for sharing

Thanks friend!

[@paulgertsch7105]

It turned out awesome.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thank you!

[@MrPhoenix1905]

very nice build!! Respect!!! Can you write which colors you exactl use for this model? Many Thanks

[@stevethefishdotnet]

It definitely looks better post-mistake. IIRC, the filming model didn't have any sort of aztecking. If I had a 3D printer, I'd certainly want to get this one!

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Yeah, I'm happy with the way it turned out.

[@occamsrayzor]

You certainly had some setbacks, buddy, but you battled on and got there in the end. To be honest , I couldn't see where the decals were, but the final look was very nice all the same.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

I actually only used the name plate decal. Things don't always go the way you think...lol

[@genesisbuilds1095]

Hi, This is very cool. I actually made the original 3D Studio 3D model in 1997 (there are a number of identifying features) and has since been adapted to 3d print models etc by a lot of people. Nice to see it printed!

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

You designed the 3D model used in the movies? That's awesome! I imagine that was quite a task back then.

[@genesisbuilds1095]

@@EagleSciFiModeler Hi.. no the movie model was practical effects. I made the 3d model for my website at the time which has been used a lot and converted to the one you used. I have the Nostromo 3d model on my KZbin channel if you're curious.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

I knew the original movie was a practical model, I think a brief shot of Sulaco type ship was in the the third movie. I'll check it out!

[@WardenOfTerra]

No you didn't lol

[@J.D.Vision]

What would be the best resin for a model like this?

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

I used the Anycubic brand.

[@tydra74]

any suggestion on how to orient pieces on the slicing software ??

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

I think the way this file was split up, each piece sat flat on the build plate and didn't need many if any supports.
