PROJECT ALIENS APC PART 4 ‘1/24 APC PAINTED & FINISHED’

PROJECT ALIENS APC PART 4 ‘1/24 APC PAINTED & FINISHED’
Welcome to episode 4 in my latest build series. In this episode I paint and finish the 1/24 scale APC from the film ALIENS. The lighting is completed and the model is weathered. Then once the 1/16 scale radio controlled version is complete the files will be available to purchase and download from my website.

[@blackc1479]

I've said for years that if I ever hit the lottery, that would be my dream project lol

[@SceptorSix]

Originally, the color for the Pulse rifles was Humbrol 170 Brown Bess (a brownish olive drab color). They might have just carried that over to the model of the 1/12 APC. The color came out greener looking because if I remember correctly James Cameron used incense smoke on set and that might have affected the way the colors came through on film.

[@StaplesandVine]

That's fascinating, thank you. 😎

[@the-primered-thumb]

Agreed 😉👌

[@francistiffany405]

Somewhere I read that the model was painted in Humbrol M5... because they could get it easily.

@@francistiffany405 Airfix M5 is the equivalent of Humbrol 83. So that makes sense. 🤔

Really needed the option of opening the doors so could see inside, but that said still a great build

[@warwicksworkshop9511]

The lighting used in the movie made everything that was 'Brown Bess' seem greener than it was. There's still debate whether the Humbrol was the standard or some other paint, but things like the Pulse Rifle are definitely more on the brown spectrum than say, olive drab. On my Pulse Rifle, I used Archive-X brown bess acrylic.

[@StaplesandVine]

Yes that seems to be the accepted reason. I wonder if they have that problem currently. 🤔

[@flat4-]

Very nicely done, couldn't have the nerves to do a project like this. I'm waiting for ages for Lego to come up finally with a decent APC collectors model....

Thank you. The front right corner and the window were the only damaged parts ( not including the transaxle) and could easily be sorted with a Dremel. 🤔

[@handznet]

The result is amazing. I would add some more weathering to break up the monotone color scheme a bit but it is really nice ❤️

[@StaplesandVine]

Thank you, glad you like the build. I wanted to go for a cleanish look so the weathering didn't distract from the model. Certainly in the movie it did look pretty fresh most of the time. Plenty of scope for more weathering and even alternative camo schemes though. 🤔

You color choice is a realy good representation on what the apc looks in the movie! well done! For the LEDs: you did everything right and by the numbers! i just would have added more in the interior! One white behind each monitor and some under the roof to light up the interior! the driver/gunner area could have needed some red interior-lights!

[@portland-182]

Looks great. The reference shot at 4.47 shows the contrast between the interior and exterior colours nicely as the door is open. (although it shows the real non-interior rather than the set.) For those who will not be lighting, is it worth doing a floor version without the battery hole, to save the bother of plastic carding over it? They would then print the floor version they want...

[@Duraltia]

Perhaps use an external Feature as a Switch for the Lighting? 🤔 Having to topple the Model over to fiddle around with the 9V looks like a R.F.P.I.T.A. 🤨 On my Tamiya RC King Tiger I've been using the Fire Extinguisher on the rear Engine Deck for that purpose with the Lever of the Switch for arming the Controller situated inside the Model going through the Deck and into the FE. Sliding it to one side will turn on the Model and sliding it to the other will turn it off. With it being a Display Model, it would also not hurt to have a Battery Bypass function for wiring it to a permanent electrical Source like say an USB Brick which was something I did for my 1/4 scale T-800 Endoskeleton hooking it up to a USB Port of the nearby PC.

[@StaplesandVine]

Yes, great idea, I think there are a lot of options available here. It all depends how far people want to go to display their model and their electrical ability. The larger the model the easier the wiring and lighting becomes. 🙂

[@blackest3314]

Recently discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. Your voice also make for a very pleasant narration (the youngsters would call it ASMR). Loved this series, the result is really impressive. That being said, I have a couple of notes: 1) Not a fan of the flat bottom. I realize you are not meant to look at it, but it would be nice to have some details, like tubes and cables. I imagine there is no much source material to work with, but it wouldn't matter much. 2) It's really a pity you worked so hard on the interior and then it is basically impossible to see it without dismantling the model. I realize it's not easy to design a realistic exterior and at the same time have a clear look on the inside. Maybe a removable roof? I was even thinking that some of the external sections could be made transparent, but that's probably too complicated, it would defeat the purpose to have a realistic model, and probably would have looked awful in the end. Still I wonder if there is some compromise to be found. I hope this comment didn't sound too critical, just a couple of thoughts I had while I was watching. Overall I enjoyed the videos a lot and I think the result is amazing. Looking forward for the radio controlled version!

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks for subscribing and taking such an interest in my work. I am lucky to enjoy what I do and fortunately others like it too. Re your points 1- Armoured vehicles are generally all flat and smooth on the underside for protection. Even modern performance cars are covered in with undertrays. 2- Yes removable panels would give a better view of the interior. Given the nature of 3D printing large parts and correcting fit issues this is best left to the end user and would be down to personal preference. I welcome healthy comment. Don't worry I'm more like Jonesy than a Xenomorph. 😁

[@blackest3314]

@@StaplesandVine Thank you very much for the kind answer. I guess it makes sense that the bottom would not have exposed elements such as tubes and cables. Not to mention that the APC has a very low profile and moves through uneven terrain. I guess I was just expecting some texture or pattern. In any case doesn't affect much the end product. Looking forward to your next projects, expecially the dropship!

[@drakeangelheart]

Actually all the green parts from the movie were painted in that brown. You can also see it on the original marine armour props. The reason was the stark blue lights they used on set, that blue made the brown look green in the final movie.

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks for that, I knew there was a simple explanation. 🙂

[@foabmoab]

@@StaplesandVine I'm currently in the process of working on a 3D printed Pulse Rifle replica, and managed to snag a bottle from Archive X of 'Brown Bess', the colour they painted all the weapons in the movie. I wonder if that is what the APC was also painted in, at least on the miniature filming model (painting that full size tug with those little Humbrol tins, oof)

[@disregardthat]

was coming here to post this as well. they actually talk about it in the Anthology special features, you can even see pics of the props under natural lighting

[@StaplesandVine]

Thanks, I'll check that out. 😎

[@StaplesandVine]

I think the Archive-X paints are often based on Humbrol colours? from looking at their research that would seem to be the case. It would be geat to find out what colour the full size APC was actually painted with. 😎

[@svensvensson2724]

Great looking model. Only APC model that looks right. The brown on the studio model must be for the stage. If you look at the Enterprise, X-Wing & Buck Rogers Thunder Fighter, none of the studio models are the white they appear on the screen. TIE Fighter studio models are litterally blue, but films neutral grey. The paint is for lights and camera, not for the eye.

[@StaplesandVine]

Thank you for the great comment. It does pose the question for modellers. 'Do we paint models to match the screen or the miniature?' Personally I want to match the screen. 🙂

[@svensvensson2724]

@@StaplesandVine I always try to do screen accurate. IMO the alternative is for those models that really attempt to duplicate the studio model, scale and flaws. Like if you make a 1:24 TIE fighter with an Airfix Harrier pilot in it.

Very good video thank you. As to the colour of the filming miniature. Cameron tends to give an icy blue colour to his films so this would have changed the colour of the miniature when filmed. You must also remember that the film is now heading to 40 years so the paint on the miniature would have changed. I doubt it has been cleaned or stored correctly so smoke dirt oil and grease would have changed it. Also even worse someone may have tried to restore it and did it badly ( a common occurrence unfortunately) Poor cleaning and a poor understanding of the actual colour used - as they used the colour they saw on the miniature in its current state, not actually as it was painted.

[@StaplesandVine]

That's some very good points. I totally agree. It does make it hard to try and recreate something from the screen nearly 40 years ago. 🥴 Hopefully I got it pretty close. 🙂
