Mihe Stonee spent 3 months making this 2′ 6″ model of the USCSS Nostromo from the movie Alien. I like the texture created from using of bent rigid tubes tacked on the tiled hull, which mimics the feature seen on the actual ship.
I can’t believe Aliens is 25 years old. I’m not sure Giovanni Tuzzi built this life-size M41A1 Pulse Rifle to celebrate the movie’s anniversary, but it’s certainly awesome. Giovanni’s rifle includes several working functions, including triggers, cocking handle, pumping grip, and removable magazine.
Andrew Lee has set his talented hand to some aliens in the style of, well, Alien. I think that H.R. Giger would be proud. Make sure to note the fantastic technique used on the tail (you can see it wrapping around the right side of the rock). Also note the inclusion of the tiny mouth Continue reading →
That alien queen needs to be bombarded from orbit. This microscale U.S.S. Sulaco by 2×4 seems up to the job. Via MicroBricks.
Kevin Fedde had this burst out recently. Watch out, it could happen to you.
Larry Lars has been on a bit of an Aliens kick lately. His Colonial Marines APC is the latest in a long tradition of LEGO creations inspired by this awesome vehicle, but Larry’s version has some excellent turrets and sweet angles. The Power Loader looks ready to take on the alien queen.
The concept of a dropship has always fired my imagination — especially after seeing Aliens way back when. Havoc seems to share my fascination, as demonstrated by this fantastic rendition of the UD-4L Cheyenne Utility Dropship: Naturally, the missile pods folder into the dropship’s fuselage: While we’re at it, here’s Havoc’s Aliens APC. Though it’s Continue reading →
The Fine Clonier Haunted Halloween Custom Minifig Contest has resulted in some great minifigs, including all of Jamie Spencer’s spooky figs. One of my favorites so far, though, is this custom Chestburster (from Alien) by pirie1:
Tyler Clites goes theatrical with his latest batch of minifigs, inspired by the Predator and Alien movies. Notice the minifig hands Tyler used for the Predator’s mouth:
Aliens remains one of my favorite sci-fi movies, in large part because of the awesome (though mostly futile) hardware the Colonial Marines throw at the aliens. Havoc‘s version of the M577 APC is chock full of awesome: This bad boy even has a full interior: (Via Whippersnappers in the Void.) The Aliens movies have spawned Continue reading →
The latest LEGO creation inspired by Aliens is one built mostly from Bionicle by Jeff Ranjo. (Via Klocki.)
If you thought Arvo’s Chestburster sculpture was awesome, their newest work is just stunningly amazing. The Arvo brothers have created HR Giger’s Alien in its frightening entirety. This magnificent horror sends shivers even down my spine. We hope Arvo will have more pictures uploaded soon. EDIT (AB): And thanks to reader Carlos for sending us Continue reading →
See more Aliens LEGO from Mike Yoder on Brickshelf.
This one clearly deserved its own post. If you read Spanish, you can discuss this latest creation from the Arvo brothers on Hispalug. Via Masoko Tanga.
