I’m right now working on testing out converting an Imperial guard’s men to a United States Colonial Marine from the movie ALIENS, I spent a little bit playing around the other afternoon with greenstuff and this is what I have so far.
Sorry about the image quality I took the photo’s very late...

Well my idea for the site was more on showing people how to scrap build Buildings that look like the ones from ALIENS and so on. but links to sites that had good map decos would be good. Also the aliens are a little bit bigger then the marines. I had to make up my own space huld type board to...
I am thinking about setting up an aliens Marines site focused on gaming with Aliens and marines how to make terrain and vehicles and buildings. Basically coming up with rules to uses with the tree house kid aliens and plastic marines and easy to follow tuts so people can make their own table top...

Let me know what you guys think :)
I am going to post the rest of my USCM images in the painting forum so check there for updates. If any game is made for aliens it should alow for flexable gaming and not just based off missions from the movie. allow the gamers to make their own missions like StarShip troopers or wahammer 40K
update :P
Finished second marine and got him glued to his gaming base :)
Oh and the Flame Unit Marine is coming along should have him done in a day. and the smart gunner I am just about done fileing off the mold lines.

So once I get them all painted up will have 2...
