Good to see you back Sabre. Those kits are looking great. I especially like the lighting on the Aliens APC. The shadow the grill casts is just like the film :)

thanks crispy :) that apc was a complete pia :-/ the roof was warped and didn't fit so had to scratch a new roof, the glue made the plastic on the side door crack due to the plastic being that old it reacted for some reason????? the wheels didn't fir right on the hubs and then I started scratching a full interior lets say just no it became apparent very quickly that the film interior doesn't actually fit the apc even on the real thing it didn't fit and with the lighting there was just no room so I thought **** it ill just seal it up then I thought the aliens apc was to clean and I wanted a dirty one so I never put the sulaco decals on or the 2d left it plain and weathered it up as if its been on some other mission :)

how did the rc apc build go or is it still a works in progress lol :)

oh the grills where drilled out and mesh was put in you cant see it in the video but there is an engine assembly behind the grills ;) courtacy of a spare x wing :)

Great detail. I remember the parts fit was horrible on mine. Yeah the RC APC is currently in disguise

Thought I'd put the long arms back on the WT01 chassis and run it until I'm ready to do the plasticard work on the APC. It's actually a very fun handling chassis!
