One improvement i can already see, is the groove on the wheel spokes. The HT one misses them, but oddly has them on the spare under the hood. HT are a strange lot.
Another possible upgrade would be to have it big enough to actually seat figures inside.
The 2nd head looks good. I just hope the boots are fabric. The moulded HT ones force the figure into a standing pose, as there was no poseability in the ankles.
Fitting the seats. I had to make them slightly bigger, so placing figures would be a lot easier. The interior set of the APC exceeded the dimensions of the actual vehicle, so it was always going to be a compromise.
Why not just make individual releases for each character? If you just wanted Maverick in flight gear, you have to buy this set as well as the Pete set and end up with leftover Ice and Goose heads and helmets.
I added folding armrests to both seats.
The armrests are connected to brass tubes with a screw passing through the middle. Slots in the backrest provide the stops.
Making the passenger seats. There's 12 of these, so it's taking a while.
I went with the sculpted hair. Nothing against rooted, but i will wait for the in hand pics of the rooted hair version.
Count me in for an L.A. version if they decide to do one.
Absolutely Bad *****!
Would love to get more Marines, to fill up my APC . Were you able to source all the gear loose? or is it made? It's very rare to see Aliens stuff parted out.
