alright guys , this last week i got my 2 characters from Aliens and together with that also got a Alien Warrior to make some company. I got two Hudson s and one Hicks. two are on those new phycen bodies ( im still thinking about that to be honest )and i will send to NenyDee for a repaint and weathering, the other Hudson i found someone selling already fully weathered , only thing i need is swap the knife with the new one i ordered , add some things on the body and the sculpts to arrive. i hope you guys like it

One possible option for name plaques -

Not used em, and so can't speak to quality / reliability but was planning on talking to him re a custom data plate for my pulse rifle [1:1 scale].

I have two plaques from him. Top notch in my opinion.

Memphismayfire85. Those are looking great. If you are going all the way for accuracy its going to be a long and bumpy road. I want to see how those turn and help you if I can.

They look great! You do realize though there is a typo on the Hudson one, right? .....USMC?

Re: Customizing your Marines: TIPS

Did not realize. USMC is the correct? United States Marine Corps.

The United States Colonial Marine Corps (USCM), commonly known as the Colonial Marines, is the United Americas' primary "force-in-readiness", founded in 2101.[1]

Correct.
For Aliens, USCM = United States Colonial Marines.
For the real-life marines, USMC = Untied States Marine Corps.

So the Hicks one is correct, Hudson incorrect.

No worries, this typo is easily done.
Look forward to seeing them on the final figures!

Hi guys.
I'd like to insist in one question I've touched upon before, yet without much success.
What do you think about this for Vas?:
