Miniatures etc


Colony building

A 1:50 scale miniature building, measuring 33 x 32.5 x 8.3cm. This model was used in the scene where the marines fly over Hadley's Hope for the first time. Constructed from cast resin walls with a plasticard roof, dressed with stock plastic rod and blocks. Kitbashers among you may notice parts from a Star Wars snowspeeder, Imperial shuttle, Millennium Falcon and Eagle transporter.

Colony street-lights

Vacuformed light-shades housing pea bulbs, still attached to lengths of wire. These lights can be made out as Apone scans the street through binoculars.

Egg

85mm tall, made from plaster. It is believed that eggs such as this were made for the miniature queen nest.

Cargo container

This ¼ scale container was used in the miniature filming of the battle between the alien queen and Ripley in the powerloader.

Vidfone screen

There are two videophone terminals in the Sulaco hangar bay. This ¼ scale miniature was used during scenes filmed with the model queen and powerloader. The miniature is of plastic with a shaped wooden screen.
Note: in some publicity photographs the booth clearly shows a 'VIDFONE' sign - but this was blacked out prior to filming.

This piece fits beneath the screen (see above). Again made from painted plastic.

These 1:12 scale tiles, measuring 35 x 35mm were used on the miniature dropship bay set.
