I only have the Revell Robotech Axoid Changer, myself. I will be checking it soon.

Can I get more info on the Gateway Shuttle? Never seen any info on it before

Oh boy, I didn't even think of the Gateway Shuttle!

I built a replica a few years back so I might be able to look through the unused parts for matches.

I'm wondering if these 'buttons' are caps from small push-switches, like this one.

I've wondered that too. There are caps that are concaved like we see but I can't track any down myself that is 15mm and also available in 9mm

Harry - that looks good!
And it is available in 10mm as well as 15mm Diameter.

Cheers

I looked at RS components as it’s highly likely that they would have been one of the suppliers to production.

For the smaller 9mm button,

What about: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/push-but ... s/1746145/
The stock photo isn't indicative of how it is supposed to look, but can be seen here: https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/deta ... 000/241399


For the larger 15mm button.
Maybe: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/push-but ... es/1806879
Again, on Digi-Key CA: https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/deta ... 89/2357756

RS's is green but it comes in multiple colours if you read the datasheet and we can't see the true colour beneath the paint

Both are concaved

I placed an order for RS 339-279 and RS 339-617 as the sides seem more cylindrical. I'll post a picture when I get them.

You only see the welders functioning in close-up; so chances are they just used a real welder and zoomed in on the tip.

I think it is much easier. They simply build one welder just like the others, but with this one they attached the necessary hoses/cables to the transformer which go out of the bottom of the grip.
That way you have a functional prop and you only need to hide the hoses/cables. It's the same with the flamer - the gas bottle at the bottom only feeds the pilot flame. If the flamer is actually fired they needed to attach a hose to the rear of the flamer. This supplied the actual fuel/gas for the main nozzle.

I agree its rigged but you do see the top with screen of the welder when they show it cutting or welding. It's not just a novel they have it rigged to look like it's the film handheld version.

Yeah exactly. It isn't just a nozzle it's the top part of the Aliens welder.

Thank you Moosh! If you could distill Cameron's aesthetic for Aliens onto a single photo it would be one of these with the blue glow against the red emergency lighting.

Hi Guys !
I made a 3D printed replica of the Hand Welder... !
It is based on the one recently sold on Propstore. Here it is !

An active Member of your forum kindly invited me to join you on this discussion !
So here I am ! You guys seems to have some rare shots from the production, wich is really cool. I could update my model to make it closest to the real one.
But.... wich one should be considered as the "real" one up to you ? The working one ? The on screen one ? The stunt one ?

^^^^ That’s pretty much perfect! Well done!!! Looks amazing

They're all "real," but different prop versions. Or do you mean "real" inside the Aliens universe?

Exactly !

I think, in the Aliens Universe, technically, it should be, at leat autonomous...
Regarding the details, I don't know which shot to use as "the master reference"

Hello Buissonland, good to see you here after our mail conversation. Your model printed beautifully, I have ordered some dark grey see-through plexiglass for the screen. It would be nice to have the 2 buttons on the other side as seen in the screen used props.
The users here always come up with more information and never before seen photoś.
I like the look of the welders with the round bottomcap, it seems to me the most in universe.
