The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

So I've been asking around after seeing the LEGO dropship thread, but I can't find anyone who can/would build one.

I'd do it, but I haven't touched anything LEGO since I was a kid.

Just try it - building it is all the fun! Getting the necessary parts is the hard part.

Cheers,
Stefan

I'm lucky, my 10-yr-old DAUGHTER loves Star wars Legos- She just got the new Slave One and the Imperial Transport with, and has the huge destroyer with Darth Vader (her favorite character) and a captured Endor walker with Chewbacca (her second favorite).
I've been having fun helping her build these- which is fair, considering she now owns all my old Legos...

Well, I would, except LEGO'S aren't cheap. And I don't want to go into this blindly picking up sets, just to find out I either don't have the right parts, or simply can't build anything.

No kids in the area? Maybe you can rent some LEGOs. :wink:

DSB, have you tried the Lego Digital Designer? It's a program which lets you build Lego models on the screen, working from palettes of real bricks. When you've finished, if you like what you've built you just press a button to buy the bricks you used.

Free download here. It can be frustrating to begin with, but stick with it. I used it to build Harry's pulse rifle. :)

Mike, thanks for the link. I had thought about using that, but I was afraid that being unfamiliar with LEGO's, that the build wouldn't...look right, if that makes any sense.

But I'll give it a go, looks like it will be my only route.

Bug Stomper, plenty of kids in the area (not that I have each of them tagged and tracked :lol: ) and plenty of places to purchase LEGO's locally. We even have a set that my son plays with, but it's one of those simple sets, with two parts that form a person with the face printed on one side, etc.
I tried building a dropship with it, but I completed only one landing gear, and it didn't look like a landing gear. :lol:
