Welcome to the Aliens LV-426 Vehicle webpage. I created two separate vehicles. This is a dedication to master futurist artist Ron Cobb. I love all of Cobb's amazing designs. These vehicles can be seen parked in the exterior scenes of the Hadley's Hope Colony. I reproduced them as a printable 3D meshes in 1:18th scale. Purchase them individually or get them both together a massive discount.
EDIT July 2025: Please take note that in July 2025 I was happily contacted by one of the eminent model makers from ALIENS Mr. Paul Robbens, who created the vehicle you see above. He has this to say: "So credit wise the "truck" is actually a bus......the background thinking was this was the main transport for the colonists to get around the colony and be driven out to the landing pad. The title is actually 'Colony Bus'" The original model used as reference during this project was not actually film-used, but was finished to a higher level of detail by Mr. Robbens during post-production.
Thanks for this amazing info, Paul and congrats!
PURCHASE BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY AT A DISCOUNT:

This is a 3D print project in STL format. The model is scaled at 1:18th scale, making it 12" wide at its widest section. You can, of course, rescale the model smaller or larger depending on your printer. Print in either FDM or SLA formats.
The main parts are KEYED to help orient parts during construction.
