These are really awesome, I can't believe I've never seen this thread before.  Excellent project, excellent painting, and, though he's only 10mm tall, I want to reach in and thump Burke.  One of the best exchanges in any movie ever:

Ripley: How long after we're declared overdue can we expect a rescue?
Hicks: [pause] Seventeen days.
Hudson: Seventeen *days?* Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen *hours!* Those things are gonna come in here just like they did before. And they're gonna come in here...
Ripley: Hudson!
Hudson: ...and they're gonna come in here AND THEY'RE GONNA GET US!
Ripley: Hudson! This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training.
[to Newt]
Ripley: Right?
[Newt apes a salute]
Hudson: Well F'in-A man, why don't you put her in F-in charge!

Classic!  Looking at these has got me thinking about a Terminator-style game, using the colonial Marine figures as John Connor's resistance.  Hmmm...

Again, great work!

V/R,
