APC research has began 
First thing Iīve noticed was the
clearance height of the APC. All over the internet are the APCs allmost offroads.
Here is the question of functional - optional height of Aliens APC and itīs imaginary terrain passability. Anyway,
there is
Colonial Marine Technical Manual drawing( Again
) exist and lots of people take it
as a fact.
Thatīs why allmost every internet apc is terrain version (no offence
)
Movie version APC is
low profile vehicle. (fits better into our Dropship)
The difference between those two states is
12cm in real life...a Iīve calcuclated. That is
0.5cm in our model...thatīs a negligible number.
A guy call himself Hydride Ion done serious research and created really nice thechnical drawing that confirm most movie props.
I wanted to go deeper and confirm Hydride Ionīs predictions about the shape and clearance height..and here it is:
1) APC taken directly from USCM TM and lowered in clearance height.
2) Hydride Ionīs blueprint shows few differences (profile contour is bit different and rear whell fender is higher than in USCM technical manual art)
3) Photo of 1:1 movie prop (de-perspective-ised) shows that Hydride Ions technical blueprint is right.
4) All layers visible ī=> show the way how to create te APC.
..movie prop and Hydrid Ions way
...research continues...
