Beeps, sci-fi, and trains

I should mention, the “aliens” are HO scale figures, with new heads made from Squadron putty, and alien eyes painted on.

Artie this looks great!  I am working on a larger flying saucer model myself. I intend to incorporate a lava lamp for tractor beam looking effect.

Artie,

This is fantastic! I like the custom aliens there are some on my layout too!

I think you will enjoy this OGR thread, several people have aliens/UFOs on their layouts:
Let’s see some Fun/Silly/Fanciful Scenes

Tres cool! :-)

Thanks, everyone! Bryce, I remember that thread, and thanks for reminding me. I only have Bigfoot lurking on top of the mountain on my main layout.

Artie it is a good idea to give this topic its own thread. In the one photo Robbie the robot is way too big. The Martian War Machine is exact 1:48 scale. Gort is close to O scale. He was suppose to be near 8' tall. It is nice when you can combine several of you favorite things.

Do Lego Star Wars figures count?

Done with a little photo-tomfoolery:

Great stuff, guys! Dan, is that Martian War Machine from Atlantis models? And, where did you get the Gort figure?

And, yes, Star Wars figures count.

Rusty, I notice you have the Martian machine as well. Is that an Atlantis model?

I was a film archivist, and ran MoMA’s Film Preservation Center for 18 years until my retirement in 2015. We had those films, and classic sci-fi was my favorite. We had over 80,000 films in the collection when I left.

Artie the Martian War machine is from Pegasus. It was sold in kit form or prebuilt. The Gort figure was part of a keychain I got off eBay.

Also Pegasus.  Mine is the unplated model.

On the topic of Sci-fi, does anyone know where I can get some Battlestar Galactica themed O-scale accessories?

I have 3D printed a Viper MkII (I will upload a picture later today) and I am looking for matching figures. I can design/3D print them if I have to but I would rather not.
Thanks in advance!
