Sci-fi bases for models include all sorts of things, and being a huge fan of the Aliens movies (yes, I even liked Alien 3 but not Alien 4!)

After months of it being just a pink and white monster, I finished the the ‘Big Red Building’ and a few other pieces last year for the game table:

When I got started I had two choices:
So I went with option 2 – got started during the first group painting sesh with one of the Hammertime 40K guys:
