UPP space Operating force
UPP special forces take down a satcom uplink tower 
Just steal the drops hip on the way outThe Union of Progressive people
Couple of weeks ago I had the crazy idea of making another human faction for any Alien based games and thought about the UPP. They are detailed in the RPG as basically space communists who have a bit of a cold war going on with the Americas. The colonial marine guide details the unions forces and some if the vehicles. 
I picked up Wargames Atlantics cannon fodder box but the guns are a bit too ladgun for this project. 
These five will be the space Operating Force who I'm basing off the art work above. These will be the unions special forces while everyone else are the peoples army. I used spare armour plating from my WW1 French for shoulder pads
From Anvil Industries I got some of their imperial guard conversion bits. I wanted something that looked more like an AKpulse rifle and some shoulder pads that look a bit colonial marine but more bulky
Nostromo crew
Painting up the board game pieces. You don't get the full crew and are board game pieces but still look good. 
Last stand
A friend of mine 3D printed this last stand section for my colony which was nice if him. I've been a bit distracted by other projects so still need to get my ground floor sorted 
Landing grid
The landing grid is at the north end of the colony complex but I'm not doing the whole thing and if I did I could always move the board to that side to represent it 
I'm only doing a section of the landing grid poking on to the table. Just enough room for the dropship
What's next?
My boards don't go all the way to match the size of my interiors so I need to expand this as well as completing the interior ground floor. I want to create a second building near the communication dish. I was thinking a bar for some colonial recreation
I also need a proper landing grid
