Quote - "As has been pointed out several times, people in the position to examine the model and compare it to the Aliens vehicle have been satisfied that it is different enough to not infringe."

that makes me laugh each time I read it... they compared the 3D model to the Movie mockup? ;) where!!! I wanna get photos of that baby....

 

Things like that make me want to roll my eyes every time I see them. Perhaps PT Barnum would have been just as correct to say that "There's a synic born every minute."

There are numerous photo references available for the Aliens APC (which you can have for a mere $12.99 + free super saver shipping at Amazon.com) with which to compare any particular 3D APC model.
