It was the perfect antidote to Star Wars, set in an eerily prophetic future where corporations, not governments, were the ones to push into space. Giger's design and Bolaji Badejo as the Alien/Xenomorph, it's one of the most terrifying sci-fi horror movies to date. Between Ridley Scott's direction, Dan O'Bannon's script, H.R. You could, technically, label Alien a creature feature but doing so would feel like an insult.

You will have to glue the sections together - you can also use the included but separate pegs, but we found that a little too fiddly and just used superglue. The first two are self explanatory but, by printing the latter out in the color of your choice, you get to choose the color of your cycle's body.

Yes, there are other light cycle models, also free, but this design is split into three files - black, grey, and color. The Light Cycle fight is one of the movie's most memorable sequences and thanks to this model, you can create your own light cycle.

You remove the small supports under each side of the chin after printing but, if you're not careful, you'll snack the tubes running from the base to the neck. The model comes with supports, and can be printed vertically without a raft. We say "relatively", because there's one thing to watch out for.

However, the original Terminator's design, stripped of its flesh, remains absolutely terrifying. Yes, Terminator: Dark Fate may have put things on hold for now but, mark our words, they'll be back. No, we're not talking about the Terminator itself, but Hollywood's efforts to continue and/or reboot the Terminator franchise. Creator: Machina (Image credit: Chris McMullen)
