The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

That's a fair shout. If they would be willing to let us use one of the promo shots that would also get us over the copyright issues.

Sounds like a very good idea.
They did had some great motives and
even their wallpapper pcitures have a higher resolution that the BluRay screenshots.
Plus the copyright point.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if Gearbox can release anything without sayso from Sega. And that is unlikely.

Waaay ahead of you - The folk I know at Axis couldn't help, but my query to the guys we met from Sega at Rezzed and Eurogamer has bounced up the chain a few links now - I emailed 'em last week.
Not holding my breath, but we've not gotten to the "Nope, can't help you" stage yet!

I have just picked up the new horizontal Roll Up.
The Motive here is based on the new Design as shown on the vertical banner at LFCC.

It shows clearly the advantage of the larger backdrop suggested by AJ.
I’m looking forward to see what Padsbrat or Gerabox could come up with for the motive.

For the Details on the Photoshoot backdrop I would suggest also use the new Design elements of banner (with or without the focus on UKCM, under the condition that Paul is okay with it, of cause).

Been way for the last week but managed to get started on the floor portion of the photo backdrop. It still needs some more detailing but we are getting there. It's great how many people have been helping me out on this, so I would like to say thanks to everyone.

We had a large APC and Alien hive banner/backdrop at the FarK Con and it worked very well.
The display type AJ came up with so that it can be placed anywhere without a robe or cable binders is great!
Plus it helps keeping the backdrop in shape.

I hope we can get a great motive!

In the meantime I ordered the APC backdrop for Cons in Germany.

Those displays also provide a "Krypton Factor" type challenge for attaching the magnetic image sections... Which is always fun :D

Ok guys it's getting close to a date where I will have to order the back drop if we want it guarantee for the NSC event. So if you have a image that will work or if padsbrat thinks the redone image will be ready with the next couple week then I will hold off ordering it but if not I may have to source something for the time being.
Any help on this would be greatly accepted

I got another email from Sega, but they were just saying that they have some hi-rez wallpapers on their website if any of those are any use :(

It is a great step forward having their allowance to use this material.
From the resolution these pictures might not be good enough for larger backdrops, though.

I will see if I can get hold of the APC Background that was good enough for a 2x3.5m Backdrop.

Would a high resolution photo of a model work? There were some guys down in South America making Hadley's Hope and Sulaco dioramas for NECA figures. They were very accurate and lit well to boot. If all else fails it might be worth contacting them.
