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!

HOLY FIRKING SNIT!!!! :)

Ooh, I see you didn't cast it with the etched brass detailing on. Will that be added later?

Also are you planning to do them with a clear dome, how could that be done?

Thanks guys.

Harry,
The clear domes are added in after the fact as the originals. They were three peices of dome added for the windows. The etching and the other details will be added after so they remain very crisp. We wan to stay as close to how the ones were done in the movie.

I will add the details on it this week so we can get the full effect of a completed casting.

Thanks
Steve

back up power source for the Ripley helmet.

I don't know if I will do this on that go out. Do you guys like this idea or would you prefer an internal power source?

Thanks to my good friend Fred for the stickers.
