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!

Last mould has been poured (until i can find a rotary switch for the rear of the front section). Here are a couple of photos from todays work.

Clay lay up and mould box made, ready for the first pour.
Image

Flipped over and a pour spout plus 2 vents added. Ready for the 2nd pour.

Will get a test cast pulled on sunday and then a photo of all the parts together :)

Thankyou all! Glad to hear you're liking it so far.

Here is a shot of all the resin parts included in the kit. Going to see about getting the tubes tomorrow and the screen and keypad decals should be here this week too.

And here is the test fit of all the parts.

Would you consider doing a lighter 'stunt' foam version like your traps?

Im aiming to offer this kit for about £90. It will include high quality labels for the key pad and screen. Im also going to try and include the rods and rubber tube for the front section too.

Is there more than one screen design?

I'd like the option of swapping a clear one with a 'It's readin right man, look' type one.

They look great though Nick, don't get me wrong!
