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!

Hi all

I had a few spare moments today and was thinking about a grenade post on here where someone posted a picture of a body spray can, saying they thought it would make quite a good CN20 nerve gas canister.

So I thought it would be down to members here to decide whether to do it or not, but I thought if people wanted to do a drawing and submit it to this site for judging of their interpretation of what a CN 20 nerve gas canister would look like, I would take the wining entry, and make it, then give one to the winner as a prize.

It’s just a thought, as I get lots of free time over the silly season, and get bored real quick with nothing to do. (You can only drink and sleep so much, before even that gets tiring.)

It’s up to everyone here, as it would be you lot submitting and judging the design.

:) Don

It's a US Navy sonar buoy canister.
I have 2 of them sitting in a corner.

Yep, I made one out of that same canister, had electronics and markings...even internal mechanisms. That thing was too dam bulky.

Of course, not all nerve gas canisters need to look the same...
