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!

 Post subject: Helmet graffiti and new recruit.

Ladies, and gents, Marines, I'd like to introduce two things to you. First, my first attempt at armour graffiti - on the helmet, as it is:

Image


More detailed if the glare is annoying you as it does me:

Image


VERY obviously hand-drawn - thank you all the people who advised me to get paint pens. I had to order them from the US because you simply cannot get hold of them in Ireland, but they were definitely worth it! :D




Now, I'd also like to introduce a friend of mine I just recruited: Honorary Private Frag, Colonial Feline Corps!

Image

Please note the hanging ordnance from the [invisible] red bandana collar:

Image

One of Cpl. Beaudoin's fine micro grenades, as a last resort. :P

And here's Private Frag in action against an un-catalogued Xeno:

What can I say. I'm at work, it's a quiet day, with miserable weather outside, and I'm bored. :lol:

Cheers!

That's "her", though. Private Frag is of the female persuasion. :P

And, by the way, that's her real name. I got her as a kitten from a mate who was in the Irish Army at the time, he brought me the little furball in a box of ... frag grenades. It stuck. :lol:

Hope I can in the near future!!

Awesome helmet by the way.
Like a mix between the Marines and Walmart employees.

Er... Thanks? I think?
I'm probably missing a cultural reference here. :P

Scooter looks absolutely cool. I tried to make a little camo'ed harness for Frag but, being a cat, it took her about 2/10th of a second to shake off the trial version, and less than that to make me understand that, no, she wasn't going to let me put a more secure version on.

Ah well. Felines are stealthy by nature, no need for BDUs!

One question...

Why is your cat attacking a Book Worm? XD

o_O A big cookie for you for spotting that one! :)

I have almost their entire collection spread out over a couple of bookshelves (yes, I collect fluffy toys, but only weird ones. Anyone want to make an issue of this? :P ), and every morning when the cat wakes up before me, she passes the time until I open the door for her by attacking those she can reach. She's been steadily moving up the shelves - on a good day she can catch 6 or 7 of them before waking me up. It's like a microbian slaughterhouse! ^_^

Ack. Thanks a lot, but I'm afraid I can't take the credit. I saw that one a good ten years ago on a Star Trek bumber sticker - only it was Starfleet Security.

I only remembered and adapted. :o
