There is nothing more impressive than a bloody big Alien
wiggling on the end of a sharp stick!

I've been wanting to make one of these for the longest time but a) don't have a workshop and b) don't have any tools.
It looks fantastic though!!

WHY DO YOU TAUNT ME SO?!?!?!?!?

Nice work Simon, Looking foward to seeing it this weekend.

Darren

It looks fantastic man!

Another project on my "to do" list- but just like Tony, I don't have the proper tools (much less the time to work on it ).

Once again well done!

"I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won."

Could you (if possible) send me over a list of what parts you used and a few measurements to create this masterpiece?

I can see the MDF size and shape but the rest is eluding me.
This is definately one I want to do before DC07 and I'm sure Sarg here is drooling as much as I am.

I've now added a (Thompson) sling to it and the graffiti "They salute I shoot" to the LHS of the receiver.

I'll get some dims and a diagram done for those who are interested.
