Hello, I'm new to these forums and I'm honored to actually post in them. I'm Robert and I'm 18 years old. My first home-made costume was a VERY simply made Xenomorph costume.
Here are some specs:
Head:
-The head took the longest to plan
-Made of paper mache, which covers 2 apple juice containers that are cut in certain areas. The containers are taped and glued to a black helmet. the teeth are made of cardboard, and no other detail.
Body & Tail:
-The body & tail took the longest to make and a lot of time to plan.
-The rib cage, tail, and neck is literally made of a hospital bed. using cut foam material.
Back:
-Contains 4 tubes I simply found in my garage and board that is strapped to my back which hold the tubes to stick outward and makes the unable to bob or fall.
Under Shirt & Arms:
-Contains pieces of tubing to give more of the Xeno's features for his arms.
Legs:
-The legs have no features. It is just black sweatpants.
Paint:
-Simple Black paint out of a spray can you can purchase at Wal-mart
Some extra information:
-This was a VERY BASIC made costume that has taken me 2-3 months to make but under 30$.
-This costume also got me 2nd place in the costume contest at my school (First place being a teacher...yeah...I know)
-I also have had many "Nerf" wars in this costume against my brothers and friends, because, although cheap, it is very durable.
-My eye's look through the neck of the costume, there are no eye holes or mouth holes. It just a ski mask that was cut and is placed over my face. My vision is a bit blacked but I can still see and breath.
I love Xenomorphs and the Alien movies. I want to step up to the next level.
I've been endlessly looking for Xenomorph costume kits. I've looked high and low on these forums and I cannot find any. I must be looking in the wrong places.
May I have some guidance? I have money, and a job. I can afford the costume, I just don't know where the kits are and the "Types" of Xeno's they offer. I also may need a guide to help me put it together. I know what I'm up against, I just need some guidance. Thank you for reading this

P.s. If you'd like more pictures of my basic costume, I'll be happy to do so. However, to see all of your costumes and then show mine is uhh...very embarrassing to me.
