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!

Hello All,

Bit of a detail question here... Pending a bulk order of very nice kit for the SPAT-MEISTER.

The helmet pouches... We're they originally use in the film with radios and batteries to allow the Beyerdynamic headsets in the helmets to properly function? Does anyone know if all of the helmets for the marines were made in this way?

How were the pouches actually attached under the lobster plates and does that make the plates uncomfortable / sit wrong?

Cheers guys...

Harry's site has this info:

Possibly attached by velcro?

I made one for mine, held with Velcro, it doesn't effect wearing the helmet at all and looks kinda cool actually

Follow the link that PVB posted.

It shows a picture of one fitted to a helmet and also tells you that it housed the mic transmitters used when they were recording the movie. :D
