Post subject: | Exhibition of original 'Aliens' props & costumes - October! |
I'm happy to announce that I'll be exhibiting my collection of props and costumes from 'Aliens' at the National Space Centre in Leicester (UK) on the 31st October and 1st November as part of their Halloween Alien Encounter event. http://www.spacecentre.co.uk/special-events/alien-encounter-halloween I've just been going through all of my archive and behind the scenes photos as well as I'll be playing a slide-show in the same room. There are 2224 images so far! That means that if I show each one for one second the loop will run at nearly 40 minutes! Eek! Here's a photo of a small selection of what's in the collection. Left to right: Gorman, Bishop, Drake (with replica Smartgun), Ferro, Spunkmeyer, Hudson. Attachment: Oh, and I'm aware that I'm not posting this in the UKCM section, that's deliberate in that some folks don't read that section. Over the years the UK fan-base has changed a lot and while there are some old far... folks I know from way back I've not met a lot of you new folk so I'd like to extend an invitation for all involved to come along and say hello. See you soon! Harry |

I am hoping to be there.... Still got a few 'logistics' issues to sort out before I can confirm though. |

If anyone can get me a good pic of the green used on the armor in natural light while they're there, I'll kiss their feet! Been driving me insane for years now, and it would be great to finally have a definitive answer!! Thanks in advance! |

If I make it up there, I'll even take a picture of them against my Humbrol colour swatches at the same time! (If Harry will let me get close enough!). |

I'm sure that can be arranged. Harry |

Saw the poster for this when I drove past the NSC on the way to Leeds. Sad that I'll not be in the UK to see this, any chance it might be a semi-regular thing? I'm currently trying to talk the wife into moving back to the UK for a couple of years ... we'll see on that one. |

Was there ever a tour through the US? That would be most excellent for those of us that are afraid of flying... |

carrief wrote: Was there ever a tour through the US? That would be most excellent for those of us that are afraid of flying... Sadly no. I do hope that one day I can bring the collection over to Canada and the US (to Dragon Con and SDCC) so that you guys over the pond can see it in person but the cost of doing so is definitely beyond my means I'm afraid. Even UK event organisers are reluctant to have the collection on display as the space it takes up is potential dealer-table space that's lost, which means less money coming in on table hire charges. Events are very income driven these days and so collections like mine are very much a low priority, particularly as I'm not selling anything and therefore not contributing to the event financially.

Personally I think that fan tables and collector tables are a good reason to go to a Con. Cons like DragonCon, FedCon, NSC Alien Encounter …. Which sells tickets at the end, perhaps not enough. I guess it’s at the end like for the festivals the dealers count not the person only buying the ticket. Not that I’m against Merchandice. It should be "just a" not "THE only" part of a Con. Again thanks to Mr. Harris for showing his collection. |

What Harry displays is only a small portion of what he has |

PLEASE...someone tell me we got some decent pics of the colors, or the aforementioned color swatch matching? |
Author: | Chef [ Fri Nov 14, 2014 8:42 am ] |

We did take some good pictures. But I forgot my swatches, which was a real pain. I took some pictures next to some of my armour that I took up, so we can do a bit of colour comparison, so all wasn't lost. I have sent a set of my swatches to Harry for reference, but he's not going to be able to get to his screen used stuff until in the new year as it has all gone back in storage. I'll see if I can get my pictures up here. Stand by. |

Thank you for posting those. Looking forward to seeing how the swatch matching comes out. Interesting bit about the grey. And mildly surprised about the brown. I had thought the plain old brown (sorry don't have the number on hand) matched the pics better, but not having seen the real thing in person, I'll defer to your observations. Had my suspicions about the tan as well. Glad to see they were correct. Looking forward to seeing anything anyone else might have caught during the exhibition. Thanks again! |
