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!

I’m very close to starting my Motion Tracker Project (with lights and sound effects), so I thought I would start a thread to generate ideas and assistance for my project.

Although I have bought a complete SpatCave Motion Tracker kit, I have been trying to purchase original parts (listed below);

Motion Tracker Parts
Mesh from Super switch intruder alarm box - Got (alternative part found)
Assess brand sphygmomanometer inner pump widget - Got (Using SpatCave’s model part)
Hama Slide Viewer B101/3642 - Got original part
Jobo minilux Dark-room Lamp (model 6415 or 6410) - Got original part
Hama Self Timer model# 5401 - Got original part
Case to Hama Self Timer - Got original part
Vivitar 2500 Thyristor Flash Unit Parts - Got original part
Olympus T28 Calculator Panel (Ideally 50mm) - Got original part
Bisley/Webley & Scott German Sling Swivels - Got original part
Rotary switch (varies even on actual props) - Missing
Kango 426 Hammer Drill - Still looking for original part but will use SpatCave’s model part
Matchbox Power unit/Transformer (from Power Track 2000+) - Still looking for original part but will use SpatCave’s model part
Hama Remote #39402 - Still looking for original part but will use SpatCave’s model part
Casio SL-85 calculator number panel - Still looking for original part but will use SpatCave’s printout

My biggest problem is building the Motion Tracker screen, that plays a screen actuate image and sound effects.

One idea I am playing with using a Hallmark Greetings card. The card comes with a programmable LCD display and sound board.

Pictures to follow
