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!

Hey all,
So I have recently started getting my kit together and started putting my armour together and painting etc and thought I would share where I'm up to ...

So I started with one of Chef's kits ...
Image

Then got some of Noble's bits n peices...
Image

I cleaned up and started painting some of the parts ...
Image

Prepared, weathered and assembled some bits...
Image

then started on the chest plate which is all but finished (steps shown in pic) ...
Image

Now I'm working on the back plate ...
Image

Thanks for having a look and I will post up some more pics as I make more progress ;)
Cheers,

Are you using a primer or anything before painting? Any specific color for your base coat?
