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!

These are the three helmets I'm using for the build, the 'Born to film' helmet is a Thai plastic 'Motorcycle Helmet' I got visiting my brother in Phuket , which I turned into a helmet cam/mount (pre-GoPro days) - it's basically the right size & shape and I'll be using it as the test bunny to cut holes etc.

The other two are SPH4's, I need to make another visor housing as the second one I got had the double visor, I had rationalised that I could adjust this one as it would be under the Rapier sight mounting, it won't work so I'll fabricate a visor using styrene.

Got Stephen210's kits yesterday so was able to make a template - testing tomorrow.

I will post pix of the build as I go along.

Could someone please confirm that they base colour is Brown Bess?

Good luck, I built Ferro's flight helmet a while ago and it was a lot of fun. ☺

Most of the clothing complete now, slightly bizarre as they don't need to fit anybody apart from a mannikin.

Working on the helmets, I have the Rapier sight mount coming, but I felt I needed to at least build something, so drawing up and printing the Spunkmeyer helmet attachments.

Got Stephen's Rapier Sight mount today - brilliant! Now measuring up for the sight parts.

One pic exists showing something in one of Spunkmeyer's kneepads, so I made this up. May as well take advantage of the kneepad space.

Yes - but had to adjust a bit - this is the one I'm using.
