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!

Looks like the gyro sight is not from an aircraft but for a ship based anti-aircraft gun.

So I took a break for a few months and recently decided to jump back in :delta:

I was surprised to make a new discovery (new to me, anyway!) in the APC today. Awhile ago I decided to go through the film areas and compile where I have spotted the Kango 426 toolbox. Until today, I had believed that the 5 found on the roof of the APC were black. They are in fact painted the very lovely 170 Brown Bess. Today I noticed there were black details on the lids. I flipped through my images taken in different areas in the colony and found some of the details were re-used elsewhere throughout each set! Note the "Rough Layout Approximation" is not complete as I can't make out what I'm seeing. Details aren't fleshed out either, but enough to get a good idea.

Also, an old find in the APC that I haven't pinpointed yet, but thought I'd share for board input. Awhile back I noticed this shot when brightened vividly shows coloured buttons on this unit which appears to be a radio. I remember at the time I did a blanket Google image search for radios and found one with the same coloured buttons, but different layout. Likely the same brand... Now, to find it again!

And I shared this in retrogarde's Medlab Operation Theatre thread but thought it fits here too. I wonder what this door switch is? I think it has a red 2 digit display on it. I wondered if maybe it's a digital thermostat?

Hello,
I was wondering if you or anyone else was able to identify the Interior Door Switches panel?

Not sure what you are looking for - a picture might help.

Hey,
If it was from Facebook then that would have likely been myself and a few other peeps as a few of us were discussing the lab door entrance panels. It's commonly on eBay listed but normally like £50+ in the UK. Probs get cheaper state side. I managed to score 2 for less than £20 each though. It was just playing the waiting game. Got both of mine sat next to me at the moment still waiting on a paint job which I was meant to start like 8 months ago XD
