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!

Hello all,

I´ve finally finished my Nickatron motion tracker kit.
Took some sanding and filling but came together nicely. Stickers for the side numbers , calculator panel and screen were included.
I added a real t28 calculator panel and vivitar flash parts. The bottom knob is a turnswitch that turns on the flashlight leds inside the viewer.
The leds are attached with hot glue (lots :lol: ) to the batterypack which is held in place with magnets for easy removal.
Colour: spraycan RAL 7006, itś between olivedrab and brown bess and a coat of medium gloss varnish.
The base is a piece of oak I had laying around, coated with high gloss varnish.

All in all a nice kit,

No it is a real knob from an old radio, it fits righton the potentiometer/switch that I implemented. The kit did came with a resin copy of the knob that was used on the ghost trap.
