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!

 Post subject: New Dropship Pilot Helmet Ear Piece

While I’m getting up the nerve to drill a mounting hole in my Beyerdynamic Headset to mount the camera. I switched projects and started putting together an ear piece for a Dropship Helmet. I’m trying to use as many real parts I have at my disposal and looking closely at Stephen 210’s resin cast piece. I also looked at the archive material on this site that was extremely helpful. I used parts from the Robotech Axiod Kit, a Polaroid CL635, some Plastruck mercury lamps LF-316 and LF-312. A weapon piece from a vintage Transformer Autobot and the little earphone jack looking part is actually a charging plug from an old Mini-Vac that I’ve had for years that was broken and I could never throw it away. Looking at it and photos in the archives, it actually looks like the correct part! So like my headset, it’s close and I used as many correct parts as I could find but it’s not exactly screen accurate. I’m very pleased with the way it’s coming along and the detail really stands out when you do a build like this.
