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!

As the iconic character is a tasteful costume my wife agreed to do the costume.

This is in the beginning stages. To mt knowledge no on has done a costume of her.

Thats a pretty cool idea. Great start

For those not aware, Linn was the female human character from the AvP arcade game back in the day (the other human being a robot-armed "Dutch").

She also made appearances in street fighter and other Capcom games as her character was so iconic.

The elbow pads and knee pads I will have to cheat a little on as my wife is more about creature comforts and I have to factor that into the build. She otherwise does not complain that much about discomfort but I have found that if you up the comfort factor and sacrifice minor details for comfort you can wear a costume ALL day and have more visual impact with more people.

These seemed to be a close match that I can mod to apply some heat formed PVC and glue to them:

I'd forgotten all about her - Great idea!
Looking forward to seeing how your build progresses :)
