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!

Hi all.

Doing some PR research and I'm looking for a better quality photo of this:

download/file.php?id=21&mode=view

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Ryan

Dan (aliensarchive) may be able to help you with this. He may also have some additional prints of the other photos, as such:

I have been VERY pleased with mine. ;)

As far as I know, aliensarchive sold most of the pics unfortunately...
I'd be interested in a print of the photos as well.

Cheers!

Me too! :D

However, I'm still looking to get a copy of the RIGHT side as well...

...which I believe Dan does not own (because I seem to remember asking him). It is actually a combination of two photos, as was the above LEFT side image originally sourced from Dan.

I'd love to see the front and bottom views of this Bapty build as well.

Glad you got one (left side), Rick. I'll have you know it is a TRUE work of art. My biggest concern was in preserving the hand written stuff. ...and this was among the most difficult part of the piece. :wink:

I'm pretty sure Dan doesn't own the left side photo either.
I don't think it's cool if someone sells an original photo, then waits a couple of years and starts selling copies if it.

The left side is the only one available. I doubt the others will be, would be nice to have a set.

Note how much of the front trigger guard is left on the 'Firing Hero' 870.

I've had so many 'spirited debates' with people about that, with people insisting that part was shaved off.
Which may have been true on some guns, but if you do that the gun won't fire, the hammer spring sits in there.

I'm surprised that you can't see the 870 sticking out the back end of the SPAS cage. I've got a deac 870 in my real SPAS positioned exactly as in the pic and it protrudes about 1/4" - I had to saw the top 'arch' area off to allow the Thomp mag to go past.

Alright, it has been more than ten years since this was first posted, but it seems the "other" Bapty prints are nowhere to be found.
A few prints of the left-hand side of the Pulse Rifle were once sold and I was lucky enough to get one, but unfortunately I lost it during moving.

Does anyone know who owns these? I am VERY interested in getting a print of these (all four of them), and I would pay good money for it!

So... any input appreciated! I know it is great to own an original piece of history, but I am sure that a LOT of people would appreciate getting a print of those images, and it's not like the originals will lose their value...

Cheers!
Roman
