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. So I started making uniform and weapons. For starters, I have two problems.

1. Do you remove this buckle?

2. I can't decide if A or B. A has such a red thread on the edge, won't it be in the way?

That is a great pouch! What brand is that?
My opinion is to remove the buckle and vertical webbing. It is such an easy adjustment for better accuracy. Simply slide a razor blade behind the vertical strap to get at the threads and remove it all nice and clean.

As for the bottom bits, I do like 'A' better. If the red bothers you too much, you could probably just hit the edge with olive drab spray paint and no one would ever know it was there.

Here you have everything in the photos.
Removal will not be a problem. I put cardboard inside. Ultimately, I will use a plastic stiffener.

I think I also like A better :)

price for one 8, 36 USD

The screen used ones had foam in, might be a better option in case you squash them :)

Most of my Airsoft stuff is Mil-Tec, good kit!

My first set of armour straps were made from US Alice suspenders (which look very similar to you "A" option. Personally, although my 1st straps don't look screen accurate, I actually prefer them to my 2nd SA set of straps, as they look more "real world military"

In regards to the red thread on "A", could carefully hit em with black permanent marker.

Uniform for the moment. Ultimately, I want to complete the Polish Desert uniform as required in PLCM. And as you can see in the picture, I have a serious problem with my shoes :) I am wearing EU 49/50 size. I cannot find the required US. The only ones that fit me right now are those in the photo. Maybe someone knows where to get big size us jungle boots?

You can get Mil-Tec Olive US Jungle Boots up to a UK 13 but I don't think that's big enough

Vasquez in the movie wore plain black boots as they couldn't get a jungle boot small enough for the actress so I don't so why you can't use a plain black for the same reason, only bigger :)

Plane black boots also worn by Gorman, the drop ship crew, and Dietrich. Plain black would be perfectly suitable.

The French model ends up being too small. The French have little feet :)

I found such jungle only black. Could there be a black option? I wish I had the closest to the movie.
