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!

That is great! That looks to be a set of Chef'sarmour, yes?

The Hudson look (but with your own personalizations) is cool. Great paint job and weathering too! One littke detail tha would be easy to add would be a white pinstripe along the edge of the grenade caps.

Son of a bitch! Recent reports have all said Beihn wouldn't come anywhere near Colonial Marines for a photo op. I guess either Blomkamp's dangled carrot has changed his mind or (and this is what I think) you guys were just too badass!!!

Thanks man :)

I can't stop looking at it!

He was brilliant. Very gracious and friendly. This particular photo was a gift from him - we all had individual photos taken, but he beckoned us all back for a group shot.
We thought he wanted it for his Facebook page or something, but then the photographers handed us a copy each.... "That's from Mr Beihn" they said.

I won't lie - I teared up.

I've worked so hard on this costume, and dropped almost 30lbs in weight specifically to look as good as I could for the photo - so it tipped me over the edge.
I was so happy :)

You three look supremely cool. As a side note this photo once again proves how good Polish camo looks, even beside the SA suff.
