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!

Until landing a vintage grip, I'm going with the Wired Workshop plans.

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=19815

PLA printed with different colors to resemble some of the original parts.
Had to sand the inside pretty well to keep some of the moving parts from binding, but afterward it works well.

I built one. I had to add a couple of screws to make sure it stays together better. There is another forum thread on this. And yes it works. refilling is annoying but doable...

Very cool! I notice that there are a few [read: hundreds] of those little butane torches avaible, I'd assume that for this 3d model that it requires a torch with the angled nozzle, yeah (as opposed to the dead horizontal nozzled ones)?

This is the style of torch needed.
The same model is listed under different brand names, but are identical.

The torch needs to match whatever the housing was built for.
