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!

I'm not very active on here much these days but thought this one was worth posting and some of you would appreciate seeing it.
I've recently finished (well very nearly) a full metal Airsoft pulse rifle with aluminium shrouds. It's been something I've been working on for nearly two years on and off but now it's finished and all come together it's been totally worth every minute!

Parts used:
-WE Tech/cybergun gas blowback Airsoft Thompson m1a1
-APS cam870 gas shell ejecting shotgun
-Genuine spas 12 CAGE and pump grip
-Genuine Thompson m1a1 wood grip
-Metal upgrade barrel for the Thompson
-Matsuo 10 hole barrel vent and stock
-Noble sling
-SD studios grenade launcher block
-Majenko counter with movie mode 95 & Airsoft mode 30, for 30 round bb mags
-airbrushed in SMS blaster brown

Well it was two years on and off, with quite alot of off! But you know what projects can get like, sometimes you just have to put them down and walk way from for a while untill you feel like tackling them again.

Thanks for the comments to those that could be bothered! :D

Impressive collection too, great room, aliens, proton pack, lots of goodies!
Might need a new bulb though; emergency lighting has kicked in ;)

Love it! As I already posted on Facebook, if I had the patience and the talent, handmade aluminum shrouds would be the way to go! Lacking both and having a set of HCG aluminum shrouds, I‘ll go that route, for now… ;-)

BTW, I love the SMS Blaster Brown on your rifle. Still thinking about what I‘ll use on mine.

Cheers!
