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 have seen, relatively recently, a few nice Motion Trackers, show as build threads and/or sale threads.
If I might show mine as well, as I just finished building today.
As with the other threads, not much of a written description necessary.
Just some photos along the way, and the result.


Started with a nice working Kango:

I had one of those Casio calculators back in the day. It was like a flip phone, when those first came out.

Very inspiring and good job!

I need to find a modern close match in model. They are out there. Any differences could be addressed with bondo, sanding, and paint.

Can now replace the last pieces.
Swap the resin cast Remote, and add the correct Jack plug.

Great find! You must be so excited! Thanks for helping me out with the pump widget. I can’t wait to finish ours.

I’m jelly of the nice clean drill. *drools*
