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!

-MAA USCM 2nd pattern BDUs
-Sew on Patches (Okay supposed to be print, will be a next purchase, when i will found a saler, but while my BDU is not in the accurte cloth, i am not "canon" but i like this way :twisted: )
-WW2 US Flag Armband (have to re-find the good one in size and with white brim)
Talking of that, the more i watch the Movie's one on costume like on flightsuit but is it me or the size is not the one of Today US ARMED FORCES ' BDU's one, neither the other and bigger model, not also the WW2 one, so WTF? :? any idea of the measure/size?

Very nice!

I couldn't decide whether to get embroidered name tapes or try and find some plain tape to write it on myself but after seeing these I think I might go for the sewn ones.

It's the same as the patches every one knows the silk screened patches are accurate but embroidered look so much more 'real'

NOTA : watch the sewing quality of the USCM Tape, i ve do some "paintshop" on my nametape for PERSEC so quality showed could look strange, in fact the Nametape is of the same quality of the USCM one.
It will be hard for me in France to get, "blank" tape cause here Army sew directly on Velcro or on Camo cloth and after on velcro, i am enable to find the US ARMED FORCES like tape quality :oops:
that's why 1800N....

They look great! My nametapes are done with a Sharpie marker. It's supposed to be waterproof and permanent.

It isn't. Trust me. :lol:

So about 3 or 4 years ago I decided to try and sew my own nametape. This is how far I got...

:lol:


I might just go with the place you mentioned. What should I ask for?

They have excellent, quick service.

Probably no need for a group order since the cost is around

85 cents each.

Dom already had a source for screen accurate nametape, I had mine done last year with a group buy of his.

I might be wrong by thinking it was done at camotech.

Yep, already knows and been customer, Camotech peoples and works are amazing, unfortunately, very busy people, victims of their own success, perhaps an order won't reach us in time for this summer... :cry:

Yeah, that's the source... Check it out here. I can't recall if I found those guys or if someone else did...

Be sure to specify "U.S.C.M." for your nametape, as opposed to "USCM"

Yep, I used camotech as well. Had them do a order a couple months back. Took about 2 weeks to answer and another 3 weeks or so for the tape. I wasn't in any hurry, so didn't have a problem with it.

I was briefly in contact with Camotech. They took my bulk order for the B/3-7 squad, answered some questions and told me they won't take payment until the order was completed, which would take two weeks to complete. I gave them a month and contacted them again, three times, have heard nothing back since. :?

Was her name Linda? That is who I was emailing.

We've already waited close to two months for name tape so, we will adapt and overcome. :wink:

The bulk order I did for us Brits some time ago was from Camotech and I found them (Linda) to be very helpful and the turn around time was fairly good as I recall.

I believe it was someone over on the Scifimilitary board that first pointed this particular company out as a source for the tapes.

Cheers

Darren

Camotech is too busy. I've had a few chats with Linda, and

she is a really nice person.

Basically they are swamped with military orders (1st priority).

She basically told me to order tapes through 1800nametape.


I'm still keeping my multicam flag orders with her, but it has been

delayed since January.
