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!

Having checked through the Archives on this subject. A quick question. Would it be possible to add paint to Olive Drab to give it a Brown bess colour. I'm using Humbrol, and only asking on the off chance that there may be a paint I could add to get the right colour. "It looks so close on the lid" :lol: :roll:

As noted in the archive Humbrol 170 thread, just buy Revell 046 Nato Olive Matt, as it's a really close match to Brown Bess.

We could all go Brown Bess and just hand out olive tinted glasses to each and every person in the parade so we'll look screen accurate. Totally worth the cost of like 5,000 pairs of specialty glasses. Totally :lol:
