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!

Ohh THAT'S what you were...a Meathead :lol:
OMG Dom, you are like hardcore EU
Definitely see a mix of today's CF meatheads and USCM in this costume. I think I like your drill Sargent uniform better. My 2 cents.

It's a pretty darn cool lookin' dress uni- It's got great visual appeal, I saw lots of folks go "Whoa, who dat?!" when Dom and Frank were wearing the unis.

"Meathead"...hadn't heard that one before! Yeah Mike my friend, it may be EU, but whether it's EU Colonial Marines or Star Wars, it just adds to not only the mythos, but the fun, and that's what's it's all about. :mrgreen:

And yeah, I'm thinking of doing this uniform... :delta: :delta: Right now I'm working on a USCM Dress Blues, but I love to use creativity and come up with something that could have been screen used, it looks that cool. While I enjoy doing a uber screen accurate Colonial Marine or Boba Fett or Stargate, I enjoy just as much coming up with a variant, such as a USCM Dress Blues or MP, or a custom Mandalorian (Boba Fett's clan / armor type) It's just increases my fun factor.

I thought these guys looked pretty darn cool-

And these guys and gal, I thought it was brilliant- Steampunk Colonial Marines

While I like to see screen accurate camo used, etc. Sometimes ya just gotta think outside the box! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :delta: :delta:

That's a great uniform Sgt Beaudoin, very cool, very believable. Love the steam punk ones too.

Looking cool Dom and Frank. 8)

What about Mandarin collars on them, which seems to be the unifying style of SU uniforms?

I talked to Frank about that... that may be the next step for this costume.

Loved the MP stuff, guys... You looked fantastic!

Although, growing up on and around an Army Post, all I can ever think of is the Mother's Day when my mom got a speeding ticket from an MP. :mrgreen:

Great stuff. Love to see creative costume riffing on a theme like that.
