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!

Just out of interest really as I'm thinking of colonial marine-ifying an existing green jacket I have my adding a few CMC patches etc. Nothing "screen accurate" or anything, just a bit of fun that other fans might notice but isn't too "in your face" as I do wear the jacket daily suring the summer.

I can easily source all the patches I'd want except I don't seem to be able to find any place to get a custom name patch!

I'm sure I've seen them online but cant for the life of me find them now. The one I saw (I think) was like a 1" wide piece of green fabric with the name embroidered in to it (with the correct font)...

Any suggestions? I'm sure it's a simple fine if you know where to look! :oops:

There are a couple of threads here with details of suppliers.

However, SA ones are in fact easier - You just write the name on a blank tape with a black marker!! ;)

Like on mine:

I used a black permanent marker, printing off the letters in the right sized font on a bit of paper so I had a guide to look at for spacing and shape as I wrote each letter. :)

After every wash of the jacket I have to just go over the letters again as they do fade a little.

You're more than welcome Tyger!

And for the stencil or sticker for your armor and back of helmet, you can contact Mike Rush on this board. He does SUPERB work!! I've ordered several sets from him and plan on ordering another set!

I had my nametapes done by http://www.1800nametape.com . I had to provide them with the USCM font, but they turned out great!

One thing to be sure to ask for- make sure the font is 1/2" height. I think the standard is 3/4"? Anyway it looks wonky if it is larger than 1/2".
