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 need shots (screen or personal) of the Terry English greaves for Hicks. In repainting, I am trying to get as close as humanly possible to the exact camo pattern and have every other armor piece covered except the leg armor patterns.

Yep. One of the very first places I checked. Unless I missed it, didn't see Hicks greaves. He's got other guys armor, but for Hicks it's just the shotty.

Hicks (and everyone else) had three sets of armor with different camo patterns. If you watch them movie carefully you can see it change from scene to scene. I have a set of TE Hicks armor that I can take pictures of if you like but it’s not exactly screen accurate.

Thanks, that would be so awesome. I'm just trying to get something as close as possible to accompany the link below. I'll take anything I can get my hands on. It doesn't have to be perfect, but I'd love to try my best. Regardless, I'll be thrilled.

The set in the pictures is a TE, but it's not accurate to the movie. The shoulder bands are odly shaped and too long (I know they are drawn to the front) and the torso armor has a raised area at the left shoulder that shouldn't be there. There might be other things, but this is what I spotted on the first look.

Cheers,
Stefan

Yeah, I'm using that as a paint example because I like the camo patterns/layout of the colors. I don't have that exact armor either so the patterns won't directly transfer, but my goal is to get very close working with what I have. I also really like my Spat armor build so with this paint job, I get the best of both worlds.

That’s my inaccurate oddly shaped P.O.S armor.

Sorry Griefboy,

I didn't intend to offend you - it's just that there aren't any movie accurate TE replicas (at least that I know of). Some have an additional "step" in the leg armor, some are missing the upper "bump" of the groin armor, ... the list goes on.

Your armor is surely something to be proud of, but compare it with a screen used one and you'll see the differences.

Cheers,
Stefan

Griefboy,

If you'd rather email them than post them, my email is tk_9163@yahoo.com. Thanks for your help bro.

Man, with all help I'm getting from the members on these boards, I'm going to be buying a lot of beer at DragonCon.:shock:
