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 had intended to go to exewing in june, however due to a loss of manpower I had to stay at the tankfest at Bovington tank museum doing a Vietnam period display with an M113 APC for them.
At least it still involved an M1 helmet and jungle boots!!

here are a couple of pics

I was lucky enough to drive an M113 at the cobbatton combat collections site, it had the anti-mine control mod so I had to sit on the roof. Friggin awesome for a 15yr old!

Very cool pics Gunny, you 9th infantry guys always look straight out of a film (in a good way!)
