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!

Been a helluva long run battling these leg problems and depression (8 years) so Tuesday the right leg comes off below the knee. All because of a neglected cut on my foot. Actually looking forward to it. I can catch up on some hobby stuff now.

Later days, better lays.

It should grow back pretty quick too right?

Seriously though it’s good to hear you’re keeping positive. Are you going to have a prosthetic fitted eventually?

Has to heal and swelling has to go down, but yes there is a prosthetic but no time soon. I am completely broke.

But what the hell, I can be the worlds only one legged anorexia survivor, right?

As I told my (then) fiancee; "Look at it this way, once you can get the prosthetic? a few turns of an allen wrench & you can break your foot off in someone's ass."

Seriously though, glad to see you back. :delta:

Maybe we could make a nice looking prosthetic for a convention costume, faux acid damaged limb?

And great to have you back!

Sorry to have been gone. Depression and health brought me down. Should of amputated it sooner. I feel so much better.

Awesome idea!

Here's a chart I made awhile back

Note that the final armour was weathered with a dark wash so the colours appeared darker.

Did you mean the BDU Camo pattern? I will admit I would LOVE to see something paint up like that. May have to become a "thing" worthy of focusing on.

If you meant Armor pattern, then of course amazing chart Moosh.
