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 want to thanks my Brother who done a amazing job with rivets and nylon straps and took so much time on his soooo long job's shift (wake up at 4th in the morning and back home at 19hrs, driving trucks and cranes, supplying plants)- HOURRAY FOR F. :mrgreen:
Having zero skills with tools and a unluck relation with hammer or everythings who could cut, hurt or burn :oops: :lol: :? i ve done the paint and share idea on how allowed the armor to be pack, flighable and wearable, using more fastex, ab plate harness and so on.
So while he's skinny (watching me), 6 feet tall for 194 Pounds instead of me, 5.8 Feets for 218 Pounds, he looks to have a armor not taylored for him, which it is true but he desserve the first pic of the final product.
Unfortunately, the helmet won't be finish (in fact start except paint), lack of time, not sure of helmet net band solution, it is MAA Hicks molded resin one Gen1. I ve had the project to used a real US M1 Steel Pot made for NATO Country but same lack of time.
So will be Bush Hat like last year.
Hell this year will have Jungle Boots :delta: :mrgreen:

Sorry for the poor quality pic, took yesterday at night, 22Hrs, everyone was tired and sister in law monitor all to wait time to kick my fat ass out of her way and allowed her husband to sleep... :wink:

That's why i like my brother.

Now just to paint the rivet to blend in the camo and add Graffitis

NOTA : i realize watching the pic, that his work trousers got the same cargo pocket positions as our BDU's so a bit LEO's look 8)

Looking forward to seeing you in armour this year Christophe!

I know what it is like to be doing things right up to the last minute and run out of time. Ripstick put his custom metal armour together in (I think) 48hrs before the parade in '06.

Hell some members can be found still working on their costumes in their hotel rooms at the convention!

See you soon!

Kevin
