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!

Sometimes you just have to be lucky :D

When I got the package I thought "What the f*** did they do to this poor headset!" as the package was no more than 3 cm thick! :shock:

Luckily the headset was build to be folded up! :)

Cheers,
Stefan

That's a hard question!
The originals were painted Brown Bess. However, the color doesn't stick very well as there are a lot of flexible parts and/or parts that slide on each other. So after a few hours of use it might look like the one on Harry's site - accurate to the screen used prop but not too nice in my opinion. :roll:

Cheers,
Stefan

Nice find Stefan!:D

Are you going to leave it as is, or will you paint it the correct colour?

I know, that's a tough decision.:roll:

I would probably leave it alone. I would be too worried that I would muck it up with the paintjob. Besides, you probably want to handle it, and put it on once in a blue moon. With Brown Bess paint you won't be able to touch it afterward.;)
