| Post subject: | Terry English Armour (Part I) |
StevieRad said on 10/25/01: Well it finally arrived. Some sad events surrounding its arrival...so I have not fully freaked out over it. I will....eventually. Hand made by Terry English himself. Aluminum. Real M1 helmet with infra red eyesight. The best thing is...Terry took over 50 pics documenting its construction. A signed 2 page letter and set phots of Hudson that Terry took all came with the armor. It is amazing. Very light and comfortable.......it rocks!!! Steve The lamp, grenades and Gerber did not come with the armor. |

The style and design of the Dietrich armour is the same, it's just a little smaller. Regards, Harry Harris. ------------------------------------------------------------ Faramir66103 wrote on 11/27/00 : Edit: Hehe, it looks like Harry beat me to it. Each actors armor was hand formed by Mr. English to fit them. Clearly an aluminum chest plate built for the rather big, masculine chest of Bill Paxton wouldn't fit the smaller, feminine chest of Cynthia Scott who played Dietrich or vice versa. Comparing the Dietrich armor pics on Harry's site, especially this one www.encom.demon.co.uk/dcside.htm with the ones of Crowe at Alien's Archive aliensarchive.tripod.com/aliens/crowe/bodyarmour.html it seems to me that the women's armor is more convex in the front and perhaps more narrow at the waist. Other than that, I can't see any other differences. HTH, Adam Jacob "Faramir" adamjacob@mac.com ICQ 47024895 "SoundGoat" When you are out of Pulse Rifles, you are out of Weapons! |

| Post subject: | Terry English armour, the Terran Trader connection |
Armourer said on 9/29/00 : The Terran Trader armour is made from glassfibre not resin. It is pulled from moulds taken from a set of Terry English marine armour that was custom made for Terran Trader's Norman Brown. Out of all of TT's products, the armour is probably their best product. (Of course this is excluding the VP70, which myself and a number of UK based colletors believe was cast for Norman by a second party.) I saw Norman's first layups of the armour in 1998 at an exhibition at the NEC in the UK. They didn't look too bad. I can't honestly say what they are like now, though. regards Armourer When you are out of Pulse Rifles, you are out of Weapons! |

StevieRad said on 08/03/03 : I have been meaning to do this for some time now. As many of you know, I have a set of Colonial Marine armor built by Terry English. The following are pictures taken while Terry was building and painting the armor. I hope you enjoy them. I know I do.
