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!

Thank you for the photo's of the "interesting Life forms" from the other world's 8) . I definately think that evaluation by USCM medical is definately in order here :wink: . Congradulations to all the awardee's...and it looks like a Fantastic time was had by all. I'll bet that if an enterprising group could come up with "mobile liver dialysis units" :mrgreen: or even an "IV/oxygen" bar at DCON....they would make a fortune... :lol:


Safe trip Back....

Thanks Harry and PVB...It totally blew me away. I wasn't expecting that at all.

It's an honor to be a part of this group, although I did take some time away from Aliens costuming this year..I needed a little rest...9 years of it is a long time, and I hope to finish up some long awaited projects for next year :mrgreen:

Don't have many pictures myself (my phone is the only camera I own at the moment) but I think girlspectre will have a few she can post before too much longer. Can't wait to see the footage from the SunTrust Building shoot!

Thank you so much! It is a fantastic honor to join the ranks of the AL Gold Wings!! To say I was stunned and proud at the same time is an understatement!

There were soooo many things for the Colonial Marines this year- Thurs night's 1st annual Meet n Greet, the Friday Morning Blood Drive (which I was late for! Aack!) the Parade, the Sun Trust photo shoot-which I directed to become a video comic book. Our videographer was a no show (don't know what happened, it was a GO when I talked to her the night before) but we fell back on the original plan- the storyline is a rescue mission- USCM HQ has lost contact with a unit at a Weyland-Yutani facility. Last message received was from a Dropship Pilot - "We are being overrun- they are coming..." Two squads of Marines landed, fought their way through the facility, overcoming a horde of the sneaky Xenomorphs, rescuing the valiant pilot and emerging victorious, though not without casualites. The WY Tech was a very good sport, being wounded and unable to care for him, as the xenos were going to overrun the position, was mercifully shot by the dropship pilot...

I'd like to thank our cast for working so hard, enduring re-takes, and just plain coming through! From Rob wading through the waters, to Abe and Kerneos being put into back straining positions, climbing walls, it was a lot of fun. We had quite the crowd watching the climatic final scene, as the dropship pilot prepares to sell her life dearly, taking as many xenomorphs with her as possible. Then, the decimated two squads re-unite and in a blaze of gunfire, rush the alien horde and rescue the pilot!!

There were many cameras used- both still and video. We need to collect them, sort through the pics and put them in some type of cohesive order. :mrgreen: Then add some special effects, gunfire, bloodspurts, etc.

A volunteer for the Special Effects would be outstanding! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :delta: :delta:


The dinner was outstanding. Good times, great camaradarie! From an outstanding choice of Rob Slater (Tarim-Rex) of Most Valuable Marine, putting together the Maryland Marines website, to being the Weaponsmaster for the UKCM at DragonCon, it was an well deserved honor.

Then Derek and I were stunned by the AL Gold Wings Award. What can I say? Thank You.

I also sent you 2 "slaps to the back of the head" via 2 separate UKCM agents! :twisted: Did they both fail to deliver? :roll:

Seriously mate well done and congratulations to all award recipients!

We're long overdue for another session with us both on the same side of the Atlantic, but isn't it time you played an away game! ;)

How much were you over?

Could some of us with lighter loads take some/all of it?

I like the Colony sweep pics with the bugs! Since there are no civilians in there you could photoshop them a bit to make them look a little cinematic. Good work!
