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 got a brand new airsoft mask for x-mas and i decided to paint it in the CM armor colors....and then thought, why not add my service number to it as well. here is my dilemma, i want one of those metal strips that are on military gear with my service number on it but i don't even know what they are called, let alone to even find where to get made.

anyone think they can help out?

I believe the term you are looking for is (Data Plate)

Aah, like the one someone (Derrick Baena?) did for the side of a Pulse Rifle?

That's even a decal set with that for cases if you want to have your pulse rifle stored. I have a set of those when I pack my rifle away for when I head to any cons.

I print them on transparent sticky label, then I stick those to foil tape. Low rent solution but I like it.

BTW Foil tape is the stuff in the hardware store used for sealing duct work, usually in the ductwork/sheet metal aisle of the hardware store.

Trophy shops and custom engravers would be a good place to look for this. They can print directly onto thin metal label plates. Marcell has done similar projects.

You can also go to a trophy shop, they can stamp one out for you.
