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!

Just finished assembling my spat welder. I'd like to come up with some sort of hook system to attach it on my belt though.

Mike, I just traded my welder away, do you want my holder? It's OD webbing and black quick release clips.

EDIT mine is like the one in that last thread except all OD strapping.

Paracord is certainly the most screen accurate way, but it leaves the welder swinging like a wrecking ball...

I've only ever used paracord, done a few drops now including 'active' ones and never had a problem!

I'm not really sure about paracord length, though, any advice from you guys?
It's bound to bang into my crotch plate for sure.
