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 honestly hadn't planned on it, but I was at a great Army Surplus store and came away with a bag of goodies, including a repro M65.

It still needs all the mods and patches, but this is where I'm at right now:

My Service C uniform still has the name Nielsen on it from my video project, so I think I will put the same on here. Honestly this is more of a "loaner" costume for me anyhow, in case anyone about my size wants to join me on a drop. This would be a pretty painless way to get another Marine in gear quickly!

At that same store I finally found a brown t-shirt that looks SA to me for a Ground Pounder. Not that big a deal, but one more little detail sorted.

Thanks Lifer!

I'm mostly just stealing from SimonT's recent thread:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15892

(And Bigbisont's before that).

Looking good :)

Incidentally, should be getting my new, screen accurate, BDUs within the next couple of weeks (all being well), so will update my thread in the near future!

Def cool. Nifty to find white border patches at an actual store too. I always have to go online.

The patches still aren't quite big enough though, Gorman's coat flag looks huge!
