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!

Where can I find one of those yummy kits? I've searched around, no luck yet.

Also if any of the other bugs can give me an outlook on pricing, that would help a ton!
Thanks

Hey P.

The guy I got my one from is Jay Boden "monsterroom". His address is monsterroomprops (the symbol normally in email addresses) msn.com

The price is about $800 US plus shipping.

You can see the raw parts here: http://www.aliencostume.co.uk/construction/kit_images/index.shtml and the rest of my website has an incomplete account of how to build it.

Jez's website is another excellent resource for this kit: http://www.aqpa87.dsl.pipex.com/scifihelmets/building_an_aliens_costume.htm

Hey there,

Jay Boden is the main man for these kits! They are truely awesome! Although they need alot of hard work and dedication, they are worth every penny!

It took me just over 3months to build mine. Then painting it took another few days ontop of that.

I HIGHLY recommend Pug AND Jez website for hints ans tips! It helped me prepare for what to expect!

Keep us posted on your progress!

Its soooo GOOD to see more Xeno's on here!!!


Bri :D

Yup . . . monsterroom was where I got my bug kit and I used Pug's site a lot when we were putting my 'modeling' kit [ha ha] together. Mine was over a full body suit I bought off of eBay - the type used for cosplay suits.

Jay was great to work with. I pointed out that I hadn't received the complete kit (missing pieces for my suit) and he sent them along promptly with free shipping.

Lots of good help here P-bot!

So, here is the deal, one of the guys on here gave me a GREAT idea, to do the girl from the comic with the predator-based costume. very sexy, and a lot less complicated.

Now, this does NOT mean I'm giving up the bug.. ha
That will be a long term project, I'd like to spend a great deal of time on it so it comes out just right.

Still worth talking to Jay, as he does some nice Predator pieces, too
