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 ordered 6 bottles way back then and I did receive them. I think I sent 2 to a friend with 3 motion trackers but if in a pinch I can try dig out the others and send you each one, Greg, TS826 and Seven?

I have no means of using them/testing, I just got them to send with my props I'm having various people build for me.

Let me know

Moosh,

I am good as I got a shipping response today. I will let you know when I receive them later this week. Terran sent me a color chip of real BB so I will compare. Here is the link I ordered from. The original is dead but if you search you get this one.

What did you think of the color on the finished props?

Thanks!

Greg

I haven't got my props done yet (it's a good friend though and I haven't given her the go ahead to officially start yet, we're planning to cast the items and she's practicing moulding/casting)

Paint has arrived. I am doing my grenade box now. I did a quick and dirty Ripley disk with a brush. Disk was blue so I did 2 coats.

Now I cannot find my color chip of original BB. Separate thread after I finish the box. I compared the disk to my flamer and the color was dead on. Once I locate the BB color chip I will post comparison pics.

Thanks!

Greg

The color looks good, comparison pics next week, but it is not airbrush ready. It constantly clogged my airbrush. I will try a different airbrush once I find my old one and use some airbrush flow drops. It also separates easily in the container and constantly needs to be mixed. Again this is just my first impressions. I also got 2 different production dates on my bottles ordered, 8/29/18 and 6/20/19, but this was not unexpected as I was concerned they would be older.. The bottle I used on my grenade box is the older one so I will try the newer one tomorrow. Jury is still out as I like the color but hate the application.

Thanks!

Greg
