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!

... is the working title of a mini doc about Terry and some of his work.
Last week Harry, Malika from the National Space Centre and I went to
film Terry at his residence in Cornwall for a couple of days.

I would like to thank Harry for a great job with the lights (and great sense of humour!),
and Alien Queen Malika for making it all happen. :D

We were lucky enough to see many of Terry's original works, including
stuff from Aliens and Alien 3. Such as the prototype armour breast
plate and camo pattern and the trooper mask for David Fincher.

I'll post some video stills as I progress with the edit of anything you
guys might find interesting. In the meantime here's a few r'n'r pics
from the shoot.

Cheers,
Ann Drew

Three phases of the breast armour, from right to left: single ali sheet; sculpted; painted.
On the wall notice a drawing of an armoured pig mask Terry made :lol:

That's my breakfast and just to make it worse Tony it was GOOOOOD!!!

Spoke to Terry this morning and he has offered to loan me the prototype USCM with original paint job for the exhibition along with Cameron's notes on changes to made to get to what you see today (and wear!)

He is also coming down for the weekend with some extra special goodies, so have your wallets ready boys, I promise you that if he has time to make enough you will ALL want one!

I have put him on a table with those of you who have booked to come along to the meal on the Saturday and he is looking forward to a few noodles with a side of Whiskey and Ginger on Friday.
