Yeah,nothing like the first time seeing alien,I was six,my parents could'nt find a babysitter I had to go,granted it was'nt as scary as seeing the first halloween,but close enough.I spent most of the scary scenes with my hands over my eyes but I remember.And when aliens came out ,that's all it took,I wish they would re release both in 3D that would rock, sad ,they don't make movies like that anymore.

Welcome to the Forum Marines! We look forward to sharing thoughts with you about the films and helping you gear up!

Man,I have spent the last year gearing up,researching,everything.By now I should have a PHD in the colonial marines.But so far everyone has been great,very helpful.THE quality and workmanship in some of the gear I've found is remarkable,all I have left is my armor and pr,then it's off to my first dragoncon. thanks for the welcome

Hello all,
My name is Don and Im from Myrtle Beach,SC. My children have become obsessed with cosplay and have passed the bug onto me. They asked me what I would want to go as and at the top of a short list was a Colonial Marine. Ive been a sci-fi fan all of my life and one of my favorite movies was Aliens. Being ex-army and an gun collector, having a M41A in my collection will top it off nicely. I hope to meet some of you at future events. There are not many events in SC but we do have a small one called X-con here at the beach. I am currently on work assignment in El Salvador and home for short visits. I have a ton of time on my hands here and hope to build most of my costume here, then ship it home. Wish me luck!

Hi All.

I'm chris and have been a fan of the Alien movies for years, my particular favorite is Aliens.

I have played airsoft for many years and have always wanted a pulse rifile ever since I first some them some 6 - 7 years ago i think but they had a price tag of £1000 - £1500 bit out of my price range.

However finaly this weekend I built my G&P kit that I got last week into the gun I've always wanted

So whats next a sentry gun me thinks, I've seen them on youtube so they can be made to work.

See you all around

Chris

Hey everyone,

My name is Jason and I'll be trolling around the boards to research Colonial Marine costumes. Currently, I've worked on just Star Wars costumes- Count Dooku, Biker Scout, Captain Antilles and most recently, Chewbacca- so venturing out to a new genre should be fun.

Thanks!

Jason

Hello,
I met my local CM group, B/3-7 when I moved to Maryland almost a year ago and joined their forums. I'm only now getting around to joining here. I would like to make a colonist costume and I'm playing with the idea of making a heavy weapons CM costume. I have several other movie and TV costumes but I'm always looking to expand into new areas of costuming fun.

Thanks
-Richard

Greetings Just found this place and thought I'd sign up! I've been a fan for longer than I care to remember saw Aliens when it came out in '86 and Alien on TV before that! Interests in both full size and 1/6th scale Marines. Aliens also got me into other "Grunts in Space" movies like Starship Troopers, DOOM, Stargate etc

I suppose the next thing I should do is request a serial number and find myself a cool and more importantly unique avatar!

hey everyone, ive been directed to this site by the Maryland USCM's my name is Seth, i am soon to turn 19, i have enlited in the US Army, and i am aslo a huge "Grunts in Space" fanatic.... nothing better than some gutt ripping monsters againts some human cannon fodder. i sort of have experience with costuming, ive tried pepekura for halo costumes but failed misrably... maybe this will be my cup of tea, im going to try for a USCM costume, nothing personalized just a generic marine.

Hello fellow xeno snacks . . . errr . . . recruits.

My name is simply Rob aka Maphisto86. Or just "the new kid" . . . whichever you prefer.
Long time Aliens and Predator fan and I just thought I would join this nifty outfit. I will try to swing by as often as possible but I am a drifter so if I don't come by for months on end only to be found covered in slime and attatched to the bulkheads again, don't worry.

I think he sees us Marines as the Alien equivalent of magnetic letters on a fridge door

Hello all, my name's Terry and I'm an "Aliens" addict.

Actually I'm a fairly big fan of most things sci-fi. I joined the 501st Legion over two years ago just to give me an excuse to walk around in stormtrooper armor (as well as see all the kids' faces light up), and after that I promised myself that I would turn my attention to working on putting together a colonial marine outfit. Well, after a 1+ year side-track on another Star Wars armor project, I'm finally ready to get the marine lock & loaded. I'm looking forward to researching and getting to know everyone here.

Oh, and here's the project that kept me from starting my marine earlier:


Not trying to push another genre on anyone. It's just that this kit took up so much of my time that I'm proud to show it off!

yeah but whos better, betty rubble or whilma flintstone?
