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!

An area I have never really delved into but how much do we know about the original shrouds for the production Pulse Rifles? From what I can gather (?) they were made by a Maurice (Mo) Gomm who specialises in panel metalwork… is this correct?

Yeah, Maurice Gomm was a big F1 designer - he made the PR shrouds, some colony dressing, Dropship cladding, and Sentry Gun housing...

glad you delved! Searching that name has zero hits on this site (aside from this post), but he seems to be quite well known as "panel beater extraordinaire" to the rest of the world in auto work. I never knew. (but am now glad I do)
