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!

With respect, There are plenty of references on google. Is there a specific design you are looking for?

i dont believe there are any known patterns for uscm bdu soecifically, but if you look at the screen used ines, they are all a little different, theyre also very slim through the thick area on some, that gives them a much better tailored look. Hicks were a little more baggy. I think uscm look better with the slimmer ones, then they dont blouse over the armor.

Hicks may have been baggy as James Remar was fired and replaced with Michael

I have a seamstress, who used to work in the costume dept of the the Vienna Opera House who made a set of patterns from my MAA 3 pat. She's back in Austria at the moment, visiting her parents. I'll see if I can get a more definite timescale to get them digitised.

What size of material do you have.? If it's got multiple repeats, Is it possible to get it scanned at high resolution from a print shop?
