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!

Got all the parts dry fitted this afternoon. Getting ready for paint. It's going to end up for sale in the JY or ebay immediately after. What I would like to know is the most 'desirable' finish to apply to it. It can be dressed out in a Brown Bess substitute, Military OD (I've got an extra sling to match this), WY corporate two tone black (which is VERY cool), or stick with the arctic camo theme that's going on here... Heavily weathered or not, it makes no difference to me. I was even considering a paint scheme that resembles Eddie Van Halen's guitar (shroud only)...

This is a fairly nice costume or display piece and is very upgradable. Please let me know what you think would work the best. Thanks in advance for your time & feedback!! :)

Horrible
Horrendous
Ugly
Infact I'm so offended by it I'll take it off of your hands no charge for disposal!!;)

All joking aside (unless you really need it gotten rid of) that is BEAUTIFUL!!

Prop Party in Ft Worth yesterday I was toying with a PR made of all the gun parts - MAN THAT WAS SWEET!!!
Trade for my PR?

OK, on topic.
I'd say traditional BB but to custom in the way you are stating.....why not sell as is and let the buyer request the paintjob?

Thanks, Tony. Yeah, this one has to go. Sorry I missed that FW prop party. Although, I really wanted to go, there was no way to make it this year. Ugh!! That must have been an SD that you got to handle. Those are sweet!! :D

Thanks so much for the feedback on this fellas. Nickatron, unless I've misread an earlier post, you have dibs on it, bud. No commitment to buy, though.

Hi Tom,

I would go with OD or BB variant.

That will help your sale.

Looks very niceza!

<span style="font-size:x-small;]My only suggestion would be using a
thinner metal on the cross plates and lower profile screws.

Thanks for the feedback, fellas. PM's returned. Outcry27, I can't figure out how to get a message to you from here. Can you send me one?

Tony, I'll mark it on my calandar. I've got some friends in OKC that I've not seen in some time. That's all the more reason to go. ...and, if you are ready to drop $3K for a PR, please don't hesitate to lemme know. In comparison, THIS one will seem like a REAL bargain. HA! :D

Sounds good to me. :)

Found this while doing some research on the EVH 'style' patterns...

Quote:
Quote:In 2001/2002, Eddie came down hard on anyone utilizing the "stripes" pattern. The first people he went after were those making replica guitars...I am sure he did this in preparation for making the striped Peaveys then the custom Charvels. I had a website dedicated to VH at the time and I had EVH's lawyers on my case until I signed a contract. I still have it around somewhere...I had to agree to put trademark symbols on all the designs EVH said were his (any striped patterns regardless of color)...I had to agree not to sell anything on my site...put disclaimers everywhere. I ended up discontinuing the site because of the restrictions. Long story short, it is hard to find anyone to do the replicas anymore since they were served with cease and desist orders. He even went after the guy who was selling "space tape" kits (the 5150 logo in red reflector tape that Ed used in 1986). I actually bought the last 2 kits he was allowed to sell.


From site: <span style="color:white;]en.allexperts.com/q/Van-Halen-632/eddie-van-halen-1.htm (accessed 04.04.07)

Makes for an interesting read, eh? :D
Tom
