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!

I received my leg armour on monday from Wildeone (cheers mate!) They were a bit 'used' as you can tell in the the 1st set of pics so I went about repainting them.

What do you think? (they're darker in person)

Thanks mate :)

Just so you know I kept the left knee really battered because I'm left handed so that's the knee I'd have on the floor when firing from the knee.
The film ones weren't as trashed as mine, but I walk into things allot so I think mine need to be battered! :D
