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!

1/. Technically - No linking to live auctions... unless this is your own?
Not sure if this is an auction, or a straight sale, though.

2/. Wrong type of webbing - You need the 8-stripe.


Personally, I found DIY was an awful lot of work, when I can pay Matt Noble to just make one for me :lol:

I agree with you there but found it and thought there might be some DIY enthusiast out there that might like to dabble

No, fair point mate.
I'm just crap at doing that :lol:

Only making the points; a) about the 8-stripe for the newbies and b) coz this may get yanked by ze Mods....

It's a little too light green for my liking. You do see olive drab webbing on there from time to time. I bought a bit some time ago along with the hardware for the sling attachments but it's having a machine strong enough to stitch it that's the problem. Hand stitching isn't really an option and your general home sewing maching probably won't even be able to fit this under the needle once it's doubled over etc.

As for the amount of stripes, I believe there were a few different ones used in the movie. 8 stripe being one but I'm pretty sure there was a 5 stripe one in some pictures as well.

Cheers

Darren

Actually there is 4,5,and 8 stripe. (8 is mostly seen)

I agree with Darren on the color. Not olive enough.

True, you need an industrial sewing machine.
