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!

Kick-ass?
Look at her - She's scrawny as heck!! She tried to kick my ass, she'd break a fingernail or something.
Ferro and Dietrich would use her head as a basketball and Vasquez would outright crucify her!!

Other friends who've seen TN have all warned me against viewing, for fear that I'll go off on another of my famous "It's a rip-off of XYZ" rants... I'll probably give it a look anyway, but I am so far really unimpressed with the blatant, unmodded use of what is so clearly motocross armour (cheap version available from Hein Gericke down the road), when so many cool costumes are made by hobby costumers like us...

Those shoulder pads make everyone look very '80s gay'... and everyone's got that 'flawlessly pretty' look about them. We need more Drakes in Sci-Fi, dammitt!!!

And mine,
Plus I doubt she'd ever be asked if she's ever been mistaken for a man.
Whereas Vasquez, Ferro and Dietrich have been or could be. :wink:

You're welcome to her. She poses with her finger on the trigger and looks far too worried about her perfectly plucked eyebrows, for my taste!! :lol:

Only kidding with you mate, because I totally agree with your 'everyone's got that 'flawlessly pretty' look about them' comment.
Sadly seems to be the way in all things these days.

Is that gun just a modified Glock Carbine? I honestly think that whole costume could be put together for pennies, the only real cost is the guns for the dropleg, and the carbine. The rest seems simple enough.

This is potentially a good thing, but I dunno.. enjoying a dinosaur program feels a bit like cheating on Jurassic park to me.

Glock? Ha! They're all modified Nerf guns!

Why would it be cheating on JP? Steven Spielberg is executive producer! :)

Just seen the first two episodes. Really liking it so far. Hope it doesn't end up being 'kids get in trouble, adults save them' every episode.

The gloves look almost exactly (if not exactly) like some Sap Gloves that are available at Tulsa Airsoft (their actual store, not online) The've got buckshot/sand in them to absorb impacts.

And yet, they mention nothing of the prop weapons that we see... like when he's describing the weapon and he's holding the modded Nerf Nite Finder. Heck, even the weapon the armorer guy is holding is based off the Nerf Recon... so they really just told us about how they trained the cast...

Man... at least the Nerf Recon and NiteFinder blasters they used were aesthetically modded. All they did was leave out the priming handle and paint the whole thing black. The most expensive show on Television is repainting Nerf blasters for props and using Biker impact armor as body armor. Wow.

Well had a go at making one of the pistols.
Didn't have a Recon for some of the parts so had to build them all out of Plasticard.
Didn't make too good a job on the smoothing/sanding as I would of liked.
Still waiting on a torch, similar to a Lenser, from China to finish it off too.
Debating whether to weather it a bit.
