Awesome!!! Lets do this!

You're talking "Aliens", right? I started but decided to put it on hold while I did my clone. All I have is the pulse rifle. Don't have the $$ to finish it right now.are you getting your stuff from Spat?

Haven't seen any USCM around here in a long time. Glad to see a little group forming. You can fight our Predators.

Yeah, it's Aliens. I am still researching armor makers. I have heard mixed reviews about Spat...any advice or direction from anyone is appreciated.

I bought Spat's pulse rifle kit and it's pretty good. Turn around time for him is pretty long, according to his site. If anyone here talks to Albin Johnson, we could always ask him for an opinion, as his wife is friends with Spat.

I have a bunch of links saved on my computer, but unfortunately, we are living with my parents until we close on the house and it's sitting in storage for now.

I have owned spat armor before and I bought another set from somebody else, not the best but ok. No need to contact albin, I know spat also. His turn around time for armor is 6.to 9 months. You can sometimes find a set on the aliens legacy board or on the rpf like I did.

How was Spat's armor? Seems like his is good, from what I've heard. I also like that he now has the movie accurate camo.

EDIT: oh wait...did you mean Spat's wasn't the best or the other guy? Sorry, I'm half asleep here.

Ok. Wasn't sure if anybody knew him or not. Thought I'd throw that out there, just in case.

Also, if you guys are looking for the lights that go on the back of the armor, I also found a guy that makes both working and non-working versions. He doesn't include the mounting brackets but told me to just use L-brackets from a hardware store.

If I can get some dimensions, I can pull something together. Let me know Shimko!!

My armor should be here next week...I have the safariflage already...Still need Jungle Boots, dog tags, and pulse Rifle. I have a pop gun used for Belt tool and ammo for smart guns..I might cast it for us.

I am going to repaint my armor, i have some of the Humbrol paint, but I might take it into a paint store and get a computer match. I am customizing my armor like I did before, with the fett skull on one of the shoulders and the fett chest emblem on my chest.

There is a font on the Alienslegacy board for the name fonts on the chest, i have to do that also.

"STAY SHARP!"
