Giving this thread a deserved bump. I just wish others would add their Aliens collection pics to this thread. I am working on my Aliens display now but still probably at least a few months before it is camera ready.

The smaller knife from the film, carried by 6 marines including Hicks, is technically a "Scalemead Survival" knife. That is the polished blade version of an "Explorer Night Raider". They are the same knife but the "Night raider" has a black oxide finish on the blade. They are also easy to spot with their screw on cap/bases which reveal a hollow handle. Night Raiders are far more easily found so most people get those.
The larger knife (carried only by Hudson) is actually a Gerber Mk 2 "clone". Hudson carried a 'copy' of a Gerber mk2, There are subtle differences on the guard and in the sheath that give it away. But the real Gerbers and casts of the actual Mk 2 are easily found and very popular. Most people get those, plus its a damn fine knife (especially the older ones).
Anyways... finished up some projects so I updated my wall!
The smartgun up top is very much a WIP. I am also working on a Hicks Shotgun that incorporates actual Ithaca 37 parts that is not pictured.
The 'PMC' head is more of a placeholder/funny bit to me than a serious 'prop' attempt, but you know I kind of like it.

Thanks, bro. Had that one rolled in a tube for the longest time. Wanted to finally get it out and displayed properly.
I have a decent sized ALIENS collection that I've already posted pictures of. Recently however, I was watching ALIENS and saw that a tool box that was carried by one of the colonists in the extended version of the movie, was the box the drill came in...the drill that was used as the motion tracker.
I remembered I had the same box and decided to recreate the tool box. I also added some extra stuff just to fill it and make it more interesting.

Mike J., that first picture is exactly what got me started, thanks for posting it!
Kurtyboy, that Alien pistol looks great! I have a kit of the same thing and I really need to get working on it.
