Nice find on this! We already have the helmet liner to go with it.

Nice to see that 100 years from now people are still wearing ****ty airsoft gear. LOL

 

[Jodo]

Yes! The same terrible airsoft vest I've had since I was 12 years old! Perfect!!! LOL

Re: ALIEN COVENANT art book

I wonder if this is the inspiration behind the pin alienscollection.com found.

There's a nice circuit board graphic in the book.

I need to find that book.

that circuit board, sweet.
Now i got something to refer to. Gonna try drawing this some time this week, maybe upload it here as PNG

yikes, yea i kinda expected the vest to be that model on the trailer before i saw the movie, i expected a Plate Carrier but meh lol Ill probably run a plate carrier when i cosplay since i got a bunch of other vests that are way better than this.

Just bought one of these German parks liners. The character Ledward wears one.

I got the 'making of' book last night. Man there are some great reference photos.

Now we need someone to make those rank insignia stencils and circuit boards for our hats and jackets.

It's in my book collection as well. I wish it had more on the costumes though. The best coverage on that so far is Adam Savage videos.

I can cut the stencils on my vinyl cutter; just don't want the chore to recreate that circuit board [emoji41]

 

[TheMechanic]

I'll just be using a generic circuit board stencil I found on Ebay and just trim it to size. I bought 2 so I can play around with them.

You can also see in the making of book that some of the team members are wearing off the rack BDU pants and surplus military leg gaiters. I also saw some Maxpedition water bottle pouches on their web gear.

Can anyone comment on the differences between these books?
