Aliens USCM Kit Procurement Resource - What I've Got and Where I Got It

[DBoz]

So, over the past couple years, I've been procuring all the USCM kit I can. Along the way, I've been keeping a list of what I've gotten and where I've gotten it. I thought this might be interesting and/or useful to others, so I thought I'd post a copy. This list has been redacted, as there was some personal info and prices paid included. But, it gives an overall idea of what is out there and where it can be obtained.

Click the thumbnails for larger images. Enjoy.





I also thought it might be useful to post some pictures of some of this stuff. I know a lot have seen most of this stuff already, but I'm sure there are some who haven't. Unfortunately I have no pics of the MAA armor, as I have not received my set yet. Also, the Spat helmet has been disassembled, so no pics of it either, although I did include a couple of the parts. Anyway, here goes:

First up is the Noble Ab pad kit and Noble Aluminum brackets for the back of the armor. All are very nice pieces. The Ab pad is especially nice.

Next we have the moped1967 Grenade suspenders and belt. Very nicely made and the printing ads a sense of realism and is an awesome touch.

From Left to Right: Noble PR/Motion Tracker Strap, Noble Pulse Meter strap and decal kit for converting the Pulse Meter to a locator watch, Real Gerber MkII, Leather sheath for the Gerber MkII (www.savagemadesheaths.com), MAA VP70 holster.

Spat resin Hand Welder kit, New Moon Props resin Helmet cam (unpainted), Spat resin Helmet cam (painted), Real Pentax 18mm lens for Helmet cam, Spat ear piece for helmet.

Marsattacks IR sight for helmet (an incredible piece), Marsattacks ear piece for helmet (aluminum hinge bottom, resin hinge top, resin ear cup), Marsattacks Beyerdynamic 560 helmet mic replica (machined aluminum, also extremely well done, mine has been partially disassembled).

Patches: Top left: Dropship pilot wings by Mike Rush on the Aliens Legacy board, Below that and center: Laser etched personalized USCM dog tags by Armourer on Aliens Legacy board, Bottom Left: MAA screen printed Sulaco, Flag & Screamin' Eagle patches, Top Right: USCM and Name Tape by camotech.com, the rest are embroidered patches from patchesnpins.com

Here we have some of the nicest pieces in my collection: SDStudios working locator (counts down, beeps, it's awesome), Tommin Machined Aluminum hero grenades (spring loaded trigger, very cool), Matsuo Shoulder Lamp (Matt does the best resin work and finishing in the business).

British S6 Respirator bag, was the bag that Frost and Ripley used in the movie. Got this from a limited bulk purchase on the Aliens Legacy board.

MAA 3PAT BDU top. Sorry no pics of them on me, but in pretty much every pic you see of someone wearing USCM gear, they are wearing MAA BDUs.

Finally, the UHC/Tanio Koba VP70.

My PR parts will be documented in this thread: http://www.therpf.com/f9/my-hero-m41a-pulse-rifle-gathering-parts-71066/

Realy impressive collection I am working on some bits myself and am constantly envious of the skills I see by you all keep it up

Thanks! I can't take any credit for any of this stuff as I am only a collector and haven't done any of the fine craftsmanship involved in these replicas.

This list is somewhat dated. I no longer have the MAA BDUs, but I have a set of HORPAT BDUs on order over at the Aliens Legacy. Also, never got my fiberglass armor from MAA. that was a huge disappointment, as well as being a decent chunk of change out the window. I have picked up a couple of new items, such as a Matt Noble pulse meter replica, a Terry English helmet and a Sean Morgan M240 flamer.

Just want to bump. This thread was remarkably helpful, I really appreciate it.

Glad it was helpful. I haven't gotten any new Aliens stuff for quite a while, but I should update this with pictures of the M240, helmet and BDUs mentioned. It's only been two years after all.
