Me and my friend cody on here wanted to do the EVA suits from alien. so the research began. we found a ton of info in Ritch's and steve's thread on the suit they did in 09. tons of info in that thread. Can't thank them enough for the info they found and shared.,

here is the link.

Now we had a good start but some things we are still figuring out. we are scratch building the entire suit. we bought the model kits used for the greebs and will be lazer cutting parts also.

we just started on the armor and pack. still waiting on the dome i ordered which is 16 inches in diameter and 8 inches deep. i will start the helmet once i get the done.


the whole thing started out as drawings and going from there we started building parts.
drawings like this.

here are the model kits used for the helmet greebs and some of the parts. lots of parts in both kits. also from the mclaren kit some of the parts were used on the wrists parts. i bought a hood scoop for one of the greebs that is not in either kit. and there are some parts we cannot figure out.

I've been working on some of the parts that we're unable to identify by modeling them up in fusion360 and printing them out. Here's some of the things i've gotten so far. If anyone can identify the realworld parts please let us know.

The rivets on the shoulders

The grill on top of the shoulder
Shoulder grill v2.png

the knob on the backpack
Backpack Knob v7.png

the flashlights

I've got some other parts i'm working on and will share and upload everything once finished.


We are in the process now of looking for what is written under the 2 knobs and what are the red and blue thing are on the right on the backback next to the blue button.

Very cool.

UPDATE>
Shoulder armor, chest armor and pack are progressing. Hope to post pics soon. The dome finally got here. Will start the helmet once the pack, shoulder and chest armor are ready to mold.

Found parts update.

Stomach box on the side are two rocket thusters from the space 1999 hawk kit. One is cut down. But the parts match. The lower circle part looks like and old gas cap with a radiator relief lever added. they used a scrap cross bar from the kit for the T shape. this pic is from the prop store kane suit which has replica parts. you can tell the difference with the paint job.

The hose coming from the pack to the helmet. Looks like a Russian gas mask hose. At least that is what Adam savage looks to have used for his. The measurements look right.

Ive got Kane's flashlight about finished. I have some touch ups and the handle to finish but it fits the glove nicely.

I've still working on some of the smaller detail pieces and accessories while Mr.Bungle is progressing on more of the main parts.
Heres a detail seen on the chest and stomach box.

These will be etched in Brass when finished, ive sent off to have them cut in vinyl and will have that back soon hopefully.

Re: Alien EVA MK50 suit group build PIC HEAVY

thanks!

here is an update to the pack and shoulder armor.
the parts are just tacked on to see how everything is fitting together. i used a russian gas mask hose for the hose and used the fitting to connect it. alittle brass ring on the hose and it should look legit. now a ton of sanding and making holes for toggles and lights.

top of the pack. the knobs are not the final knobs.

Re: Alien EVA MK50 suit group build PIC HEAVY

I’ve gotten some detail work done for the shoulders and backpack that Tom is working on now. I’ve also got some stencils for brass etching the name plates. Still much more to go!
