The UK
National Space
Centre ran a Sci-Fi
Movie week-end where the centre-piece was an Aliens display and "Alien
Encounter" walk-through attraction which I am pleased to say was a
HUGE success, working like a cut-down "Alien War". A team of us including Harry Harris, who worked on the
original Alien War attraction, worked with the NSC to bring this
charity event together, raising a few thousand pounds in the process. |
|
The UK Garrison provided a host of other Sci-Fi
Movie characters, prop displays and what emerged was an excellent fun day for
all the
family, generating lots of cash for a number of
Children's charities
including "Make a Wish Foundation" and the "National
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children" |

Above, looks like the Marines have spied
something......... Guess what was lurking the other side of the air lock! |
|
The tea are working on a video of the day
which will hopefully be shown on the Sci-Fi channel, but in the meantime
check out the trailer I put together to advertise the day...

Here are some pics from the promo photo shoot featuring yours truly as
the Xenomorph and Marc and Tony as the soon-to-be Alien-chow! Marc's wearing
the ACTUAL screen-used Armor and helmet worn by Hudson (played by Bill
Paxton) in Aliens, more pics of Hudson's Original
Armor here. For the Alien
build tutorial go here.

"Blast him, blast him,
uuuuuuhhhhhuuuuuummmmmppppphhh", "Damn, my
gun's jammed!" |
|
Eeeeeeek! |
|
Tony's armour is (I think - correct me if I'm wrong) Spatz
Armor which he's custom painted himself, with a rather nice Resin Blaster
which again has come from a kit. |
|
This really was a superb event and I'm glad to
say we scared the bejeesus out of a lot of (willing) punters. All the
poroceeds went to charity so it was a well worthy event. |

Finally some more pics.......... |
