About this Costume
Construction Details:
The clothes underneath are just OD green Lee cargo pants and an OD green tanktop
The armor is made from camping foam, velcro staps and zipties.
The leg armor are baseball shin guards
The headset is a PS2 headset

M41A Pulse rifle is a resin model kit I found on ebay.
The M56 Smartgun was originally a big water cannon which I spraypainted black, hotglued a PVC pipe to the tip and used dowel rods to make the frame.
The motion tracker is a Sony handycam. What I did was I downloaded a motion tracker sound effect and a motion tracker image loop from youtube, combined the two on my Windows movie maker and recorded the final video using the handycam.
Personal Thoughts:
I first heard of the movie Aliens in first grade. One of my classmates brought the movie for show and tell and he explained his favorite scenes. At that age, the fact that this kid's parents were letting him watch R rated movies in first grade made him okay in my book.
Later that week, we invited him over to our house and we watched the movie. My mom only let me watch up to where the marines get ambushed at the Processing station.
Later in life, I watched the movie again on AMC and it quickly became a favorite of mine. I especially loved the designs of the weapons in the movie.
