Title: Xenomorph Costume?!
Post by: Thyfrogcatcher on Feb 06, 2010, 12:21:33 PM
When I was looking up information about the new AVP game, I accidentally ran across a picture of fan made  Xenomorph Costume.  Its was replica quality to say the least.  I'm thinking about trying to make one of these.   Now I'm wondering how they made it?
I have never made a organic looking/ latex based costume before, but I'm willing to learn.  Any information would help.

  Is there an online community dedicated to Xenomorph costumes?
Any supplies or intrusion for these costumes.
Any info where to get parts or kits
And anything else.

I'm aware it will cost an arm and a leg, plus loads of time.  Which I admit it will most likely be a few years before I can complete this.  But I think it will be well worth it.

Most of the Aliens suits you see online are based on a kit. I don't know where to find it, but one of the members on this site bought one and did up his own suit.

However, if you have a lot of time, money, and resources, you could try doing what this guy did:

The head would be an utter bitch to make, but it's a pretty sweet-looking suit.

Hey man,

Welcome to the forum. I own a warrior suit based on James Cameron's Bug. I bought it as a kit form for a fair bit of money. I think his kits sell for $850 these days.

There is ALOT of work needed to complete the suit. It took me just over 3 months to perfect it. If you have spare time I would recomend a Jay Boden suit. (I'll PM you with details)

Here is the kit:

I just bought my Xenomorph kit. Patiently waiting here patiently!!! Just researching how to make it all come together. Hey Bugz, did you ever get your animatronics in the mouth? There isnt too much out there to get a concrete understanding for me. Im thinking pulley system for the mouth with a servo for the tongue. A combo of what Mander and Pilerud did.
Title: Re: Xenomorph Costume?!
Post by: Fuzzball on Jan 02, 2017, 07:50:42 PM
Pilerud helped me out a lot with his setup for the tongue and moving jaw. Im piecing together my suit from monsterroom now. Took me about a week to trim and clean it up.

You can find tutorials for moving mouths online by Googling it. You'll mostly get Furry results, though.

So i've been searching for a good alien costume kit for the past few months and i finally found someone who still makes them in 2019. So to spare the trouble for alot of people in the future who cant find anyone today his name is "Auldeffects" you can find him by just googling him. They look really good as you can see in the images attached getting an unpainted kit was $1150, Thats all.

The creator is called "Monster Room". They used to have an eBay account and a website but I can't seem to find either. The most recent purchase I can verify is this one from 2017 (https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/alien-xenomorph-build-wip.273178/).

Found his eBay. I think. https://www.ebay.com/usr/monsterroom Nothing for sale :-\
