Limited Run 1979 ALIEN - NOSTROMO CREW UNIFORM
- Thread starter NostromoCrew
- Start date
That is Definitely the plan, yes.
A small update on the Accompaniments that are being worked on behind the scenes. I am posting with permission from stephen210, this post is his work.
Besides making the shirts, there are a few elements that go along with that I as a fan would love to have just as accurate a copy. And these are:
These are:
1. The Edding 1700 Fineliner pen, in chrome finish.
2. The Berec penlight.
Both of these items are extremely rare and hard to find,.. And I have been on the lookout for a while. stephen210 is the only person I know who has a few originals and he was kind enough to make me a cast copy:
Cast of the Berec penlight:
...And the cast of the Edding 1700:
This was just the first cast, the tip of the Berec will be a clear plastic, not white. We are still working this out but hopefully this would become a separate project run by stephen210. This post is his work and I hope we make it happen. I know this is something I would want on my Nostromo uniform...
...But wait, there is more!

And the hits keep coming. Count me in stephen210 and TFP this NostromoCrew !
...continued from my last post.
...So yes, the pen needs to be sprayed in chrome and the penlight needs a clear tip and white painted button, but why stop there? Why not try and embed a light element IN the penlight under the clear plastic tip just like the original, LED tech is advanced, small and cheap enough. All we need to do is figure out how to get these components to fit, how to get a battery and a light in there, what about the On/Off switch? Drill a tiny hole onto the side maybe? What about being able to change the battery? The picture in my mind was not pretty....
...That is when the light turned on (pun intended).
We don't need to do all that. That work had already been done for us. All we need to do is to figure out how to fit these very cheap, mini party balloon lights Into the penlight cast:
As long as the diameter is smaller then the top of the pen it is do-able. And even better, they crew for On/Off and provide for access to the battery. Drill a hole just deep enough to glue the bottom part in and leave the top bulb cap sticking out, glue the clear cast of the pen tip on to the bulb cap, and wallah, there we have an On/Off switch, easy access to replace the battery, and best of all, once the cap is screwed on it looks just like any other Berec penlight!
Will it fit?
Cap:
Unscrewed and cap glued on so access to battery is simple.
Cast vs Original:
And a Video!:
All work in this post, including photos and video curtesy of stephen210. Thank you my friend, I am looking forward to this project run!

Mike R from the Aliens legacy. x1 seafoam and x2 ivory. i'll get you sizes asap
Thank you!
You are #50 on the list. I am working out a new size chart. Once I am happy with it I will go public.
You've got it. Pm'ed you!
The accessories are a great addition to the catalog. I'm looking forward to the prospect of adding more Stephen210 creations to my kit/collection.
Thank you!
Regarding the pants, the answer is yes, and I will have something to show for it probably earlier than expected! Stay tuned.
UPDATE:
- I've figured out a new size chart that would better suit a wider range of interested customers, and in the process of making a sample of each in Ivory to try on and for display of the final product, Buttons, wings, accessories and all! Once I'm happy with it I will share
- The seafoam blue will take a little longer because I'm getting the linen custom dyed to match the original.
- Pants are also in the works! Depending on how much time I have, I might be able to offer these sooner rather then later!
Very excited for this. Thank you for the update
