Description
This is a prop headset that I've built for my Nostromo/Sevastopol costume. I took a £2 headphone set (deliberately sourced for those 80s foam earpieces). I then scratch build the mic boom and the pad for my right temple. Using a small project box I made a simple circuit for the indicator lights. I sprayed the whole thing a pale, warm grey (Tamiya) and bashed out some decals in Photoshop.

The largest decals are 2 direct copies of the Semiotic Standard used in Alien, with an additional box signifying "Network". (I had major problems creating the decals in colour, as the red ink wouldn't dry properly on the decal paper, bleeding every time I tried to apply it).

The shot includes a surplus US flight suit (which is going to be the home for some Nostromo patches), and a scratch built crowbar. This was built using plumbing pipe, and bent into shape using a heat gun.)
