I can't stop looking at those costumes !!! Great pic, Chronos, thanks for posting it here !!!
BTW, I've also ordered SCIFI Fantasy Modeller issue 14 because it features an article about a guy who made a HUGE space jockey model... and from what I could see of that cover it looks really impressive !!!

I'll have to check my local book stores and see if I can get a copy of the magazine. Hope they sell it!

I received my copy of Sci-Fi & Fantasy Modeller Vol. 15 in Tokyo very quickly after ordering. There's a lot of great stuff in there, but best of all is the ALIEN EVA Suit article -- a very informative piece with many excellent photos (including several by phase pistol). The piece is written from Richie's perspective, although the byline is shared by his partners in this incredible project, Steve and Danita. And the article mentions by name several members of this board who assisted them with the project along the way. All in all a very classy and collectible edition.
Congratulations again, Richie, Steve, and Danita!

So...
On Friday last week, the very same day that I received my copy of Sci-Fi & Fantasy Modeller Vol. 15, my first shipment of the Dallas hard parts arrived from Richie. This included the chest and shoulder assembly, gloves, and the front box (but not yet the belt on which the box mounts).
I had previously taken delivery of the undersuit from Danita and the helmet and boots from Steve.
Still coming from Richie are the backpack, belt, holster, and wrist compads. Shawn is working on my Rexim right now.
I hadn't planned on posting photos before the suit and display are complete... but I've had a request for shots of the undersuit, and I'm loathe to refuse a request from my buddies on the board! 
Here are a few snapshots of what's coming together in my display room. Most were taken with a flash. Although the shots are quick and dirty, they can't disguise the spectacular detail work that Richie, Steve, and Danita have done on this.
This last sequence shows the undersuit on the mannequin, then the addition of the neck, chest, and shoulder assembly, and finally the addition of the helmet and gloves. Note too, in the last shot, the larger base I fashioned for the mannequin. With the helmet on, the display became top-heavy and threatened to overwhelm the stand that came with the mannequin. The larger surface area and weight of the custom stand will prevent this.
My gratitude once again to Richie, Steve, Danita, and everyone else who contributed to this project. The ALIEN EVA Suit has been a holy grail of mine since I first saw the film in 1979. I never thought I'd actually see one, though, much less have one to display in my collection. Y'all have made a 30-year dream of mine come true!
THANK YOU!
