I started to build an Alien costume at the beginning of 2006. I have been obsessed with the Xenomorph for a very long time and I have wanted an Alien suit since I was a kid. Building it was hard work, but I have already had a good time with it.
The Alien suit was "completed" in June 2006 but, like all obsessions, it'll never be finished! Details of how the Alien costume was made can be found in the Alien Costume Construction section. Stories of the Alien's adventures can be found in the Alien Outings section.
The Alien has taken part in charity events, featured in the Children in Need live broadcast on BBC Scotland and has attended several Sci-Fi conventions.
He has worked on a charity event called Alien Encounter that was part of Sci-Fi Weekend 2006 held at the National Space Centre in Leicester. Alien Encounter was a charity version of Alien War. It was very well received and many hundreds of people were scared! AE2 is planned for Q4 of 2007. Expect it to be even scarier than the first time round!
The Alien is a member of a costuming group called the United Kingdom Colonial Marines (UKCM). The UKCM is a group of like-minded British Marines and Aliens who love the Alien film series.
