Happy Aliens Day!
In honor of the occasion, here's one of my favorite Alien prop projects- a complete recreation of the emergency crew helmets from the ill-fated Nostromo. They're visible above and behind each of the officer stations on the bridge of the ship, most notably in the wake-up sequence at the start of the film.
The originals were made using 70s era found items, including a hockey helmet, vintage pilot helmet, and period greeblies. Finding those items today is almost impossible. Deetz over at the RPF forum sidestepped that problem by painstakingly creating a digital model of the helmet, then 3D printing each component.
