Nostromo Emergency Helmet

 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.
