Alien Chestburster Costume
This Alien Chestburster was one of the first things I printed back in 2014 as a fun Christmas present for my brother. I need a quick Halloween costume for a party this year so I decide to make it into an actual costume this time.
This years print after a quick airbrushing and a coat of UV resin to mike it shinny.
I designed a quick chest plate (much like a Gopro chest rig) and sewed on an elastic strap.
A corresponding mount was glued to the back of the alien and it just slides in to the chest mount.
A white t-shirt was the base of Kane’s uniform and I sewed on some embellishments (like the chest strip, loops, and pocket) as seen from watching the movie. The blood was just some paint mixed with water. I didn’t do that great of a job with the splatter it but it’s good enough for my liking. You can see the mount under the tear. (I did paint the mount red after to hide it better.)
This USCSS Nostromo patch was found on amazon.
I couldn’t find the other patch (least not in time for the party) so I just 3D printed my own and glued it on.
Ready to party!
The finished Chestburster after some blood work. Besides the obvious penis jokes you’ll get wearing any costume like this… the costume was well received by any fan of the original movie.
