Crew Helmet from Alien When we first worked on this film for Ridley Scott we had no idea of what a cult classic we were to be involved with, had we had a crystal ball it would have been prudent to have kept the moulds, we are still, 20 years later being approached by fans to supply items from the film. even scraps of material from the original costumes. They have all now gone in case you were going to ask. John Mollo was the costume designer on this film with whom we worked closely to produce all of the space suits used in the film including a replica set of costumes made at 2/3rds scale for (I believe) Ridley's children to wear on set to create a sense of scale and distance. Even an animatronic of Ian Holmes Robot face was produced made in latex and operated with bowden cables in the days before latex-foam silicon and computer operated servos. see also: Costumes from the film link: Official Alien site
