Our expert's notes

Dietrich’s (Cynthia Dale Scott) abdominal armour from James Cameron’s sci-fi action sequel Aliens. Colonial Marine Dietrich wore her body armour during the drop to planet LV-426, throughout the colony and hive exploration scenes, and in the medical lab where young colonist survivor Newt (Carrie Henn) was first being assessed. This piece was worn beneath her chest and shoulder armour, protecting her lower body.

Devised by costume designer John Mollo, the Marines’ armour blended a bold, modern military style with a Vietnam War aesthetic. Each character had their own graffiti-customised body armour, with Dietrich adopting a more subdued, traditional style.

Made by armourer Terry English, Dietrich’s armour comprises grey leather fitted with beaten metal plates. The main piece features large ribbed pads, while the metal pieces are painted with a camouflage design. Ratchet clips at each side allow for fastening to the rest of the suit, with a short strap at the base.On the back, the names “Dietrich” and “Scott” have been handwritten in marker pen. Distressed for production, the metal plates feature noticeable scratching and paint wear, while the leather is scuffed and well-worn. Dimensions: 43 cm x 38 cm x 3 cm (17” x 15” x 1 ½”)
