Welcome to the den of B4, more commonly known as Belgian Beer Bug Barney.
The den is a showcase of my work in the field of scale-modelling, costume and prop building. My experience in these fields spans years, but these are hobbies for me. I'm not a professional propbuilder.
Models: is where you'll find info on all the scale-models I've made. They vary from cars, aircraft, helicopters to space ships and sci-fi vehicles.
Costume: is where you'll find all replica costumes I've made and regularily wear on various events. I'm a member of the Belgian Costume Division VZW, the Belgian 501st Garrison, the Crescent Moon Alliance and the United States Colonial Marine Corps.
Props: contains the large scale set pieces and vehicles I've made.
The name B4 is explained through the use of by far my most popular costume in a crowd: the alien warrior. It was first introduced on the FACTS 2007 convention. The aliens are commonly refered to as bugs in Colonial Marine slang and since I'm the only Belgian owning such a costume at this time, I became "Belgian Bug". However, on the FACTS-party wedged in between both convention days, I talked to a whole bunch of people and found myself receiving beers from all over the place, in the end no longer remembering how many I'd had or where they'd come from. Hence, on the second convention day, "Belgian Bug" waggled across the convention floor, still intoxicated from the night before. "Barney" was added to the name, after the character from the Simpsons and "Beer" was also added. The total result is the B4-name.
Due to popular appearances, I had to add an extra page, with nothing but pictures and stories of Barney's adventures. Accessible here or through Barney's costume page.
And here's a link to my photobucket-page containing loads of piccies from various events:
