Hi All, With the new movie in the offing I suppose there'll be even more T-variants coming out. Some of the stuff from 'Salvation' esp the aqua type thingys didn't see the light of day as kits which seemed a shame. As someone remarked the new range of Alclad 2 metal finishes are fantastic (need...

Re: 1X1 scale facehugger vinyl model - wip Has anyone on here ever displayed one of these in a liquid filled clear poly pipe tank with bubbles percolating up etc? Or would that be a novel thing to try out? Steve

This is a project that can't be rushed and @ 3' the scope for all sorts of detailing 's gonna keep you awake at nights. I'm looking forward to this thread unfolding. Good luck!! Steve

Hi All, Have decided to make ,Little Plant' more 'in ya face' so have increased the length of the neck/stem so the piece will now stand 20'' tall when finished. I'm going to clad the new neck with a scale like textured leaf finish and have broken up the 'neck line' around the pod with a garland...

Hi TazVader, Check my web site below. Amazing Figure Modeller & science fiction and fantasy modeller(check out their site) are doing a review soon. Cheers! Steve

Hi All, An update to 'Arnie The Cat'. Ive now created a diorama base for the mean old moggy!!! Makes it alot easier to transport around. Cheers!! Steve

Great concept!! We scratch builders with original concepts do seem to struggle to find a home amongst the throngs of TrekWars dominated sites. Check out the SFMuk forum if you want some support in your modeling or any help/advice a bit closer to home. Cheers Steve

Dont forget You can use a higher voltage battery e.g a 9v one if you have room by putting a resistor in the array of the correct size. Check out 'LED Array Wizard' on the net. You put in the values and it designs the array for you. Cheers! Steve

Brilliant build of an iconic star ship! Yours is certainly looking better than the original,which was at the Small Space Show a couple of months ago. Cheers Steve

Very nice indeed! You can't beat the satisfaction of creating something from your own imagination!! Thanx for sharing, Steve

Hi Toddbg, I see you've had lots of views and no replies!!!!! The reason? You can't possibly do all that in that space. There. I've said it. You need to split your activities into 2 groups, those that create dust[1] & those that don't [2] Work out how to best divide these by packing in plastic...

Hi All, Somehow my latest post doubled up I can't work out how to delete one from the thread. Directions most appreciated. Cheers Timepsycle [Steve]

Hi All, Redisigned the body pod a little simpler and made a start on the tendrils by bending some 6mm aluminium rod. Bending something in 3 planes to look organic is not as easy as you might think. See below 3 latest images, He wont finish up gummy but the resin teeth I cast up are...

Hi All, I have given the the artichoke idea a go and it looks great!! Cheers fellas. Although the pineapple is now a bit to much so im redesigning Cheers! Steve

Hi All, I agree the neck does need a texture. I think an artichoke'ess finish is an idea worth persueing, Thanx R Wes I'm gonna give it a go!! The mechanix of it all coming together needed a central gizmo to hold the leaves and support the 'mutant alien deathpod' (pineapple). Here are some...
