1:1 Scale Xenomorph

[brandonstudio]

Hey community, a try at a life sized Xenomorph! I need to get my hands on an old mannequin, until then I'm starting with the head. I'm using a toy as reference, pictured here.

Looks like your off to a great start!

And it looks like it would be a very satisfying process hand carving and shaping from the foam.

Thanks very much for sharing.

How goes the foam slicing?

How goes the foam slicing?

Easy. Just use a wood saw for large pieces, a craft knife for the smaller. And using a wood file and sandpaper to help shape too. Makes bit of a mess, but love playing with polystyrene

I purchased a cheap mannequin hoping to cut and make changes to the posture for the beginnings of the body. Anyone here have any ideas how i should extend the limbs? I plan on cutting the legs and waist to get a pose that looks like its poised for action, and to make the limbs a bit longer as this is only 5.5 ft and want it close to 7 ft. I'm thinking I could try making internal sleeves made from polystyrene to bridge the gap to make them longer. Any thoughts would be very helpful. Thanks community .

Time to slice and dice!

Here I've used wire, epoxy glue, foam space filler and galvanized iron shank to connect the joints that I've cut to repose the mannequin.

I decided to remake the head, the original was too big and an odd shape.
