ALIEN - 8TH PASSENGER 1:1 arrived

[Emeldahay]

My friend is to take some more pro pics next week but I couldnt resist snapping a few off of this.

As you can imagine its massive. and as you can imagine I am very pleased. :thumbsup

You`ve maybe seen the pics on the other thread HERE

Patrick has done an amazing job - some or even a LOT of props and models just dont live up to the pictures that sold them to you;as I`m sure most of you have experienced - In the flesh/hard plastic they just look ...well...rubbish. The more expensive doesnt always mean better - HOWEVER - this isnt one of those times. :love

I intend to make a metal grate base and get custom lights set up with a remote.

Its stupidly good.

If anyone has one themselves please post pics as I`d like to see how you have posed the tail.

That looks amazing. The paint job really nailed the first ALIEN.

That thing must make a great burglar deterent. Or any annoying door-to-door types.

Congratulations and please post more pics.

You lucky you-know-what, you. That is awesome.

 

[Galactifan]

It looks AWESOME. Now, all you need is the ooze dripping from the mouth.

Im not sure what to do - theres some drips - but not many - I darent mess with it.

This bugs not as slabbery as most.

Find out what the teeth are made of. Hot Glue makes fantastic drool. You can do really thin pieces between the teeth too.

I WANT one. (may help keep my kids in line.)

 

[Star Wars Helmets]

Looks stunning - lookin forward to more pics

Congratulations

looks great.

i you want a safe way to make the drool, get some prosthetic grade crystal clear silicone, then just paint it where you want, if you dont like it, just peel it off.

Will give it a try - need to try to find a source in the UK.

Heres a couple more pics - still pretty bad ones though.... :confused

You're amassing an awesome group of replicas in that room. Did it arrive fully assembled?

 

[Emeldahay]

It did actually. The crate was HUMUNGOUS.

Even the tail was attached - the only thing to do was slip it on to the base.

BTW I`m dressing my ROTJ vader just now - he`ll be standing next to two troopers - AA/SDS and a GF suit. Its going to get crowded... The vader and STs have been sitting in boxes for over a year IIRC - Just seems I should get them all sorted at once.

I can't lie to you about your chances.

But you have my sympathies.

 

[KUROK]

Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
Unclouded by morals...

 

[Emeldahay]

I was just thinking that myself

 

[vaderdarth]

If I were a rich man.......I'd have one of these babies....

 

[androidandy]

That is one sexy beast....8)

I prefer it without the drool myself...more Gigeresque that way

 

[LiquidPhoenix]

Geez, now that thing would make me go nuts with a storm outside and the power going out, Horror movie come to life. Great piece of movie history.

 

[TomSpinaDesigns]

I'll say it again... that's an AWESOME piece.
