Wow. I am amazed more and more by the skill and talents of people i see on this forum.

That is a very beautiful suit.

 

[ChaseKiefer]

Awesome work! I thought that was a kit build at first. You have done a fantastic job on this. Welcome to the RPF.

I'm always excited to meet another Alien fan. Nice build lilsparrow, may I ask what is p.u. hard foam? Are you referring to latex?

 

[Art Andrews]

Wow! That is just incredible!!!

 

[loco lord]

wow! great costume dude!

@ Simul8r : "P.U. Hard foam" refers to Polyurethane resin foam, so it's not foam latex, it's a two-compound foam that is created with a chemical reaction during the mixing, and without heat or curing. It can be hard, or soft, and it's cheaper than foam latex.

Let's say, when you do not have a big oven, it's a convenient way to have foam elements, close to foam latex, but not as stretchy. Some type of this foaming resin can even create a " skin " surrounding the foam core, getting more details from the mold.

@ littlesparrow : Y'a pas d'autres moyens que le système D, de toute façon, même chez les pros. Jolie build, le résultat est là.

Really nice scratch build! Captures the spirit of the creature, especially in the curved lines around the mouth, scary!

 

[littlesparrow]

[Mardikrewe]

AWESOME ...... truely AWESOME work.

Are you selling the heads and or peice's?

 

[littlesparrow]

head is from a silicone mold,i made 4 others but mold is not made with high quality silicone so it s very fragile

maybe i can do one other head or a torso...but i have other projects and i don t have too much time

you can t find a warrior head in usa?
in france it s really hard to find an alien suit or head,that s why i do my own costume

That would scare my to death if it came after me in a dark alley. Absolutely beautiful work, and only starting to do this stuff in 2 short years is fantastic!!
