Great idea man and it looks like it will turn out great. The special armor for that alien hunter, add that to mysteria's alien shield head and scare the bejaysus out of xenos!
I finished sculpting today and I think I'll have a raw pull on saturday.
That alien head shield is not a bad idear... My wife keeps asking me when I start sculpting this shield because she really wants one.... "I don't have enough clay, honey"
Anyway, here are some pictures:
When I have a few, I'll throw them on the sell and buy section.
Great job. I had originally thought a pred whos original armor had been damaged during the course of a hunt and had to use pieces of his slain xeno's to 'shore up' the parts of his armor that had been damaged in the fights.
I made a little mistake during casting, I took a can of latex which I had just made thicker so there are some small air bubbles in it.
This example is not in thick latex because of the cold here it's hard to cast but I could not wait for the result myself
Anyway, I'm very happy with the result. The pictures don't do it any justice (If I may say so myself)
A next one, well I have this tough customer (my wife) is an Xenomorph (sorry I called it an alien ) head that goes complete over the shoulder.
Making them taper is not a problem, only the fangs have to be much smaller and I think it will lose his "horrible beast" look with smaller fangs. Anyway, it's worth a try.
Thanks everyone for the positive comments and giving me some great ideas for the future.
