Beautiful work! Looks incredible - and I'm a total nit picker when it comes to the original ALIEN.
 
Re: Bob the Alien (Giger inspired Alien) Sculpting finished page 45

Stunning! Seriously the level of detail is unreal..
 
Re: Bob the Alien (Giger inspired Alien) Sculpting finished page 45

Brilliant! I have an old copy of the book Giger's Alien and your sculpt is spot on.

Its been 2 months, Leigh..the silence is deafening. Everything OK?
 
Re: Bob the Alien (Giger inspired Alien) Sculpting finished page 45

Ha...snap! I'd just been nagging him by PM. :lol Last we talked, Leigh's got some real life concerns that were taking higher priority. :(

Spot on Martyn ,Thanks :)
Sorry for the lack of updates guy's & thanks for not forgetting about him :) I will get moulds made I just need to sort stuff at home first.
 
Re: Bob the Alien (Giger inspired Alien) Sculpting finished page 45

Loving your updates and your sculpture is excellent. Carry on posting!!!

Leigh - Take care of things at home ... we have 48 pages of previous updates to keep us going until then :cool

Looking forward to progress whenever you can get back to it.

Leigh, this is an amazing thread. Take your time and get back to it when the real world challenges are at peace. I'm sure everyone here will wait forever if that's how long it takes. We respect your talents and hope u can get back to Bob soon!

Many Thanks for your patience & your support folks :)
I do have a small update:
I've just placed a large order for some new materials that should be turning up sometime this week :)
 
Re: Bob the Alien (Giger inspired Alien) Sculpting finished page 45

Leigh...so pleased for you. I'm crossing my fingers that the investment will be worthwhile but I have little doubt it will be. You'll tackle this with your customary skill and tenacity and I'm sure the result will be rewarding. :)

This is so great looking. I would highly suggest a matrix mold.
With a brush on you will almost certainly get a few air bubbles.
Matrix (or case molds) are a bit of extra work, but make your life sooooo much easier later.

Just a thought.

Thanks guy's :)

I cant build a Matrix mould, the surface of Bob is too soft, a brush up mould will have to do :)

Having invested a lot of time into Bob I've now invested a lot of money into him too:

I've still got to get the Thixo for the silicone, some brushes & some disposable rubber (not latex) gloves & I should be ready to go :)
I'm going to be changing direction a little bit, I'll be leaving the main body section to be moulded last instead of first as its quite a complicated part :)

Exciting stuff! Can't wait to see how you approach the mold.
