DISTRICT 9 Statue (Completed)

[Al-]

So after watching District 9 for a second time yesterday I decided to go through with this little project. I used these pictures as my reference here and here. I'm using foam-core (I'm a budget builder ) and a little bondo. Hopefully I can complete this project by next week, however with school 4 days a week it probably won't be completed till the end of Sept. Also ignore the black spot around the prawns mouth I cut out his tentacles so I can make it out of cardboard.

He is alright. Not a huge fan of him though.

Thanks for the kudos everyone. I'm just about done with him for today. All I need is the lettering and wiring the figures from behind. New Goal Tomorrow.

Looking good.

I miss having a workshop so I can make this sort of thing again.

Great minds think alike, for I'll be placing this at my desk.

Workshop? I used my computer desk to work on this project.

Here are a couple of pictures of my last steps:

Kudos, turned out very well:thumbsup It's often the simple things that don't require much time, effort or money that satisy the most

Thanks, and so true.

Thanks, I would but the figures (the prawn mostly) is not up my high standards for molding. Maybe if I get around to fixing the problems, then maybe I might consider it.

:thumbsup Very cool!!
Looks great.

Thank you

If you do end up molding it, I'd love one to go with the Wikus figure I'm currently doing. (Modding a two-face figure.)

I'll let you know if I do end up molding and really I can't wait to see it

Edit: nevermind i just found it looks great

That's a nice quick little piece there - good work!

I can't quite make it out from the photos of the actual statue that were linked to on page 1 - the word 'unity' has been crossed out in green spray paint but what's been written underneath to replace it?

Inspired by yours, I'm thinking of doing one out of sculpy. Will have to reinforce with wire as well.

"Zoom in, Enhance, ENHANCE, ENHANCE!!!!" I sometimes wish what we saw in movies was real. This was the best that I could do but I still can't make it out. If anyone has access to Photoshop CS200 ( the one with the enhance filter), may you please enhance this picture. Thanks

Sweet!

Wow that is pretty cool! =D

Very nice job on this. After seeing yours I'm definitely inspired to give it a go myself as well.

The word you're trying to make out on the base is " disaster "
I have a clearer pic of it on my home PC, I can try to post it later.
