Re: FULL SIZE Alien Warrior head.
I've been drooling over these for some time and it's just so funny that I missed the fact that the inner jaw/tongue is missing.
Well people let's locate one of these things and get it to SwampDonkey so he can get to work.
Still dying for one of each.

(Don't mind my low post count, been around forever on Aliens Legacy).
In fact the missing inner mouth and open lower jaw was the first thing I noticed. I ordered a head from Marty and he is making mine with the lower jaw enclosed and the inner mouth included.

Re: FULL SIZE Alien Warrior head.
Er, you could just PM him (he will then get an email notifying him of your query) or simply wait for him to reply here. Please, have some patience; many members do not log in every single day or even every week. Marty last checked in on the 9th.
A word to the wise; public displays of impatience and rudeness will get you listed on some folk's 'do not trade' lists. A few 'pleases' and 'thank yous' would not go amiss.
I am sure you will get a response when Marty next logs in.

Re: FULL SIZE Alien Warrior head.
To whom it may concern, I was not trying to be rude or impatient..... Apologies if it came accross that way!!!
As for pleases and thank you's... When frustrations concerned they tend to go out the window lol it wasn't aimed at Marty himself, I just hoped that when I put up online if anyone could help me try and get in touch...and no one answers its dis heartening, I have pm'd Marty and I understand he hasn't been online and I understand as he is probably busy making these amazing pieces... I just wondered if he had other methods of contact I didn't no of sir..
... 'Thank you'

Re: FULL SIZE Alien Warrior head.
I've e-mailed him a few times regarding my Aliens head but haven't heard back in awhile. I'm keeping the faith.

Re: FULL SIZE Alien Warrior head.
Thanks. Ive taken on more than ever on this run, so no doubt this means labor is being spread a bit thin. Im gearing up for a another round of pictures featuring everyone's heads ( 6 in total) showing exactly where the time has gone. As usual, you wont be disappointed. I do ask for a bit more patience even though we're in the home stretch. Each head takes about 12-15 straight hours of work, added to that the time it takes waiting for everything to cure and enamel paint to dry One layer will disolve the ones under it if not completely dry). It just takes time. A single head takes over a week. Taking on so many at once to meet demand has not led to delays, its just meant that I need to find those hours to do the work and do my best to allocate them according to the order in which they were purchased.
It can take a couple of weeks to get one from raw cast to display-ready exhibit with all the detail and custom airbrushed paintjob. The reason this is taking so long is I have several to do that were ordered back to back. Both a curse and a blessing, I assure you. Im trying to avoid having the guy who bought his head in the evening have to wait several weeks longer than the guy who ordered his head that morning (technically the same day),
Im swamped, but powering through. I refuse to rush through in order to get it out the door faster. I would honestly rather issue a refund than deliver a head that is below standard. If it doesnt blow you away when you open the box, Ive failed at my job.

Re: FULL SIZE Alien Warrior head.
Building one now Took me FOREVER to locate the the proper tube to make the "body" of the tongue out of. Plus, it will feature REAL HUMAN incisors on the tongue just like the one used in the film.

Re: FULL SIZE Alien Warrior head.
Ah, and here's everones heads in various stages of finish. I'll be cleaning all my poor airbrush equipment this afternoon and get some layers of enamel on the ones ready for it.
And I FOUND the metal conduit ive been searching ears for on ebay. Now I can repair the mouth of the original Giger head, which is good news

Looking good! Have you ever considered making the upper half of the torso?

Re: FULL SIZE Alien Warrior head.
Its also bigger, which is weird. It seems the ALiens head was recast from Gigers original and then modified for the second film. There's little clues here and there that show this pretty clearly. Interesting stuff!
