Hello Everyone,
I acquired this unfinished ID4 (Independence Day) Studio Scale Alien Attacker some time ago and have been slowly working on it. Its one of the last ones from the original Studio molds ICONS had that has been sitting on a garage shelf for way over a decade. So far I sanded all the old bondo that was left to fill seams and corrected the "Mohawk" top to fit straight and the bottom of it repaired to sit flat on its base. It slanted a tiny bit before so I made a little wooden guide to help me set it correct and straight while I removed or added very small amounts of material to its bottom.
Right now I'm doing research and have some pictures of the studio one. First is to find out where all the many 'bone pieces" fit and how the finished paint looks up close which I happen to have a friend who has a finished one I can use as an "example" to document where all the pieces go and will travel there when time allows since I can't find one closer to where I live. I'm hoping to locate the screen used one and see it up close...maybe someone here might know where it is. I'm also trying to decide if I want to build an interior and light it. Suggestions are always welcome. Here's a few pics but updates will be very slow since customers projects take up most of my time and I'd rather take this personal project slow and do it right the first time.
