Im making 2 dozen Xenomorph Eggs (full size)

[PropsToHistory]

Like it says on the tin, im making 24 xenomorph eggs.

Theyre for a halloween party.

No, they're not for sale.

For starters i had to make the mold, the mold master was this.

A plaster casting that came from Stan Winstons shop years ago (supposedly) that we think is Ressurections (maybe)

Anyway, made a matrix mold. 6 gallons of mold max 30 and lots of fiberglass later...

And started rotocasting them from 65D
They take a gallon and a half each.

Ive done 8 so far. 16 to go. Then its painting time.

Cheers

Yes that looks like the Resurrection style. Your castings look very well made.

 

[Funky]

[ZeroSum]

I don't know how I didn't see this when it was first posted. Very cool. I'd love to see them all painted up!

 

[TazMan2000]

That's quite a rotocasting setup!

Am I the only one who through the mold looked almost as creepy as the egg?

Was about to say the same thing This project is not cheap, but it's looking good so far

Really Beautiful work. I love turning the messed up cast into a pumpkin!! Such a clever use of a bad cast. The costumes are great too. EXCELLENT!!!

 

[Too Much Garlic]

If you do it again, try making a motorized rubber egg - among the static ones - with motion detectors that opens when people get too close and have a spring trap mechanism that sends a facehugger out. Maybe have it be the last one in the row.

 

[Astyanax]

Or go the puppet route with one of them...

 

[Metalalien]

Love it! Now you have to live with 24 lifesize Alien eggs... Might as well get a queen to go with them!

 

[Neolun]

Looks like a great party! The eggs look superb. That lazer is the cherry on top. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

Can I ask: You still have/do those Tracker Kits? Finally got one of those portable TVs. Send you a PM. Thanks and sorry to bother.

Great work man.
