How to explain this :confused

My brother is is a painter, working in acrylics. He does mostly pop-art stuff on canvas, but he also likes to work on unusual projects, like a female mannequin, painted with images from the Universal Frankenstein movies.

I'm supposed to be putting together a website for him, and we wanted to work on a project together for that.

We both like Giger, and I like guns....

The prop started life as a rubber stunt G36 from Sahara. The idea was that I would sculpt and paint the stock and a few other bits and bobs, and Steve would paint up the rest of the gun with reproductions of Giger's work.

I started off by spraying the gun white as a canvas, then set at it with the Milliput and gunmetal. The result so far...

There's still a fair bit to do. I need to finish the shoulder rest & intend to have the underside bristling with little alien eggs :love

Dead Baby Ball
This is a cast resin sphere aout the size off a snooker ball, which will be peering out of the scope eyepiece. Painted by Steve

Pretty cool :)

Are you guys going to include an open or transparent clip with "baby bullets" from his painting of the mauser style pistol with ugly infant cartidges?
 
i like that a lot ,i love gigers stuff
and that gun has the bio organic look

What a great idea!

But for the true Gigereque look you need to sneak a few genitals etc in there LOL!
 
:lol

Actually there are some female bits too, a la the doorways to the Space Jockey ship, but they are gonna be on another part of the gun.
