LOL @ first pic, Leigh. Gawd. Good old HRG, he wasn't allowed to transpose Necronom IV directly but nothing was gonno stop him from working a wang in there somewhere. :lol
As for support, heck, it'd be hard not to express enthusiasm for such an iconic piece being so well executed by a beginner.
Bloody amateurs! :lol
Simply fantastic! I love seeing the progress......:thumbsup
Same here, LOVE your last update !!!

Your all very kind, thanks
Well this is more of a question but with a little update in it
The sides & underneath are pretty much done shape wise, so I've been smoothing & texturing on one side.
Theres also a bit of minor alterations to small areas going on.
I've been using my plastic tools to get the shape how I want it & then refining the shape & making it smooth with a brush & white spirit, then removing the brush lines with a sponge which leaves a fine textured finish.
My plan atm is to let the majority of the spirit evaporate as it does & then dry brush the surface with a big soft brush to take the coarseness of the texture down a bit.
Heres where I'm at so far:
I havent got to the dry brushing stage atm.
My questions are:
Q1: Is there a better way to do this texturing for a better finish, I'm not really sure what I'm doing TBH:$
Q2: What sort of texture would one expect to find on an Alien anyway????:confused
Looking at Gigers art work, his creatures seem to have a smooth semi gloss or gloss finnish or a mix of the two.
I was thinking of combining the two to have all the raised areas smoothish & all the recessed area's with a heavier texture, in a kind of an effort to accentuate the raised area's, if that makes sence :confused
What are peoples thoughts on this before I go too much further
