Cheers :) TBF I do have rather a large collection of ref's now :) I shall have to invest in that book at some stage though to add to my collection. I currently have Giger's Alien, Alien special effects, the making of Alien resurrection & the official Aliens movie magazine.

Anyway I've been sort of busy :) I've got the other side of his head shaped up roughly, Just need to hit it with some filler:

This is something thats fascinated me since I started this project, how Bob looks from a distance!
I'm a smoker unfortunately & every hour or so I pop out for a cig & this is what I see:

I take these outside or distance views very seriously as alot of the ref pics are from a distance & its interesting to me how he seems different from a distance. I use these distance views for reference while I'm outside smoking :rolleyes as sometimes they seem to highlight area's that could do with a little attention, area's that I would have overlooked if I hadn't been out side. ie if I had only a 13x14 foot room to view him I might have missed something important.
Just thought I'd share that thought :):confused

You're welcome Lee !
There's more to see at Prop Archives - The Movie Prop and Costume Archive - Prop Archives : original movie props, screen used wardrobe but I thought that this one wa sthe most interesting of the lot because it shows the underneath of the, hem, zone you're currently trying to improve.

:)

Something odd about that pic ? You mean, the broken jaw ?

Thanks Fred :) found another good pic to add to the collection there :)
I shall have to put an album together of all the ref pics I've accumulated during this build & pop in my sig or something so anyone else can use it.

Time for a little update.

I think I'm finally getting there with the back end of his head. The filler work is pretty much done, just some light smoothing off to do. The thin pipes are all in place now, I've repositioned the clear pipes on the underside & built up either side of them in foam.

Just got to go round the rear with some caulking & PVA all the foam & then I can get busy with the clay again.

I'm really happy with the overall shape on the back end now :)

Bob becomes more exciting with every update.
Great continued efforts, Leigh. One can clearly see ultimately he will be an incredible achievement.

:) Thank you & thanks again to everybody for your continued support, it really is helping the project along :)
 
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. :)
