Carts Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 After my Frankenstein based detour I'm back on familiar ground Dating from 1991 this is an original Halcyon Face-hugger undergoing a restoration due to less than stellar paint job(by me) and general "sagginess" and wear and tear. The original box art(Which I no longer have) Dissection Crude,but effective wire armature added to tail and fingers. Trying to run away! Bits of the chestburster in the background. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom216 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Really good work. It looks like a thing of nightmares. But! There is a way for sweet revenge! https://imgur.com/gallery/vyOpA 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RACETRACK Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 yep, as someone who has a fear of arachnids,that's the daddy. My stepson once made the kit for friend who put it on display in his movie memorabilia encrusted barbers shop in Benfleet. The kit as I seen to remember other than really being realistic did have a very anatomical belly. Are you going for the chest buster next? I've never seen the kit completed.

Yep,The belly section is definitely NSW I have altered the topic slightly as the chest-burster colours are so similar to the face-hugger I may as well build both at once. 3 hours ago, Hunter Rose said: Wow thats massive and already looking damn creepy Andy! Great job with the beefy support structure Thanks H R ,its looks better being able to stand on its fingers then just sort of laying splayed out like extra-terrestrial road kill Progress on "Old Chesty" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carts Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 A small update Original box for the Chestburster,This is the "Aliens" chestburster with small arms rather than the "flippers" of the original I've attempted to curve the tail by making small incisions in the tail and packing the gap with scrap vinyl. Look who's turned up,Why its "old faithful" the Dog burster from Alien 3 And the Facehugger makes an appearance I see a lot of flesh tones and gore in my future! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 They look like they're performing some kind of nightmarish karaoke in that last pic! The knuckle detail on the facehugger is exceptional - I've seen them on eBay and often wondered about the quality. Now I know 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 For my sins I have a recast facehugger kit and the detail is very nice. Great start so far, looking forward to seeing your painting techniques as that is what is putting me off starting mine. As for the Chestbuster, I've often thought of getting one and replicating the John Hurt scene with a white t-shirt and wearing it at Sci-Fi conventions!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Rose Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Sweet the whole set! They're going to be a lot of fun to paint, look forward to seeing more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carts Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thanks All,admittedly none of the above will be winning any beauty contests anytime soon,the last of the 1-1 scale creatures I have in a half finished state is the "Queen Alien Chestburster" Which only appears towards the end of the theatrical cut of Alien 3,and then we only get a brief glimpse. There are also some accuracy issues around the dog burster alien,as apparently Halcyon were given access to the creature design when it was to exit through an Ox(as seen in the assembly cut) but re-shot and changed to a dog for the theatrical release,Still if I slaver it in enough viscera we should be ok.

Thanks for sharing with us. Chris. Some of them do go for really silly money,especially the Drop-ship,Luckily I bought mine back in the day from a model shop in Wigan for £19.99,but a boxed chest-burster went on E-Bay the other day for £35.00 On 2/23/2018 at 2:46 PM, Mike said: Ditto, but I also wish I had ther skills to build them well to do them justice - especially the Dropship Its a bit of a pig of a kit,but looking at your other builds I reckon you'd "knock it out of the park " 8 hours ago, RACETRACK said: 'Just remembered!

Carts Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Nearly finished the chest burster,need to cobble a base together for it,I wasn't sure whether I should "Bloody" it up,but then I thought,The clues in the name,So one strangely rewarding splatter session later. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 AWESOME OR WHAT...... Great to see these old latex classics brought back to life. I had them all and built them all a very long time ago but nowhere near to these standards.

Carts Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Been working on the base for the Chest-Burster,its a bit of wood with some bits from a collapsible plastic crate and strips of plastic card .
