Carts Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I was aware that Neca had released these huge quarter scale figues,(they also do a predator ) and have seen them in a few specialist shops but the £100.00 plus cost,and toy like nature always put me off,However i was having a look on amazon and saw that they had heavily discounted this fiqure due to packaging damage (its the transluscent suit concept figure) so I took a punt. On opening the box its clear just how big the fiqure is,(Just shy of 2 feet) and suprisingly heavy as well,it stands well unaided and looks the part,The plan is to pose,glue ,fill and re-paint,make a display base,and bore you all silly with more Alien based shenanigans Planning on leaving the tendons and mouth parts clear(ish) when I re-paint Cheers Andy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 That's different - it would probably scare the whatever out of any intruder who stumbled over him/her in a dark room ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundledonk Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Fantastic detail on the figure Andy and a big bugger he is too. Can't wait to see what you are going to do with it, your other Alien projects have been stunning and very inspiring Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carts Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Used a shedfull of Milliput over the last few days slapped a bit of gray paint on him to see how the filling went. Attempted to give it a stalking its victim vibe with the pose. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Vale Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 That's creepy and cool. But is having a two-foot alien in your house *really* a good idea? What if you get up in the night to go to the loo, and come across it by accident? AAAAAAAAH! W 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progress I know it looks like Stompy,(thats right,I call him Stompy), got bored and went to Sunseekers tanning salon on Deck 26 and overdid it,but this is just the first of many coats of various hues of Ink that are going to be applied to his lanky frame. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carts Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Started layering in various coats of inks,mainly black,sepia and burnt umber Time consuming,extremely messy,but strangly relaxing! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 wow this looks brilliant - it reminds me of a kit I bought years ago (1992-ish) from Tony James at Comet in Lavender Hill which was cast in black vinyl and looks identical to this kit of yours - it too was the same size so maybe it is the same kit - if so, I remember that the glazed skull hood got tricky but it looks like you are very much in control there and I love your paint job - very realistic exo-skeleton touch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got my original back in the day I thought it was huge,This is a more recent e-bay purchase as I wanted the box. Its actually a copy of the infamous Kenner Alien action figure released in 1979,Which they couldnt give away at the time,Now,Of course,its a high value collectable.

RACETRACK Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Good job! I built this some time ago and made a hash of the cowl, for some reason I could not get vinyl to fit correctly. I had issues with the thing standing up, I ended up using the wire articulated tail as third support. It now resides with my wife's nephew. Well done again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been working on Stompy and decided to de-jaw him to ease painting Bits out and taken apart ,pretty nicely designed Jaws popped back in and dome painted,went for contrast as I have misted the dome with a dark gray wash Trimming and fitting the cowl In place and ready for a close up Quick test fit on the stand Definitly on the home stretch now! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
