Reelyator Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hi Guys, just wanted to share my latest purchase with you shortly (...and also to test if picture hosters without registration really work). This is The SPACE JOCKEY from the Movie PROMETHEUS. Manufacturer: Beninside Studio Scale: 1/6 (~40 cm high) to be continued..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crayons Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Rather interesting looking kit. Very nice detail on the egg and its carrier. Pity about the legs and feet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reelyator Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Here i have some more detailed pictures of the individual parts. I agree with you Crayons, the feet are probably the weakest parts of the model. Looks a bit like the 80´s Nike´s with velcro fly strip... The arms look better Edited September 26, 2020 by Reelyator typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reelyator Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 Head, arms and torso have some nice structure and details to work out during the painting process. The egg and the "shopping bag" look nice as well but all parts obviously need some INTENSIVE cleaning before assebly and painting. But this is nothing unusual for resin kits.

Reelyator Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 Finally assebled the Space Jockey is a bit more then 40 cm high ...at 1/6 scale...? That fellow must have been 2,40 m high....i need to rewatch the movie! Summing up: The overall quality of the Kit is perfectly ok. In some areas like the legs and the feet the detail level has room for improvement. Seams will need putty and sanding, some areas like the connecting points of the "shopping bag" might need some resculpting. And the base is pretty basic. But you need to keep in mind that this is NOT a high tech production from one of the global players. This is more a garage kit from a passionate sculptor. Under that aspect i am perfectly fine with supporting the artist by purchasing his figure. And one more thing: This Kit is a UNIQUE item, you will not find it somewere else (unless one on the Re-Casters pick it up). I am not aware about any other company offering a similar figure. The Halcyon Space Jockey must be mentioned but this is a completely different figurte from a completely different movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reelyator Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 ....one more thing: @the admins: I would have posted this in the "figure review" forum but it looks like i cannot create new threads in this forum. Is that an intended restriction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
