I'm not an Alien fan - too much like the old 1950's B-movie horror films - but that's a cracking build Si!Gern

Cheers Dave, I was inspired by your 'bug' dio. And was trying to figure out how to get the figures in a setting that is like Aliens. I appreciate your kind words and thank you.

excellent sense hicks was favorite in Alien,great job SI, do really like the rust on the walls with the 2 or 3 shading , dose work well and i would keep it in night mood just the dim light

adds to the horror off it

Thank you Moni glad you like it glad you think it has all come together and works well.

Looks good, the last shot is very like the film and the game Doom

Cheers Graham. Now that's a game and film I haven't played or watched in a few years...DOOM! A comparison I had not thought about.

I was thinking the "low budget" effect, like (un)painted cotton fluff...

Ah, with you know Steve. Typical of me to think of the hardest option lol. I like your thinking and will see what I have lying around and what I can use.

A great build Si, and the last two photo's are the best in my opinion very atmospheric

Cheers Ian, I like the last two also, despite my camera being naff, with a bit of computer magic they came out rather well.

LOL, now that is some challenge to re-create Newt, suppose we could do her in the nest near the end of the film.

I have added these pictures here. I was experimenting in using two part Epoxy to create some dripping and globular melting metal after the Alien's acidic blood had attacked it. I also added some red to the ammo counter on Hick's pulse rifle. But that is it, honest, no more fiddling. I have also added some action shots (by that I mean attempted) using a low light setting.

Thank you James, glad you like it. I agree, the film seems to be timeless and is still a great Sci-Fi action flick.

My first project out of my new Mancave is an oldie ( apologies for a thread resurrection). I have gone back to this dio as there were some things I wanted to do to finish it off but couldn't working in the house...they niggled me.

I have added better sweat effects to Hicks, more glistening goo to the Alien and a hint of green on the melted metal to denote acid blood. Also in the rafters there is some alien hive slime with strands and a Facehugger...will it get Hicks...who knows?
