A Couple Of 'alien' Models

[wikxie]

Here's a couple more from the 'Alien' movie series.


Hi There! (Isn't it cute?)


This is from Alien3 and is the Halcyon kit.


USS Sulaco from Aliens (and Alien3) also a Halcyon kit.
It's 1/2400 and that blob on the stalk, below the lower turret is the Drop Ship launching!

When and where did you met my boss?

I was a big "Alien" geek back in the day.  I and II were my favorite. Very impressive work!!! B)

Mine too, Eddie.

Is good to have figures here, also. Impressive one, BTW.

That Sulaco is a little gem

Scary good fun!  I'm especially impressed with the way you have managed to produce such a translucent, wet effect from an otherwise solid (resin or vinyl?) kit!

Have you seen Alfred Wong's dropship model yet?

hi
thanx all

JHM - actually it's injection moulded styrene! Halcyon did, IMHO, some amazing work. Getting all those curves to meet would have been a challenge for the mould designer. I got the translusent effect by mixing a little Tamiyia Clear Red and Green ( makes brown ) to Gloss Clear and sprayed it on, sort of like a thick wash. I gave it couple of coats, going heavy on areas I wanted to look really wet and slimy. I was really happy with the result as it helped to blend the washes and dry brushing etc I did with the painting.

Rafael - thanks, the Sulaco got best Sci-Fi model at the '93 (That long ago!?!) SAPMA (South Australian Plastic Modelers Assosiation) comps. Funny really as second was a hugh big USS Enterprise D which half filled the table. People saw the Big E and thought it must be the winner then they read the card, saw mine was 1st and wondered what this little lumpy thing was! (The Sulaco is about a foot long BTW)

Oh and I'll put some more figures up for you too.
