Very nice, think you have nailed the colour and the drool is a nice touch. Top work, have a biscuit.

Yep, that is what I use for cobwebs, although I used clear resin when I did laddos Alien. Good effect though and the pose is killer!

The pose is actually different to the one on the box , it should be crawling but this is the only way I could get the legs to fit properly but I like this as it looks like it's just jumped down from a ceiling and I think the pose has more of an edge and action to it :smiling3:


I'm going to get another of these but one standing up :smiling3:

Great looking Xenomorph Alan.I love the films and still watch them now and again.I think 'Aliens' is my favourite, although 'Resurection' is pretty good as well.If you want some more dribble I can send you some of my grandsons if you like?!.

the base I made moni , piece of MDF then I put a good coat of filler on it then I used that moald I have for clifs and just laid it flat then added some bits of fine ballast and some cork chips then it was painted in different Browns :smiling3:


Paints for the model were , base coat , Revell anthracite grey , then a dry brush of humbrol gun metal , then I dry brushed some Wintons burnt umber oil paint to get a blend , the teeth and claws are Revell steel :smiling3:

Wow bigger than I thought and more impressive. did you get this from the same supplier as judge dredd Alan as they seem to be nicely detailed and I would be tempted myself in getting something from there that you or Monica haven't already done if there's anything left :smiling3:
