Pics of my Alien Project

Bl**dy hell ... that looks cool Mark ... :) ... always loved the plastic rigid conduit piping on the Aliens Alien ... good old Stan Winston ...

Thanx very much. Ive had blood, sweat and tears over this. Next week i should have the first plastic moulding from the silicone moulds i took. Nearly cried the other day when the plaster support mould just collapsed so i have to rebuild that. By the way it has proper cheeks and everything now.....these were early pics.....then for some reason i just stopped taking pics lol. Notice the cycle helmet built in aswell.

Outstanding work! You'll need to keep some telephone cable around to keep those teeth flossed.

great work.. horrific teeth....

@ mark... are you on Ridley's team?? ;)

Shhhhhhhh lol dont tell eveyone........and no this isnt the new alien in Prometheus either lol.

LOL .... well i wont if you promise not to sell them to cameron cause hes planning a "Prometheus" Sequel ...

And he would probably remove the dome for that crappy one he used lol which i dont know why he did that apart from worrying about them breaking. Perhaps he shouldve used Polyurethane like i am rather than Polyester which is what Giger used at the time. Polyurathane is almost indestructable.....thats why im using it for my alien head. Due to its size and weight.

Can I order one, please?

Wow....that is amazing work dude...looking like it will rival those collector items in the local sci-fi fantasy stores...i'm with Knor...how do I get on the pre-order list??

Well i can tell you...........keep your eyes on a certain auction website in a couple of weeks. Not sure what i can say on here so im not going to lol. Plus before i started building this project i asked Giger what my options were and his agent emailed me saying that FOX actually owns the copyright of the alien design now and they a not really bothered with garage builds as long as they are not mass produced. Giger on the other hand doesnt mind either, as long as the product (ill call it) isnt sold with his name attached to it. So yes....i probably will be selling them. Although at the moment it doesnt have a neck. Was thinking of making a latex sleeve that glues to the plastic head......but also has the sinues around the jaw that stretches as the jaw opens. So at the moment im not sure if ill sell them without the neck.......or youll all have to wait until ive come up with something to hide your own head. As it stands there will be no eye holes because you can see through its mouth unlike all the other heads on the market......clever me lol. So no eye holes in the neck itself. And youll be happy to know they will not cost hundreds like the current ones out there. I started this project to build an entire suit that DIDNT cost thousands to buy because it upsets me when you see them for like £4000-10,000. Because to me, once you have the moulds, from then on its only plastic and silicone/latex........which to make a suit doesnt actually cost that much, so they profit too much and people like you and me will never own the suit because i myself cant afford £10,000, id rather buy a car lol.

That looks superb Mark! I like those robust jaw casts and the teeth are lethal. May I ask if you used some sort of reinforcement for you mould support? Just asking as you said it collapsed on you. I'm a sculptor myself

Wow! That's huge!

Did I just log in to the RPF? Good looking project, mayng. Is this sucker for wear? Are you gonna stay with the current dome up top, or might you be planning on going semi-transparent with the skull beneath? Either way, I am envious.

Nice work!!

Nice Work. My mom uses to know someone who she went school with who in the 80's and 90's had a place at Blackpool Pleasure beach that people would pay a small fee to enter and he created models from bits of scrap and he created a very good full Size Alien. I think he finished it at around time Aliens came out. Maybe before.

Nice work dude ;)
