Seeing as the Marine is a bit of a strung out process with a few sticking points that I'm working my way around, I thought I'd do a Xeno too.
Mainly because we can't have James having all the fun now can we!
So the kit has arrived. Plenty of rubbery goodness to work through.
I've got a 1mm Neoprene Skin suit coming (like a wetsuit, but much much thinner) for my under suit and I'm now just scratching my head about the animatronics.
First bit started...
Jaw hinge going in place.
No doubt I'll be pulling the teeth out and replacing them with some better ones.
Few days later.
Well... As I said above. I'm not happy with the teeth.
So today in a rare afternoon where I got to do some stuff for myself, I made some new ones.
They are cold cast Aluminium so eventually they'll be polished up to a shine. I've got to set them into a gum yet before sticking them back in the jaw.
Also started on the workings, so put in the servos for the lower lip, the actuator wires will fund through tubes set into the lower jaw, and I've put the jaw opening servos in their frame.
I've also managed to trim and glue the tail together and inserted the alcathene tube for a similar mounting system to Prophet's.
The back and horns are all glued in place, but I need to latex the joins and probably make up some details to hide them.
Hands are trimmed. Need to get some gloves.
I've also taken delivery of a few surprise parts, but I'm keeping them under my hat for now.
an another day.
I'll set them before installing the horns. (they're not glued... I like stuff to come back out if possible!)
Teeth after a bit of a polishing session.
Teeth have now been set in a jaw, remoulded and cast as a complete drop in set of gnashers.
