The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Never built one to this level of detail. I really had no idea how long it would really take since I work so much.... I will be lucky to finish it this year.

I've spent about as much time on the drawing as I am willing to do. This is good enough for me. :) Time to get back to the Alien build.

That is massive.
The bar stool looks child sized, in comparison.

Excellent progress in only a year's time.
Looks like the home stretch is underway.

Thank you... yea that is one thing I wanted is to see an alien full size not downsized so a human could wear a suit. The movies said they were 8 ft tall and that is what I wanted. This one is more like 9ft tall.

Once the legs are done it will be time for the tail... and I expect that to be the hardest part.

This foam clay takes nearly a week to dry all the way through.. but it is very sandable and lightweight. Top layer will be apoxie clay.
