Hi Bn! That is looking really nice. I love the top of the legs, those bits remind me of the "Alien: Resurrection"-style Alien!

That is looking great man!

I am really looking forward to seeing the final results too!

Keep us posted on your progress!!

Trés bon, monsieur!
How have you attached the tail? Looks pretty solid to the back.
Andrew

thank you very much for compliments...
to explain you how i fix the tail:
i've glued a backpack on the inside of the white back latex piece (where the spines are fixed), this way i can hold all the back that is a little bit heavy,and i sew a little rope on it too
so for the tail, it's glued to a heavy latex part i've made (black part under the white back) and the rope inside the tail is tiedon the one on the backpack inside the back...
and all will be cover with latex,so it's very solid
and when i put the chest/back,the tail is on it too, and all is fitting well,cause i wear all like a backpack...
i will add more picture to show you

Looking really good!

I too think the Black/Grey colour scheme is the best - thats what I opted for despite the browns being used in the movie

Nice job with the chest, should make it nice and easy to get on-off (unlike mine which when wearing I put on like a thick rubber polo-neck jumper!)

Cheers

Still waiting on mine to ship from the States, although i have a mannekin and most of the materials I need to make a start when it arrives.

I'm still toying with doing 'net' or 'Grid' head from the AVP movie but not sure if this is a good idea or not. Its a specific 'character' and not sure if he stick out too much.

so here we are... first layer of paint...it's not dry at all, cause i took these pictures 5 minutes after doing it...
so it will be dark black in a few hours...

I really like how you're blending the seperate laytex parts together. Looks very seamless. Well done!!!

the head, with the first layer of latex...

Wow! I love it. I was going to close up my jaw with latex painted fabric, but that looks much better!

Holy improvised bug improvements, Batnem!
Nice job. The head looks much better with the jaw sealed off. Do you plan on putting tendons on the jaw, too?

Very cool idea BN!

How will your vision be now that you've closed off the mouth?
