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!

Well there you go the final one completed to my Aliens Movie USCMs.

Figure:- Hot Toys Snap kit Hicks.

Head:- Shrunk McFarlane Hicks head.The headsculpt is with molded headset.So I added the mic to it & kept it like the movie & he can still wear his helmet too.

Added cloth to both wrists (White sweatband & Watch) to hide the HT hand-forearm gap. Done this also to other Marines wearing these.

Redone the strap on the Motion tracker.It`s actually a cloth one with a longer length to hang like they did in the movie.

The helmet like all the other Marines,have added mics to them as well.

Well I hope you like this last figure to be done from the movie. really think this head makes the difference.

Ja

Opps! You'll need to edit the text of your links. I had to remove [/IMG before I could see your efforts.

Once I did that it worked perfectly. Nice work!

Nice work, you even have the tiny sweat band on his wrist.

But I have to ask, how did they shrink the McFarlane head?

Thank`s very much mate. I appreciate the kind words :D
The touches were a neccessity I think :D LOL

As for the head,the shrinking process is some sort of hydro stuff,sorry all beyond me mate. I don`t cast.
All I know is you make a cast of the full size with this hydro stuff & let it dry out & as it does it shrinks. You stop the process when it`s where you want it.

Then you make an actual cast of the shrunk piece & there you go.

If you PM/email the guy who did the shrinking,he can help you too goodtogocustoms.com/forum...board=13.0
he`s in the US too BTW.
