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!

PostPosted: Mon Apr 16, 2007 4:48 pm 
Just saw this over on the RPF, holy cats! 1:1 silicone bust.

Hair might be a little long and off a shade or two, and the skin needs a little shading, but this kicks all kinds of ass.

Here's the thread for those of you able to see it.

The guy who made that had a work in progress thread over on Sci-fi military. It was awesome seeing it come along to what it is now. Very talented guy.

'wilysteve' sent me a bunch of pics a couple months back as he was nearing completion.

Obviously I was floored by them.
Great talent.
Great sculpt.

I saw one of these on eBay a few months ago and grabbed the photos from the auction.
It wasn't the armor, just the naked bust.

I was and still am really impressed!!

I might have asked you before...

But, has Michael Biehn seen this?

Jawdropping work . . . the likeness is incredible!!

Yeah if Michael Biehn saw this he would trip out and maybe commission one for himself :)

Its hard to comment on his hair because I have noticed that his haircut differed slightly through various parts of the movie. In the mission briefing scene in the hangar bay his hair is pretty much as it is here, but later in the movie after they barracade themselves in, his hair is alot shorter and spiky.

Once again, amazing work!

Michael Biehn hasn't seen it yet and I was actually hoping to show him a copy at MK, but alas....:roll:

Anybody know if hes likely to appear in October?

welshdragontrooper: I know what you mean about the hair, it was very difficult to decide what to go with.

Thanks again everyone!
Steve.
