MODELS, TOYS, ACTION FIGURES: SNAILIEN Vs PREDATOR - TONIGHT, WE DINE IN SHELL!!
THE REALLY SLOW FOOD EXPERIENCE...
The Predator carries the Hunt to the storage hold of an Interstellar Escargot freighter.....
Whether he wins glory, death or is even forced to retreat to the starship's escape gastropods one fact remains immutable.
In space, no one can hear you slime.

Another silly photoshoot that's actually been on my shot list for some time.
A nice rainy day lured in plenty of live extras and I also dressed the set with a box full of untenanted snail shells that I've been collecting. I staged the shoot on top of our light box with a bit of cellophane on top of it overlaid with a sheet of dyed plastic backed netting. I also used a couple of small battery powered L.E.D lights for fill.
The action figure is one of the spin-off toys from the rather unfortunate Alien Versus Predator : Requiem movie. I've loaned him the spear and helmet from my She-Predator Hot Toy figure. (Do NOT tell Machiko!!) Poor bloke had to have a bath after the photoshoot though, absolutely covered in snail slime...
There was a high nostalgia factor in this set up, as the first stop animated movie I made back in High School involved snailiens.
What a hoot to revisit the concept after all these years!
Although I reckon it's a just a little bit sci-fi using a digital instead of a Super-8 film camera and Photoshop editing instead of a razor blade and sticky tape!
(No snails were squished in the process of making this picture.)
