ALIEN-WARRIOR35
Completed castings of the upper torso for the Alien Warrior - ALIEN 86 - 1:18 scale. Molds came out great for each piece, and the castings reflect that. No problems - which surprises me for all the complexity but enough venting in the right places makes for happy resin castings. The "pipes" are casts taken from my 79 Alien, attached temporarily using some wax clay. I will also be using the lower torso sculpt from the 79 beast for the warrior...no need for a do over in the sculpting department.
I see why toy companies like to reuse parts..saves money and time (as long as they are used properly). Want to begin working on the arms soon. Cast using Smooth On Smooth Cast 320. May begin using a different, stronger Smooth-on casting material soon. #alien #aliens #xenomorph #casting #resin #smoothon #hive #actionfigure
