ALIEN-296-SQUATTING-ALIEN
Paint progress on The Beast: Airshaft - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale.
I know it's been awhile - believe me. Nobody is more happy than I to get back to some figure work. It's been a crazy few weeks but I've finally found some time to invest in a piece I started a few years back.
A recap...This is a static posed figure...well, more semi-static. There's articulation in the neck, shoulders, elbows and wrists. The dome is vacuum formed from PETG plastics that can snap on and off the length of the cranium. The figure can fit in the palm of your hand to give you an idea of scale. I have this piece and the "crab walker" which are variants from my original fully articulated sculpt of the Giger beast.
I'd like to try one, possibly two more static posed versions of the creature - the "box alien" as seen in the illustrated adaptation of the film and possibly a hanging version as seen before Brett's demise in the landing bay.
Much of what you see is stylized, I get it - reason?...Because at the moment, most of the figure has been painted with a flat back coat...and visually that's boring. Would have to blow it out with a strobe to get that detail and for right now I don't think it's necessary,
Only the head and arms have been detailed but not complete. Just had some fun with the camera/mood effects this time around. More to come! I have time to work on this and the "crab walker" for a bit this weekend! YAY! #alien #alien79project #giger #airshaft #nostromo #painting #acrylics
