"Back From A Trekking"
Cute aliens invading grandpa' postcards.
Simpatici alieni invadono le cartoline del nonno.
What if my hand had only been
extension of an outside reaching in
to work with common means to change me then?
(Robert Creeley)
Nobody imagined that the alien invasion would begin in rural Wexford!!
Part of the windfarm near Kilmuckridge in Co. Wexford. I'm not sure if the photo gives the true scale of the size of these things, They're massive! See the trees for scale. When the tip of the rotor is at its highest point of rotation, the overall structure has a height of approximately 100 metres (330 ft).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From wikipedia:
The windfarm commenced operation in 2005 and has a capacity of 42 MW and consists of 21 gearless E-70 E4 Enercon wind turbines. It is clearly visible from the R742 regional road. Some of the windmills are within a couple of hundred metres of it.
The produced energy in one year is 110 GWh. This equals the yearly consumption of 125,000 people or 31,500 four person households. Within 3.7 months of operation the wind energy converters (WEC) at this site had produced an amount of energy equivalent to that used in their construction and installation, including production of the materials. For the next 20 years the wind farm will be producing electricity without using any resources and without pollution.
The E-70 turbines have rotor diameters of 71 m, so the swept area is 3,959 m². The nacelle, in the hub height of 64 m, is assessable through a ladder within the tower, which is 4.2 m in diameter at the base and 2.9 m at top. The nacelle itself has a diameter of 5m, the height of a two storey building. The turbine rotor spins with a speed between 6 and 21.5 rpm and the rotor hub is directly coupled to the synchronous generator without a gear box for transmission. The turbine switches in at a wind speed of about 2.3 m/s. It reaches its nominal output at a speed of 12.5 m/s, where the pitch system of the rotor blades starts to limit the electrical power output automatically. Above wind speeds of 25 m/s the power output is gradually reduced again until the turbine switches off for protection at about 34 m/s.
The electricity is generated at voltages of around 400 V and up to 2,300 As, and at variable frequency proportional to the variable speed of the rotor. All produced energy is converted into direct current (DC) by a rectifier inside the nacelle and conducted to the inverters located in the bottom of the turbine tower. The inverters modulate the DC into alternating current (AC) with 50 Hz grid-compliant frequency. Each turbine has a transformer inside the tower which transforms the voltage to the 20 kV internal grid voltage of the wind farm. At the tail station, a wind farm transformer increases the voltage to 110,000 V and it is fed into the ESB (national power company) network through 21 km underground cables.
The coastal location is close to Cahore Point on the Irish Sea.

Check out the instructional video walkthrough on my blog if you want learn how to make shots just like this.
The Xenomorph's look certainly changed between films, though that may simply be due to the age of an individual drone.

One of those spinny rides that presses you to the wall inside. The kids loved it. Sue and I had too much spinning that day.
Spotted in Winkle Street in Old Town Southampton a modified street sign. Plenty more of the unique 'faces' along the walls here too, attributed to Street artist J_Ace.
Stardate 1130.11. The crew of the USS Enterprise encounters hostile beings from an advanced civilization. After the Enterprise is fired upon, Lieutenant Chekov launches photon torpedoes and the alien craft is destroyed.
The aliens landed and began offloading the Geo Metros so that they could enslave the human race with a very fuel efficient attack.

Great Movie Ride
Alien
This is "Alien". You are with Sigourney Weaver aboard the spaceship Nostromo. Something has gone wrong. One by one, the crew has vanished, and somewhere in the ship, a terrifying creature waits to claim its next victim. Warning! Remain in your vehicle. The area you are entering is extremely dangerous. Proceed with caution!
By far the most difficult portion of this ride to photograph.
Paint progress on "The Beast "- ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Moving right along with the paint apps to the head sculpts. I have multiple head sculpts made for the creature and several for the beast from Alien: Isolation. Many have made their opinions known about whether or not the skull should be seen through the front of the dome. In my next blog entry, I will elaborate my thoughts about when it should..and when it should not be shown and how it has influenced my choices when painting the head sculpts. More to come as always!!! ‪#‎alien‬ ‪#‎nostromo‬ ‪#‎giger‬ ‪#‎painting‬
From Hello Cupcake Cookbook. Duncan is taking these into school to celebrate hs 7th birthday. I hope his teacher serves them at the end of the day because the 2 dozen cupcakes used 4 containers of frosting. Yikes!!
And Finally some Aliens, now go buy the book ;)
It’s got a very nice chapter by SlyOwl ( www.flickr.com/photos/27444109@N04/) , so you really should get a copy.
Special thanks to Laura and Nathan.

The second of two semi-static posed figures is complete. This version depicts the creature as it appears in the deleted "crab-walker" scene from the 1979 film as Lambert and Parker make a desperate attempt to escape the Nostromo. This deleted scene however was thought comical by many, not well executed on film and revealed too much of the creature...reducing it to nothing more than a man in a rubber suit...something Ridley Scott was avoiding by using smoke and shadow.
Hand sculpted, hand painted. 1:18 scale. I borrowed resin cast parts from the original Alien figure I created a year earlier, made modifications to the torso, neck, shoulders
and legs.
When crouched or "crab walking", the figure is approx. 3" high from highest point on head to the feet. When standing, the figure is approx. 5.25" high, still not fully erect as the leg and hip joints limit the full motion (again, this was originally meant to be a static posed figure). Fortunately I was able to add several articulation points to the figure: Ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. Vacuum formed PETG dome is removable. The tail is static but is attached using a revoltech joint and can be switched out with a longer tail option.
Original was sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt, a two part epoxy. Parts were cast in resin and assembled to build this version. Used Model Masters Polly Scale and Tamiya acrylics.
