Just mucking around with some pieces and they looked a bit like a chestburster. I couldn't find enough hollow white bits to bulk up the torso, but it kinda looks like it.
Rounds out my Alien builds I guess ;)
We all have those days. You get in from a busy day at work - with a stomach ache, might I add - sit down to eat your dinner and would you believe it? A chestburster. Not another one. And then, as your horrified wife asks if you meant to keep that monster, you explain to her that you'd wanted one for a while and would be forever indebted to her if she let you keep it, and that you're a bit preoccupied to be having this conversation right now.

This is inspired by Micah Beideman's fantastic Crestburster. I loved it so much and wanted to have one. This is what I came up with the parts I have. No blueberry jam, only strawberries!

The egg is based on Missing Brick's design and the Facehugger on Tim Lydy's design (although this one is on a 1x1 plate).

I've wanted to do this for a long time but never got around to doing it. Not crazy about how I lit this so...I think I'll leave the cinematic environmental lighting to Alex Eylar. ;)
Watch this if you don't know what this is from.
Honestly, the things I build sometimes... :-)
Built at the last minute and at great expense for Tommy's "Pimp My Nerdly" contest.
"While some aliens are fast and others are sad
Some aliens are just busy and mad!
They have to work and work all day long.
No one helps them out. No one sings them a song.
These aliens have kids to take care of too!
That's why they hire babysitters like me and YOU!!!"
Ripley: Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo, third officer reporting. The other members of the crew - Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash, and Captain Dallas - are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.

Welcome to the universe, little one...

I took this shot in the windowframe of an abandoned house, covered with spider web. The subject is a chestburster from the Neca Ultimate Big Chap action figure, which I coated in ketchup to simulate blood.
A BTS video of this shot can be found on my Instagram account, @balance_in_the_toys

I remember back when my xenomorph was just a little nymph, violently erupting from Kane's chest cavity.
My Alien layout at Fana'briques 2016 displaying :
- the xenomorph made by the Arvo Brothers with its book on a self made stand,
- the chestburster made by the the Arvo Brothers rebuilt using a few pictures,
- the facehugger with its egg (www.flickr.com/photos/77709542@N06/27773801185/),
- a mosaic of the Alien's head.
The facehugger is a parasitoid; its only purpose is to make contact with the host's mouth for the implantation process, by gripping its long, bony finger-like legs around the victim's head and wrapping its tail around the host's neck, then slowly tightening the tail in order to make the host gasp for oxygen and be rendered unconscious. By this point, the facehugger will have inserted a tube-like proboscis into the mouth and down the throat of the host, supplying the host with oxygen while implanting an embryo. Attempts to remove facehuggers generally prove fatal—the parasite will squeeze the host's neck with its tail, while the facehugger's highly acidic blood deters cutting it off. Not only this, but its grip is so firm, peeling it off would result in tearing off the host's face. In Aliens, a number of facehuggers are observed in stasis and accompanying medical notes indicate that at least one of the human hosts died during removal. However, it is also seen in the same film that it is possible to remove the facehugger if it is grabbed before it can make contact with the subject's face, although it takes considerable strength to pull it away. Over time, a facehugger's outer epidermis becomes solidified and hardened by a chitinous layer of silicon. Once the alien embryo is safely implanted, the facehugger detaches and dies. Later, a larval Xenomorph, known as a Chestburster, will erupt from the host's chest.
Lego facehugger Idea what do you think?
A futuristic Military organization arrives on-site where a highway overpass has alledgedly been "demolished" by some unknown force.
Happy to have had another great year doing one of the things I love most. From working with some amazing artists to stepping out of my comfort zone, 2024 has been a great year for this hobby. Here’s to 2025!
Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror classic ALIEN was first seen by audiences 40 years ago today (May 25th, 1979). Ironically, the world premiere of the movie was at the SIFF film festival in my adopted hometown of Seattle (a festival that I am also attending at the moment). So how could I not recreate this movie in LEGO!
Over the years there have been plenty of LEGO recreations of the various creatures, vehicles and sets from Alien franchise. But for this build I decided to focus on the genre-changing moment when Kane peers into the alien egg! From that point on, screen sci-fi would never be the same again.
