ALIEN 79 Translucent variant - 1:18 scale. Finished forming a new dome for the variant this evening smile emoticon There will be some paint application to this piece to offer more "meat on the bone" so to speak. ‪#‎alien‬ ‪#‎concept‬ ‪#‎neca‬ ‪#‎giger‬ ‪#‎vacuumforming‬
Always wanting to make more work for myself and not let things be, I noticed while watching ALIEN the other night a sort of tapered edge going across the center of the creature's dome. This is easily seen when the beast is at rest on the Narcissus....just before it strikes out it's hand at Ripley. So, whatta ya gonna do.....Had to make some adjustments to my dome sculpt and vacuum form some samples. Will I be replacing the domes already painted?....Heck no! I love them...but, an alternate dome wouldn't hurt right? I know....I'm ridiculous. Anyway, enjoy my ghetto vacuum form station set up in the back of my truck bed...hey, when you don't have a huge work studio, you do what ya gotta do to create something. LOL! Images were taken with my smartphone so apologies about the quality on some of them... ‪#‎alien‬ ‪#‎vacuumforming‬ ‪#‎dome‬ ‪#‎sculpting‬ ‪#‎nostromo‬
Usually the first attempt at a new alien dome would require at least one adjustment so that the dome "snaps" into place....This time though, success straight from the gate!!! This dome snaps perfectly onto the alien head and hugs the contours just underneath.
Images you see here are of both the master sculpt and initial cast with domes attached. I increase the tones in the images so you can see the shell of the clear dome.
More images to come as I continue with the inner jaw and tendons - am thrilled this step in the vac forming was the only step needed. :) #alien #aliencovenant #protomorph #xenomorph #vacuumforming #PETG #dome #sculpting #success

A shot through the visor. Nice and clear, no dusting or hazing. BlindSquirrel does some damn fine work!

Calvin is in the final stages of manufacture of component parts for his lamp model. He will be using polystyrene to create a hemispherical dome for the top of his lamp. This will emerge from a hole cut out of pine 'furniture board' and this in turn will enable the dome to attach to the central cylindrical form of the bottom part of the lamp. This central cylinder is made from aluminium sheet which has been pop rivited together. Seven holes have been drilled around the circumference of the aluminium and these will accomodate nylon spikes that have been turned on the metalwork lathe. These will be attached using epoxy resin adhesive. These spikes have been counter-bored with a step drill so that the light will be transmitted along the nylon to the end of the spike. An energy efficient bulb and holder will be mounted on a wooden base at the bottom of the aluminium section.
Calvin has worked extremely hard over the last few weeks and has easily risen to each and every challenge that his concept has generated along the way.
Even the creation of the mdf former created issues by Calvin persevered with steely determination and kep at it until he was satisfied with the results. Good work, looking forward to seeing the completed model.

Lurwah's VacuForm vacuum forming machine is working quite well and produced these moulds.
We made a few videos of the actual vacuum forming of these objects: preparing the machine, vacuum forming and end result.

A sample of the work done in the Communication Design class- Packaging Design. Students were asked to name, storytell, and repackage an existing multi-function all-in-one utility tool. They also vacuum formed their own packages.
