ALIEN 40TH ANNIVERSARY BUILD - ¼ Scale Crouching Alien

[Tiger2]

A great kit of an iconic creature design, this build has been both a trial by fire and a labour of love,
very happy to see it finally completed!

Many thanks for everyone who followed along with my ranting on the work bench.

WOW! That came out amazingly beautiful. Looks like the intense labor of love that it is and definitely a piece to be proud of. Paul, you do and outstanding job with each one as well as doing a great play by play description of the process you're using.....so ever thought of doing a buildup article for AFM? I'll bet Terry Webb would really enjoy displaying your expertise!

Just my 2 cents worth.

Crumbs Stuart, very kind of you, What can I say, I don't share your confidence, I'd certainly have to brush up on my photography!

The photos look pretty good to me Paul, certainly good enough for illustrating your exceptional painting skills to the rest of us here
I wholeheartedly agree with Stewart and think that this or any of your other build up threads would make for a superb article in a future AFM issue.

Don't know how I missed the build tread but it was great.

Once again you have outdone yourself. While I like the entire build, I especially like how the head is painted under the dome!

So awesome all the way around. I especially loved the walkthrough thread.
