I put these together quite awhile ago from orbz? I popped open. they make cool little display pieces.





I've been on a real specimen kick lately. I have a ton of the tiny jars/vials plus some really big ones. here are some medium size pieces mostly for fun/display. they could be used far various scales, some even 1:1 (ever need to smuggle a rubber spider!)


all of these alien related tubes have been removed for better display.


more to come

_________________

here are two of the alien critters from above. they are very large scale 12" maybe?

the containers are from Christmas cookie sprinkles with spice jar inserts as a "shelf". the bases are from some confetti pop toys.


with destro for scale.

and as background


I have two t-rex specimens that started as a safari limited lime green set. they were going to be dragon fodder until I saw some dino fetal specimens online.

this little guy may get moved to a larger home. right now he's in an empty thumb tack bottle. I had to adjust his shape some by tying his tail down while heated.



and with some filters


momma is in a glass vase. I also had to tie her up and boil then dip in cold water a couple times to get her in this shape.




I call these the 3 sisters. they are 6-7" scale . I added some hot glue and paint so they show well 360*. they are in sprinkle containers.




again w/destro for scale.

and just a few inches behind


I still have at least ten lighted specimens to photo, plus more custom alien builds to paint.

finally got some pics of my easter egg alien egg cluster.


they might be a tad large, but i only plan to use them in the background, and they were free

got some shots of my 3 favorite specimens so far. the tubes are from christmas tree scent sticks i got on clearance( i have 8). the green tea lights were the cheapest on amazon (and they are made crappier than dollar tree lights). the chrome "caps" are napkin rings. these are dry only.


from l-r : THE PILOT, XENOMORPH SERPENTES, LONG ONE

the XS and LO could be any scale from 1:1 to tiny. TP is larger than a 1:18 figure, but it is unknown how big they are.




THE PILOT is a random torso i got in a lot with a large skull cast that came in a trade. the mask is mcfarlane with a joe tube and dive collar.
XENOMORPH SERPENTES is a 7" xeno tail with a boss fight snake headress and uv glue eyes.
LONG ONE is a halloween rat tail with a faux flower "berry" and the large "teeth" came from a skylander weapon.

thanks spec! i have been putting a lot of time into them with no real plan.

i have more, but i'm not happy with how they are "floated" in place. i used raw hotglue sticks to mount them and it's ugly. i need a looong nosed glue gun !
