i'm not sure which helmets look best. i really like the scout so it's between the cast helmet and lego atat driver? for the #2 spot.
lego

scout








the 4 helmets. the real stormtrooper will be kept for an alien relic or swap in.

xenomorph specimens

My vote is for the scout trooper and the unknown helmet.

Those xenomorphs are insane!

thanks i appreciate the feedback! i think i am leaning that way too.

the little xeno's have been done a long time. spec gave me the megablocks figure and i used it on the xeno hawk and xeno dog. the dog was inspired by the kids movie planet 51, i went much bigger and scarier though. i do want some ko lego xeno heads for a smaller dog.

Xeno dog, I bet he plays fetch with human heads.....

i've been trying to knock out these guys. they are just too cute, too clothed, and too big. for someone who doesn't believe in them i sure have been making a bunch this year. i blame spec mostly!

i built thumbs on the dino paws with steel pins and hot glue. i have done paint/wash/dry brush ,lift off paint, wash and repeat. all the glre in their eyes is from the light and not painted in.

first here they are with their jump suites still red.


a couple with the filters turned up



then where they are now with silver/black jump suites. also some shade/highlites to try and give subtle unique faces.


filters up


w/destro for scale

i am not sure that i like them any more silver than red. what do you guys think? i don't want them to look star wars or trek, but more 1950's ish.

Hehehe, if you scroll through your post quickly it´s like those aliens are dancing.

I think the red looks best on them.

thanks tim! i'm weighing weather to strip them back to red, or call them done for now! i kept those red pics incase i wanted to use them for the gallery entry........
