The color is great! It looks metallic blue in some pics and metallic greenish in others, like you used a pearlescent paint.

Very gribbly! And she's really channeling the Ripley vibe, nice fig, reminds me of some of the old i-kore Viridian females.

Update "Wigourney" Straps.

@ Dave, Thank you sir, I do love how the paint came out so far.

@ Graven. Thank you.

So added some straps to Wig, as is necessary, thought please

your bug looks poisonous, and deadly and like an open wound in parts... *shudders* very well done!

as for wigourney... those straps that was needed... personaly i wouldn´t have done it in GS but rather with thin PC...but that is just preferrence...

awesome mister!

Update: Please look and leave a comment, looking for criticism here.

So this is getting close to it, and I would very much appreciate as much feedback as possible, if you see anything glaringly off please point it out.

Here's the pics.

Couple more for laughs....#





Cheers

Y'know I almost suggested adding a flare somewhere. Good osl work.

Good job. I can't add anything.
[whisper]You are going to paint the edges of the base to make it look tidy aren't you?[/whisper]

I'm having a bit of trouble seeing the detail on her web gear. Perhaps some more highlights, or maybe even using something other than black for other shadows?

I know it's picky, but maybe paint the base a solid color, not the top of the base, but the sides. The striations of the foam or whatever it is you used keep drawing my attention away from an otherwise great Mosel/diorama

i like the amo on her straps!...

and as you practically ask for pickyness...

when will you fix the sides of the base?...that is something that unnerves me each time i see pics of your wonderful dio...!

the eye of the biglady by the way is a piece of beauty... she looks so mean...and the birthing orifice is yucky beyond comparrision...it even dribbles...

Here you go guy's thanks...

Should I paint it? Tempted to do it black marble. Or steel with rivets.

Anyways pics

and...much better looking now^^

WOW

Great job on the diorama mate!
I really like the colors on the "Alien", they're spot on.

RIVETS!

Has to be rivets! Birthing canal is vile

Amazing work dude, that is a bad-ass scene no mistake, and the detail on the ground is just crazy

My call is to leave the base edges plain black otherwise it could detract from the overall diorama... Just my two pennies worth.

Thank you guys,

Sorry Ruglud, wish I had read that a bit earlier.......

Ah, heck - what do i know... It looks great, and you can't hold a riveteer back.

"All for Rivets and Rivets for all ! "

Great work on the sides, the rivets look great and h metallic pain job sells it well.

It does look great! the frame around the edges made so much difference.

but i must say that i'm not really fond of the metallic look of the alien. though you have made it really cool looking like pealish but for me it seems abit off that it would be shiny like that.. but then again. the aliens in the film are shiny as hell covered in all the "slime" and stuff so never mind. ;D
well, that's just my personal point of view.

other than that every thing looks just amazing. wigorney is spot on too imho

Yes!!!! Base now is a fitting match for the awesome scene above. The metalic look on the sides is everything I could have hoped for!

Good work Cam. Edging looks great.

DiDDe: In a lot of the books the aliens are described as looking metallic black.
Just a little nugget of information.

OH! i didn't know that.
in that case it looks great then.
carry on and ignore my comment!

Not a lot of people know that...

Doesn't make your opinion wrong in any way though.

You inspired a game company to finally put out alien models again. If you haven't seen the rumors over in the N&R section, Prodos Games (THe current makers of Warzone) have leaked a few pics of their licensced Aliens vs. Predator with colonial marines thrown in. Nothing super official, but they have stated they only do lisenced work . There should be a Kickstarter soon for it.

Thanks guys.

Ok update,

Done some detail on Wigourney.




Hope you like.

Please leave a thought.

Thank you so much for your feedback, really gives me a buzz that people are actually looking.

really gives me a buzz that people are actually looking.

hey! no need for that kinda talk! looks awesome and the whole theme can be only as awesome as you think it up...eh?...see? faltless reasoning on my part

tho...i gottta ask... are you attempting OSL with the torch?...or has wigourny some nasty burns?

Attempting OSL, but not sure.

Wigurney takes on the beast

She's improving all the time, keep at it.

looks good.

about the osl, i would say make a light drybrush on the entire side of her. or where the light would hit. right now it looks like vik said.

Ok here goes,

with and then with out flash.
