Morikun, that is looking so amazing! Question for you, where did you get the mold you're making your eggs from? It looks awesome and I would love to add some to my bases as well. On a positive note, I recieved my ball end tools yesterday and have started on the bases for the queen and pretorian. So far so good, I think its finally time to bust out the gloss coat! I've got some slimy infestations going on!

So I couldn't wait to paint my AVP Aliens (been waiting over 2 years after all).
Here's my test paintjob for the Xenomorph
Really simple letting the beautiful mini do the work, just drybrushed, washed and the done painted in gloss varnish.
I went for metal claws to match the teeth, but I'm not sure this is movie accurate (my Google fu showed both)
Really nice job Joe love the gloss effect, neat hazard stripes on the base as well may need to steal that idea!
Morikun think you are really channelling the spirit of HR Giger with some of your stuff, that chest burster is disgusting! But looks just right, looking forward to seeing the secret project. Maybe hide Jonesy the cat in amongst that terrain?
Joe, your alien looks awesome! I think that you should stick with the metal claws, they look great!
Morikun, could you do us all a favor and try being less fricken awesome! Sheesh, hows a guy supposed to even attempt to compete with your stuff! (Just kidding, your stuff is truly inspiring, and has made me realize how much I have to step my game up!) That chestburster is great, but I think its missing a top hat... I can't wait to see what your special project is, these teases are looking simply amazing!

Thank you very much I wonder what you'll think after seeing my secret project...
Morikun- that chestburster looks "fresh" and disgusting!
Thank you very much !! ^^

??? Well, I'm very very honoured by your kind words but I know my painting level and I know that I'm not so good you say
My paintjob is not difficult (drybrushes + ink + gloss varnish) and that's why I post my "step by step sessions" in my Temple to show it.
Last but not least : some friends of mine are many much more awesome than me ^^'
I hope my secret project will please you !!
That chestburster is great, but I think its missing a top hat...
But ? He's got one !! Don't you see it ? Damned !! It has fallen !!
And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce my very last official AVP Alien mini (as prodos still make me wait for the official facehuggers) : my drooling Predalien !!!
Awesome work all round Morikun. As others have said, the drool effect is fantastic and I'll have to give it a try when I get round to painting mine. Looking forward to your next update
@Morikun, Damn! That is amazing! When I get home, I'm going to have to check out your temple, its been a while. That is one hell of an awesome peice! Seriously, wow! And you say, you're not that good, right... If you aren't already, you need to turn this into a revenue stream! Congrats on another amazing piece!

I missed the KS, but I just got a deal on the box set at Miniature Markets brick and mortar retail store (it's 2 miles from my home).
Spoiler:
60% off because of box damage.
corner of the box was damaged, but only damage done inside was to the cardboard that surrounds the boardgame tiles.
