Re: Project: Alien Hospital
The grill will be acting like a window yes, but it doesn't need acryl. It can both act like an intake/outtake hole and window.
Intergrating the veins into the watercooling would be difficult. Those small tubes would dramaticaly increase the flow resistance.
But i can make it look like it's in a watercooling circuit. Just a pump, reservoir and some sci-fi looking parts around it. (like its a machine for adding oxigen to blood.) When the water or blood, just how you wanted to call it, is flowing it will be prevented of sinking to the bottom of the reservoir and form a residue.
Re: Project: Alien Hospital
i think if you just add some red food colouring to water you could achieve the colour. it would be cool if you made the veins part of the water cooling system. if you did, you could get some u/v green coolant, and then put u/v leds in various spots to make it glow.

update
It has been a while ago, but i've got a nice update for you:
I was planning to make veins on tha alien's body. But it didn't worked out great, because the air-drying clay didn't hold well on the alien his body. (that problem will return in a later stadium :( ). But i had already made some gaps with the dremel. So i decided to make this .... wound (don't know all the english words hehe) instead of veins, to fill up the gaps. After sanding and painting i guess it looks good.
Offcourse the alien needs 2 arms, this is his right arm including use of the RVS tubes. This arm will be laying on his body, the left arm in some kind of bracket/bracing because there will be a open wound in it.
After baking the right arm and claying the left arm:
This photo and the following ones are made with my new Canon 400D instead of a fuji S5500, such an inprovement! Need to fine-tune some settings etc. and i'm planning to make a small photostudio with good light conditions. I like casemodding and i like photographing them, so that was 1 of the reasons for a new camera.
The left hand/arm is not final, it needs to be much smoother before baking, but that will take quite some time with those small fingers and details. I still considering to ad the same nails on the left hand, but maybe a small saw blade in it would look good either because i think it's nicer to have 2 hand's with both different "weapons".
Re: Project: Alien Hospital
WoW ! nice work ! looking forward to the final results !

Re: Project: Alien Hospital
wicked mouse i couldent find it till you said which it was
Re: Project: Alien Hospital
man you're doin good. where's the hospital? lol
Re: Project: Alien Hospital
Thanks :D
The hospital will be made when the alien is (almost) finished.
My previous project was supposed to be a case with some spider web's and a spider on the side. But it never came that far, because it took so much time to create the spider. So it's a case with spider webs but no spider :( Due to that i decided to change the building process and start with the alien instead of the case.
