Project: Alien Hospital

Thanks!

I wish a could have posted a update past Sunday, but I've been quite busy. But today i made "a small step for a man, but a giant step for a alien" :p

As you might remember there were a few steps to be done before i could start painting the head. I've done that 2 weeks ago, and today i was able to paint it.

Here you can see his head and top together, fitted with clay offcourse.

I supposed it would be nice if there is some pattern in the clay. So i did some engraving (quite boring, it took ages). And sanded it to get it nice and smooth.

My girl agrees: boring! She decided to play a game. :lick:

After some mixing and testing i made this color, it will be the base for the alien skin.

Finished his teeth. I wanted them a little bit more yellow, i reached that by adding a little bit of yellow by the clear coat. Teeth's are now dirty & blinking. :)

Let's put it together. I also attached a RVS tube because i found out his neck was a bit small compared to the rest of his body.

Intruder!!! The little cat decided to enter my modding garage. And offcourse, trying to irritate me by biting on cables etc.

Some clay added to create his mouth.

Well, that's it.....
For 2 weeks ago, here is the rest:

After sanding his mouth i added the first layer of paint.

These pictures were made after the green, red and brown paint. While painting a saw many small scratches etc. with were hardly visible before painting. I've been sanding enough so i kept it that way. A human skin isn't perfect either.

His eye lace is done.

I put some darker green in the patterns on the top.

And airbrushed some brown too.

Here's 1 large image, because the details are hardly visible at the pictures above:
click!

That's it, I'm very satisfied with the result. 8)
Last to do with his head is adding a clear coat. I've been testing with clear coats in my airbrush, but the result was far away from acceptable. So i might give it a try with a normal spray can. Should work without problems.

BTW, 107 pictures in this topic so far, i guess that's been reached in +/- 80hours of modding. It would might be funny to see how many hours i will spend up at this case so i'm tring to count them. This update took me about 8,5 hours.

wow. i love the paint job on the alien, its not just one color of green. Nice job keep it up and it will turn out to be a great case. :D

Wow man, this is getting better and better. I can't wait to see this turn into a case!

Thanks, i hope to keep updating regular like the past weeks. Then the case will come soon. But having the project finished will take about 1 year i guess. Also because i always have some other small modding projects etc.

Oops, forgot to say that i have a possible solution for the blood colored liquid: red wine.
AFAIK this has a bloody red color, without parts that will sink to the bottom, and won't change color after month's. (well, it doesn't when it's in a bottle)

THAT IS ART !!!

damn, and I thought it looked good in the grey-ish color...

very good job!!!

:D :D :D
PS, did you know you're living +/- 7KM away from the alien?

OMG !!! My neighbour is an alien!!!

anyways, when it's finished, is there any chance I might see it somewhere in real life (or dead, or half alive...)???

keep it up!
