It’s an awesome job! The casting in particular, but the hive wall is generally not as goopy or random as people think. It’s made of lots of cable piping, and a latticework of specific varied holes and alien-like ridges or more piping. It’s very specific.
EXACTLY!! if the expanding foam wasn't so, expandy and goopy I think I could have really worked in the patterns! with a lot of time i and patience I think hand-sculpting the on top of foam would really make it look accurate! OH I even considered making an a Xeno hidy-hole, but the neca AVP Xenos are soooooo big it would have taken a lot of room from the rest of the display!
ARF Regardless, it’s a very good job and the cocooned marine casting is a perfect addition! I’m rendering and 3d printing the Hadleys Hope corridor and junction. I hope it turns out as good as yours!
I did the expanding foam thing and painted it. When spraying the stuff, the foam came out in larger amounts than I thought. Still looked good in the end.
Thank you so much for this, I've been looking for an affective way to make the hive and this is by far the best way that is perhaps a little easier. The diorama is going great and it starting to look really good so I really can't thank you enough for sharing your ideas, and the video was shot in a really fun way.
@@ARFed lol, well it paid off!! I prolly found that way more funny that it really is coz I was basically raised on Tarantino films but eh, glad I found your channel!!
your Alien Diorama turned out great, and also gave me a few ideas for the one I want to make so thanks a bunch. main difference with mine is I have a lot more space to work with, the shelf I'm going to use is [19 inches tall X 38 inches long X 11.25 inches deep] and the other thing I'm going to be doing differently is instead of Neca I'm going to be using Hiya Toys, I personally prefer Hiya to Neca because Hiya are both cheaper and smaller so the shelf can hold more of them. haven't started on it yet cuz I'm working on other Dioramas first, but I hope it turns out well when I get to it.
ughhh I wish I could have gotten into hiya instead of Neca, they keep releasing bangers and the scale is great for building, Best of luck out there let me know how it turns out!!
I got the same predator, an alien soldier and a gundam EZ8. Found this video looking for ideas, got 90% of the materials you used plus some skewers and chip board to make railings and a coms hutch. Hobby Lobby had some paper mache eggs I'm gonna try my hand at making (Alien) eggs and they also have these rc mini tanks (little fuckers are quick) for $12 that I'm gonna kit bash with some dollar tree accessory packs to make a supply drone for the gundam. After that, it's making energy/electricity effects out of hot glue for an arc style flamethrower (think matrix scene).
I thought this was an awesome build. You could honestly probably turn your whole display stand into a xenomorph infested like building. Cut some doors on the sides, add ladders/stairs, etc. I think it would look cool.
You don't know how bad I want to do that! I have a bunch of Xenos just laying around that need a proper display! I need to get the power-loader for Ripley too if I'm honest!
@@ARFed i just think it would be really cool and would make the display stand stick out even more than it alreasy does, plus a video where you turn a stand into a weyland yutani xenomorph hive facility im sure is to get you a good bit of views. I have a few predators, and i have the wueen and the trilobite, i def need more. Atm im saving up for when they remake the predalien.
Made a huge Aliens diorama I actually have on my channel I plan on completely revamping! Love the content and your comedy, definitely an underrated channel, earned a sub man!
oooo nice!! I really dig the Avp Alien just because I remember paying scalper price for it! the Alpha predator that came is honestly one of my top predators now!
Hii again ARF jeje Can you tell me whats the step (when you are making the copi of the soldier) between Smooth-on Silicone and the art resin? You cover half of the soldier in Silicone to make the mold and then the other half of it , then you put the resine or how do you do it ?
HI! so it depends on what you're making a mold of! if you only need one side/part to look good then you can easily make one just by pouring the silicone mold over that segment with the good side facing up. the bottom would be where you would pour the resin into. if you need the whole object to be cast, then you're gonna have to make a to part mold. (video on "making two-part mold" really help me!) which you cast one side normally and the other side would have an opening where you could pour the resin! I really recommend watching a fast video just so you can get some good visuals! GOOD LUCK!!
@@ARFed thank you so much! You are so great man jeje really thank you for all the info! I hope you make more videos about dioramas like a alien VS predator temple jaja Support from Spain!!!
If you have problems with pealing paint either you’re not priming, sealing or both! Always prime before painting! This helps the paint stick! I used acrylics ink for the paint since they don’t leave brush lines, and finally use a Matte sealer to keep things from peeling!
Thanks!! I got it off Amazon a really long time ago, they're aquarium flooring, they were pretty cheap. if anything your local aquarium shop could have some
Thank you for watching! my grandma used to live in Spain for quite a while! oh and the soldier was an old Neca colonial marine figure. the blue mold was "Smooth-on Silicone" and to make the actual copy I used "Art resin", But any resin works! thanks for the support!
@@dustrock766 YEAH! I have an Instagram but i don't post too much. It's @arf_ed. And I would make a video but I'm not very good at making molds hahaha. they're always missing a leg or an arm! ill make one as soon as i get good at it haha
I was legit thinking about something similar not too long ago! but I used my dutch figure for part a while back so I need my hand on a new one! especially now that he made an appearance as an older version of dutch in the new predator hunting grounds it totally revived the character for me.
Where do you get those particular action figures from? I'm sure they're expensive if you know a site that sells them for the lowest price possible share it with me if you could please thank you.
I got most of them when they first came out, either from target or back when toysrus was a thing, but I've always found ebay has a lot of good deal every now and again!
@@MrCharphead yeah! every Alien/ predator figure I own is from Neca! There's another company doing alien and predator figure at an ever-smaller scale but they have an even larger selection, I don't own any from them but they seem pretty cool. they're called Hiya toys

so do your toes, Mr. cat. so do your toes.
Great use of expanding foam 👍👍
Thanks!! honestly I'm surprised I hadn't used it sooner. That stuff is amazing!
It was as much fun to see you build the dio as it was to hear your humor, dude. Good stuff. Subz.
Thanks!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

That ended up looking good. Nice casting. Do some walls or a wall…maybe. Great work.
I did the expanding foam thing and painted it. When spraying the stuff, the foam came out in larger amounts than I thought. Still looked good in the end.
Oooo I feel that! I had to practice on some scrap before hand! But still, it’s always a lot more than I realize hahah
I think your painting is great keep up the work

this content is immaculate
You're immaculate ;^)
You use plastic dip for the hive base ?
This craft was fun with your creativity and your incredible humour 😄 ...
YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME CRY, BUB
Thanks
The "creche" is what the alien hive is ;)
Oooooooh! The more you know!
Great craft , you inspire me , wow !
When you spray painted the foam black, was it gloss or matt? Was the plastic dip a paint or primer?
kin love it Brus......(L.329,C91,Sub.460)
The Tarantino joke fuckn killed me bro

Brilliant work mate! I’m a bit like you where I’m not really a modeller and not great at painting, I do things by trial and error,but great work!
that's how we get through life, One step at a time!

Sick Asf man
THANKS THANKS
I'm impressed ! This might motivate me to try to do some diorama
THANKS! & I TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT! It’s a really good time!!
What materials can expanding foam stick to? Plastics, foam or cardboard?
Everything and anything!! It’s super sticky so be carful to not get it on clothes or carpet! I learned from experience HAHAHAH
years ago I made the fish great flooring For my aliens. They came out really well
They work so well right?! I was debating wether to throw my last piece out but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
Are you going to make a predator diorama ?
@@titanocreations3244 just for you, ill do it.
Awesome work man. What is that aquarium floor grid thing called?
I have the red alien queen and the big crown part fell off and had to go and glue it back on today☹️
OH NO, THAT A BIG PART. don't worry though you'd be surprised just how durable the glue can be A lot of my figures have parts that just fall of hahaha
Incredible hive build. Would you make another hive dio?
Oh definitely! Especially now that I had a chance to mess around with the expanding foam and plasti dip, I think I could definitely make it better
Very nice 👌
Also Broken Tusks Predator name is Dachande. He too is my favourite 👀
WOWOWOWOW deep lore! He's such a badass
@@ARFed Hell yeah man. He's by far my most favourite predator. 😎👌
Where does one get nice grates online?
I got them off Amazon like 5 years ago hahah! But search up aquarium grate flooring, I'm sure you'll find something!
What kinds of paint did you use: Acrylic or Enamel. Did you use primer aswell?
I did a layer of plastidip for the primer and acrylic for the rest!
I got the same predator, an alien soldier and a gundam EZ8. Found this video looking for ideas, got 90% of the materials you used plus some skewers and chip board to make railings and a coms hutch.

THAT'S SICK, Sounds like it's time to start building, so le me know how it turns out

Damn I woulda bought that grate flooring 😢
HAHAHA don’t even start! It took around 5 year to finally use em all up.
What is your favourite neca alien and predator? For me it’s the Big Chap (series 2, classic or nostromo wave 3) and City Hunter (Masked).
oooo nice!! I really dig the Avp Alien just because I remember paying scalper price for it! the Alpha predator that came is honestly one of my top predators now!
Make some Star Wars things all right geez
But but, I'm lazzyyy. Okay i do want make a the emperors throne room from episode 6. I have the black series chair and it really needs a display

@@dustrock766 Thanks for the support friend!!
is that black plasti dip?
YES, Black plasti dip might be one of my favorite sprays now, its great for making things looks professional and uniform.
What paint did you use and how do you secure it so it doesn’t get on figures
If you have problems with pealing paint either you’re not priming, sealing or both!
Always prime before painting! This helps the paint stick! I used acrylics ink for the paint since they don’t leave brush lines, and finally use a Matte sealer to keep things from peeling!
What did you use for the flooring?
I bought these aquarium flooring pieces from Amazon a while back try googling aquarium floor grate
Where did you get the grates for the floor. Great video bye the way
Thanks!! I got it off Amazon a really long time ago, they're aquarium flooring, they were pretty cheap.
if anything your local aquarium shop could have some
Hi Arf ! What do you use for make the molde of the soldier? Thank you! Suport from Spain! xd
