When I look at the woman’s colour scheme I’m reminded of the colour choices used for the animated Star Trek series. The fellow responsible for the colour selection was big into pink, purple and green if I remember right. Also, he wasn’t really very colour blind, he just liked them.
Although I am not into figures that much I really love the results here. This Island Earth is one of my all-time favourite films (just behind Forbidden Planet - I got the reference 😁). The girl's wide eyes are absolutely appropriate for this scene and in fact really make the piece. Looks like you have got an entry for next year's Wonderfest! 👍 I think I may have to have one of the mentioned movies on in the background in my hobby shed this afternoon 😀
Gorgeous paint work as always, you really have an eye for colors. I have fond memories of poring over photos of the Metaluna Mutant in Famous Monsters with my friends.
Recapitator! An exciting new franchise from Miramax! And it worked-- she looked really good. From some angles she looked frightened, from others like she was anxious about how the date was going. Still -- a good new policy; to get in there on that face and get out. I do think you've captured the Faith Demargue pebble-in-shoe face as she tries to move faster than that thing from another planet. I did enjoy seeing the color-changers, uh, change colors when you showed them off. I can offer up ideas now, knowing that you will get out your copy of "It's My Party" with the DJ Dalmaso re-mix lyrics, "It's My Model," by saying you did not need that dusting of shadows or plate delineator black. Just didn't need it. It looks like that's where the floor-cleaning Mew-Tant got lazy. Go 'head-- cue the record. The space gal pose was a nice 50s sci-fi comic blend of Frazetta with a patented Wally Wood pouch belt. The result is that she looks like she was goosed by a rather fresh Mew-Tant. Which is par for the course from something much like our insect-- only larger, more intelligent. Your only flaw, Mr. Dalmaso, is that you did not show us the effect of your re-do of the stretchy alien pants. *My* grumbled wish for kit improvements is only to provide more opportunity for up-lighting. Going to the trouble of providing clear glass brick which works pretty good for the Mew-Tant, but the gal is left in the dark-- well, if only. I know, a base that's two feet long. Okay, so I don't have a better design. Just grumblin' right?
@@PeWeeHermanUK interesting. How much would you pay for just the mutant? Cuz you don't have to build the gal if you don't want. Or find someone who wants to just build her and split the cost.
Another great build. And you've created a new highly technical term, "Squirty Paint Thing". Love it. Yes, the eyes work great. Hubert "Hump-frey" is an excellent name for the mutant. When are you going to do Ash from "Evil Dead" that's in the background?
@@robertherriges6807 probably never. I bought it at Wonderfest 2022 and the vinyl is still sticky. I threw out the legs because they were a melting mess. I just don't have the heart to chuck out the rest .
Looks good...probably just me, but her outfits colors looks kind of clashy to me. Especially the teal. I probably would have gone with chrome silver like the outfit in the original film. But that's me. It does look great though.
All around great job. Love her expression!
For sure she looks startled, frightened, surprised..... eyes are brilliant!!
Eye decals look great
Great job with the maiden’s eyes! Really sells the story!
Awesome build Lou. Love all the colors on the babe and the mutant
Oh yeah, the eyes on the mutant are fantastic! Chef's kiss!

Great job, the girl’s are perfect and match the expression on her face
Recapitator would be an awesome horror comedy!
"… with everything above the waist, I’m happy."
- That’s What SHE Said! 😝😝😝
This one came out really good. I am normally not so much a fan of figures like this but this came out really good.
Turned out fantastic Lou.

I am quite in love with this build, a lovely fantasy world brought to life with just a dash of genius!
awesome job Lou !!!

@@MrChief101 do you feel better now?
@@aztekdummy Good of you to ask. I do.
Hi Lou , wow your painting skills are top notch , im still learning how to use my airbrush , but i guess that will come with practice .
nothing that a few thousand hours of practice won't help
That mutant sculpt is great. It's a shame they don't release it just as a standalone kit. I mean they could do they've got the molds.
@@PeWeeHermanUK interesting. How much would you pay for just the mutant? Cuz you don't have to build the gal if you don't want. Or find someone who wants to just build her and split the cost.
SO GOOD!
Very good 👍🎩

@@aztekdummy That's a sad loss, would have looked great
Id love to see you do an MST3K The Movie mod. I've built and helped build full size puppet replicas :)
I do wonder why they didn't model the girl after the gal in the film..
Gotta agree. The eyes look great! Where do those eye decals come from?
@@bryonstump8115 those are on the last sheeti got from Archer before they closed down 😭😭
Rob the robot would be cool.
Looking forward to the Rhedosaurus Lou - black and white or colourized?
color, i suppose. I get enough grayscale painting starships.
Really nice. I don't know if you watch Cobra Kai, but the girl looks like Peyton List (Cori) from that show.
Nice work, Lou! Are you going to start that 1/650 Enterprise-D this year?
@@TrayChester01 yes. In August I'm going to see Phil and the work begins.

You just nailed the 80's vibe I was going for. Some of those old jazzersize outfits would make your eyes bleed.
@@aztekdummy
Heh! Yep, remember those. I get it now. She does resemble Olivia Newton John! Just need to add a headband!
@@angelohernandez6060 don't forget the leg warmers!
