it's great to see someone who scuplts these film characters, as well as collects them. I always think afterrall if these characters are not available to buy anymore, or are too expensive why not be a bit arrogant & naive & make your own. Be it plaster, clay fibre glass vinegar & brown paper whatever. all it takes is enthusiasm & determination
Great job. Alien Resurrection is highly under appreciated. It seems the audience could not handle any variation from the expected formula no matter how brilliant that might be.
These are beautifully done. All you need is a 1/6 Ridley with his hands inside with a pair of rubber gloves on haha. Love the size of these, I have quite a few of the hot toys closed ones and one open one but yours blows them out of the water.
@@thedarkpower They're about the size of the plastic egg you started with. They are called snapkits and the egg comes in two halves with a colonial marine in each. Kind of evil kinder eggs:)
Love the Hellraiser pieces. Any plans to make a puzzle box. I didn’t see one. You can buy them but plans are out there and maybe another project to accompany the figures.
That was a really good point you made about the use of red to signify organics. Never gonna see the predator in the same way! Should have a green mouth 😆
Thanks. No I think this is normal latex, so it is a little yellow - there's gaps in it so it doesn't cover too much and the colour kind of adds to the effect ;)
Which DWR silicone are you using? I am going to order some to try but they have an RTV and an easy mould. Both are run cure but wasn’t sure what the difference is other than the ratios.
Hey Christopher, hope you're well. I've been using the general purpose moulding rubber. The cured rubber has not got a particularly long life span, so perhaps not the highest quality, but the price point makes it perfect for single or low use moulds. www.dwrplastics.com/general-purpose-moulding-rubber.html
i just have no words to express myself with how great this is! the latex method just blew my mind away :D, dude you are getting better and better! keep creating! cheers!
Cheers dude, hope you're well. Yeah latext is great for this kind of thing. I've been meaning to mould the skull I did a while back. I reckon it'd look great with latex all over it.
@@thedarkpower I'm good, even tho i have some health issues at this moment but overall im good :). I started experimenting with digital sculpting via blender and i'm slowly getting into it! I did take a little break from traditional sculpting and social media so I can concentrate on digital work for some time now...but from time to time I do switch to traditional sculpting because nothing can beat that :'D. I do remember the skull that you made, it came up looking outstanding! Especially with the orange peal effect, very cool! And yes I agree, with latex on the skull will looks fanscinating! I can not wait to see it happen! How are you anyway?
do you like the Akien complete with agg kit from,,,ALIENS I think, made by ...HALCYON? its a great pose and I wish I'd bought it at the time. BUT what I did buy in 1979/80 was the 19" kenna Alien with retracting tongue, & even though there have been many versions of this character (more than 40 inc statues toys & kits)this to me is one of the best, im using it as referance to make a full scale bust 3ft long of this landmark character
Your work is amazing but i dont think you get enough credit for how good you actually make these videos, they are very in depth and high quality
Thanks for saying so. I enjoy making videos too, so I treat each one like a mini project too.

Thanks, yeah I find them very inspirational when working on my own pieces.

EGGS-TRAORDINARY video BIG THUMBS-UP ALL DAY LONG 👍😊👍
Thanks dude, appreciate it! :)
Awesome! Brilliant idea to use the latex to create the skin textures 👍
Thanks!
So much beauty and amazing clean artwork...💜
Thanks! :)
Wow. Those turned out great! Great trick with the latex that will come in handy for me in the near future.
Thanks! Yep abit of latex on anything organic really adds something.
Another great video 👏👏!! Great sculpt also.
Thanks! :)
Superb work! The latex trick in the end made my eyes fall out of their sockets, very smart stuff. Have a nice weekend
Thanks! Yep a blob of latex definitely adds something.
Thanks for the video. Well done, they look really good. Also an Alien - Aliens fan. Keep safe and stay well.
Cheers Colin, hope you're well.
Amazing build as always! Would like to see you converting some kids sandbox-Vehicle into an APC-Tank from Aliens for your Hot Toys figures.
Thanks. Yeah that might be a cool project :)
These are beautifully done. All you need is a 1/6 Ridley with his hands inside with a pair of rubber gloves on haha.

Using latex for that effect was brilliant!
Thanks! :)

Yeah they're great aren't they? Hah, no I decided to never get a puzzle box just in case it worked ;)
An amazing build.
Thanks very much :)
These look great, but the creation process was even more intresting
Thanks, yes I often find that too!
Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪. Thank you for your awesome video . Inspiring 💯%
Tack från Storbritannien! :)
Looks so good you wanna put your face recklessly close to it
Haha! ;)
What an insane collection. Love it!
Thanks!

Thanks, glad I'm not the only one that thought that! ;)
Excellent!
AMAZING!! Soooo impressive!! Well done!!!
Thanks! :)
awesome sauce man. keep up the good work.
Thanks! :)
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, new subscriber
Thanks and welcome :)
Great video are you using clear latex ? Because the normal would dry yellow right so it would cover the paint job
Thanks. No I think this is normal latex, so it is a little yellow - there's gaps in it so it doesn't cover too much and the colour kind of adds to the effect ;)
The Dark Power ah ok awesome thanks
Awesome work!!! I'll have to try the latex idea. Do you seal it after or use anything to fix it in place?
Thanks! No it sticks, but it will degrade over time so you'll need to refresh it occasionally. You can peel it off easily though.
@@thedarkpower Awesome! Thanks Mate 👍🏻 What about a coat of Satin or gloss varnish over it. Will it still degrade?
@@Secret_Geek That might work to be honest, I've not tried it though. I'd recommend testing it on something first ;)
Funny you mentioned predators mouth being red, I've thought the same thing. 😁
Hah, glad I'm not the only one! :)

The Dark Power yes for the price it seems like a good option to just have around. Then I can get the more spendy stuff if the use justifies it.
Looks awesome! 😊👍🏻
Thanks!

err..you are aware that your skill level is higher than the (i still want them) collectibles that you paid for ..right..?
Haha, cheers I appreciate it ;)
"Looks like some sort of secreted resin?"
"Yeah, but secreted from what?"
"Nobody touch nothin!" ;P
I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure!
No Prometheus/Covenant yet? I'd love to see you make Prometheus man or the Hammerpede. Or even better, Elizabeth (Noomi Rapace)post dissection.
Yeah I have been thinking about doing an Engineer or a Neomorph actually.

Yeah I think I had the Halcyon one years back.
Do you know you said "You will be able to see the Spacehugger inside" ? lol
🤣🤣
:0 cool
I DON'T GET IT
I don't get what you don't get! ;)

Thanks! :)
how did you make the cobwebs on the egg?
It's latex. I cover that in the video.
@@thedarkpower thanks!
