    UFO- Alien Invader

    This took me this well over a year and sometimes I wondered if it was ever going to happen. Two sculptors, several molds, lots of tears but it's finally here.

    Head and appliance sculpt- Tyler Ham
    Rifle- Paul Wasson
    Suit- Martin Cage
    Paints- Me

    These guys are the mysterious baddies of one of my favourite shows of all time, Gerry Anderson's UFO. They changed their look a good deal during the series run, so I had to kind of boil it down to an essential "Megoey" look.

        Niiiice! I really like the fabric choice. Sharp looking all the way round. For some odd reason I want to add gloss to the head. It must be Sci-fi thing.

          Brian-- that's awesome! I love it.

          But-- hard as this may be to believe-- I have absolutely no familiarity with this show. I was confusing it with the one with Roy Thinnes.

          Love the body-suit. That red pleathery fabric has an ultraman quality to it.

          Speaking of Ultra-series... why has no one ever done an Infra-Man custom??

                    I just re-watched that movie with my son a few weeks ago, and I was thinking it would be cool to make one!

                          I am a big fan of the show and your Alien looks amazing! Ed Straker also looks great.
