    Found an old atempt at an alien custom.

    Whilst digging through some of my old boxes of stuff I found this crazy little custom.



    It's a T2 body w/ a spare batman bodysuit.

    The head and hands are direct from the AMT alien model, just modified to fit the body.

    the chest and feet were my attempt at molding surface details from the model into small plaster molds (and sometimes clay press molds) casting them thin in latex,and applying them directly to the suit.

    It started to work, in theory, as this was just going to be the proof of concept figure before I tried to make a super clean one.

    It ended up being the back spikes that really became difficult at the time, and it got sat aside.... 6 years later, he is found in the same (if not slightly dustier) shape he was then.

    I have to chuckle though, because if I knew some of the latex tricks then that I know now I bet I would have had at least one finished piece to show.

    Just thought I'd share an unfinished custom lost in time.

                I have a tail I could send you. It's off a bigger figure but you could cut it down to length. PM with your Addy if you want it.

                    That has the makings of one incredible figure.
                    If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                          Looks like you got off to a really nice start. Would be a shame to not see him finished. Poor little acid for blood guy :(
