    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've never seen the show...that being said, it's a great looking custom.
            "When not too many people can see we're all the same
            And because of all their tears,
            Their eyes can't hope to see
            The beauty that surrounds them
            Isn't it a pity".

                  Not familiar with the show but that is a phenomenal job by all involved.

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