up of another bust.
Invasion of the Saucermen
Here's some pictures I took today of the model
as it stood for some 7 years now. I think this
is the first time I ever really took a good look at
it, from the perspective of who I was then and
now. God, did this need a make over in a
terrible way. I've only completed the base, the
hand on the ground, the clothing and the two
hands on the green alien, but already it's
coming to life just as I would want it to be
today. I'll post more pictures when it's
complete, most likely this weekend.
I've decided to stay with the overall color
scheme, I think that part of it worked great.
But the detailing, egad ... What a mess. lol
Oh, I did change the bibs and cuffs of the
creatures, to have an undercolour of red, I
think it's much more dramatic this way.







I hope you like this WIP. Here it is below. I've got to paint up the two
heads and the hands of the Red alien. Oh, and the wand the red guy is
holding. I want to make it really pop out, any suggestions.
I'm having a blast, fixing all that is wrong. The veining was a mess, I also
changed the color of the nails to a whitish gray color. That way it gave me
more to work with in shaping it and shading it. 2003, I can't believe that this
was my beginnings as a modeler. They say, "You've come a long way
baby." Without a doubt I can agree on that point.
