Wow, very cool. Lots of informations there. Thank you! It is absolutely insane how much details this piece have. They even gave us the first image of the underside of the 2nd mouth! When I was doing the inner jaw for one of my bronze Aliens, I had ? in my eyes when it came to the underside. I...
The video is from 1990. So i guess it was another Alien fan from Japan. But they seem to analyzed the 2nd jaw-mechanism and the mechanism for the lips very close. Absolutely insane!
Nr. 9 is done. This Projekt is close to the end now :)
here I tried to make the Big Chap with closed lips like in this Set-Photo:
The teeth are stainless steel placed in the mold so they are covered with bronze. Then, I filed the bronze down to the teeth so that there is a contrast of the...

I, personally like the coolprops version more, just because it is more museal. This got an appearance like a prop, with the neck on the stand. But I like the idea to be as accurate as possible to a photo reference. But I think it needs a special kind of collector for this one. The 1:3 statue is...
I just stumbled about it in the google picture search. It leads to a japanese homepage: https://220.raindrop.jp but the page seems to work incorrect. There should be more pictures of it, but they don't work. It's also completely in japanese, so I couldn't find a price.
I also agree with the...
Thank you very much!
The Maya-sculpture comparison is nice. I also often thought the static bronze aliens got something of an archaic statue from greek, but the pose is kind of static, in both types of statues. I like that, because it makes the bronze aliens more arty :lol But I am also a fan...
