WIP Lifesize Ellen Ripley Bust FINISHED WITH VIDEO!

[wilysteve]

Hi,

A few years back I posted some pictures of a half scale Ripley that I sculpted. Now I've finally taken the plunge and I'm sculpting the full scale version! Theres a lot of finalising and detailing to do but this has all been measured out Madame Tussauds style from Aliens screen shots so hopefully its as close as it can be. Shes going to be finished in silicone with real hair, acrylic eyes etc. Hopefully in the future I'll sculpt a complete figure holding Newt and the flame thrower/pulse rifle combo!

Heres some pictures, couple of days work left to do:

Cheers from London, Steve.

Great likeness, but it looks ever so slightly aged. Little bit of smoothing and it'll be dead-on.
