Facehugger attack

[manatic]

Just finished this old 25mm piece from Leading Edge's Colonists' Last Stand set. Fairly happy with how it turned out, but especially happy that I got such an old mini (1992) finished. The world has changed a lot since then! Feedback welcome as usual.

  Yeeeesh! Very nicely done, I like the colonist's outfit and the alien secreted resin basing in particular. Musta been one helluva fight

Nice work.  Very nostalgic about that particular sculpt.  Very first Alien piece I ever painted, done as a gift to superfan friend of the movies.

Being a huge fan of those movies, I love this.  Great work.

I got this mini, too. Inspiring. Might dig out mine to finally paint it as well.

I wish I had...

Great paintjob - actually a mini-diorama!

May you post a painting guide? those effects seem extremely good!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Sure, anything special you want information on?

The Facehugger, the easter egg and the base itself (I always seem to botch black colour... I either get the lights too strong or unapreciable)

lovely paint job brings the sculp to life

The palette is bang on, really suggestive of the franchise.  It looks great.  I would love to get my hands one of those models.

The pose reminds me of this.
