New ALIEN Statue from Yoshihiko Sano

[demorathis]

I just saw the packaged pics on H.S. site. Is that the new improved packaging or the old one?

Thats the old packaging.....they mentioned they were going to eliminate any movement, reinforce the fragile parts of the statue...

Right on. Yeah that old packaging doesn't look very secure at all. Thank God it's being changed! Man, I can't wait to get my email from them saying my statue is ready to ship. So hyped for this!!

it wasexpensive to begin with and ss announced the maquette, which was full,bodied, so thinking that I could only afford to buy one at a time, I opted to cxc my order, hoping that one day roswell would make a ful-bodied alien in 1/3 scale like the bust or alien cm....little did I realize the maquette would be ever so late

i couldve gotten both after all

My kit is almost done. Actually, I've been saying that for over a week now. lol
Just when I think I'm close, I find something I'm not happy with.

Thanks, for posting that Thx.
It looks much different now. I wish I had a few of these kits. So, I could paint them in different styles.

Nice work on that, DP. Excellent highlights and tones. Awesome work on the skull area.

Did you use any tricks on the oval patterns you'd mind PM-sharing with me?

You're really lighting a fire under my ass to get some paint on mine.

Excellent work it's looks great !

This sano's statue is just the ultmate ALIEN piece

 

[playa7]

Yup, DP's skull work is looking great!

 

[Darth_Pain]

Thanks guys! The body looks better this time around. I'll post picks when I'm done. Hopefully within the next couple days.
Silent Surfer, I don't have any tricks. Just airbrush and paintbrushing. I did use a pencil to sketch the lines on the skull before going over them with the airbrush. This is only my 2nd paint up. So, I'm still a noob.

Looks fantastic!!!

Penciling in the lines was what I was going to do, so that's reassuring.

Only your second paint up?!!! If that's true, you've got some natural talent, bro. There is some real greatness potential there. I hope you keep painting. I'd love to see the magic you can pull off down the road.

Thanks a lot!!
Wait...I was wrong. I painted a black Spider-man,Venom and the Alien Warrior before this one. I don't really count the Spidey and Venom, though. Because they are mostly just black. My first real paint up was the Alien Warrior from Poesidonyoung. After working on this one, I feel like repainting the warrior but, I think I'll leave it as is since I'm selling it.

Just go the tracking for my replacement. Can't wait!

Yumiko mentioned that they just started shipping the limited special edition and the other editions will soon follow.
