Haha!! You are like me...lol! Really can?t wait!! Continue working on the egg because I will need one! Lol...could you post some pictures of the alien 3 egg version? How big would be an alien 1 egg version? Thanks
I'll find some pictures of it in good lighting. I have them I just need to look back a bit. The Alien3 egg was substantially smaller than the previous eggs. The Eggs in Aliens were the largest I think.
I'll get to work on the giger egg soon

Wow!! I absolutely love it! Please, I need one here Jacklyn
I'll start making them in larger amounts. I'm allergic to the resins used so I have to be very careful making them. But I have molds for the Alien3 egg. I'll have the Giger egg and then a tail blade replacement for the Dog. I have that one mostly done but working on details.
What would you guys say is the best Alien maquette type statue to date? This guy seems up there

Yup. I don’t mind the holes either. The wall more than likely remain in the box. I have a theme going on with some cool framed posters. My Giger maquette has one, my Dog Alien has one, my future Warrior will have one, and this Big Chap will also have one. Displaying the wall would block that. Plus while my wall brackets and wood shelves are heavy duty and screwed directly into wall studs, I still would feel better with not too much weight on them, and that wall is without a doubt, super heavy. Plus I live in the Bay Area, earthquake country, that tall vertical wall sculpture might go timber in a big shaker, and that?s even with the museum putty that all my statues have.
It is a beautiful wall sculpture, maybe I could display it down low to the floor in a separate section of the mancave.

Can you explain what you mean by this? What's 'museum putty'?

Museum putty is used for collectibles to avoid tipping, sliding, falling off furniture, etc. Looks like chewed gum that?s placed under the bases of your desired collectible.
It hold statues really firm. You can’t even budge them even if you tried. The statue will brake off the head or torso first before the putty detaches from the table/shelf. However, you can loosen the grip of the putty by twisting the collectible back and forth by the base and it comes off. The putty is removable and does not stain your furniture whatsoever. It?s an awesome thing to have in order to protect your prized display valuables. It can have other names depending on the company, like earthquake hold.

Earthquake Hold:
https://www.amazon.com/Quakehold-88...1&keywords=Museum+putty&qid=1614138812&sr=8-5
For large statues like my Giger maquette and Dog Alien, I simply use four little round balls of the putty and place then on each corner of the under base. The statues are going nowhere. I highly recommend this stuff. All my statues, Hot Toys, Neca, and various props, all different varying sizes and weights, every single one of them has museum putty or earthquake hold under their bases.

The Flankster dude learned the hard way...
Right after he showed this video. I was the one who recommended museum putty to him. Of course after a week or so, he posted another video saying he came up with the idea of museum putty, and advised everyone to do so. That’s typical Flankster for you. Never crediting anyone but himself. I did passive-aggressively posted “you are welcome”, and he posted “thanks”. Good ol Flankster, lol.

You can also place the museum putty on heads, limbs, etc, that have weak magnets, it works wonders. Like the Dog Alien, it has no magnet at the tip of its tail. It sits very gingerly. I placed a tab of museum putty on the key, and presto, the tip is going nowhere.
Only started watching this guy recently upon buying a Pred Cinemaquette. Didnt know this guy had a bad reputation. Seemed chill on his videos

I don't like that dude haha. Yep I said it.
When he got the dog Alien by p1 he said "I don't remember this film but I know it took place on a spaceship"
My Alien respecto meter was on danger mode. To be able to spend 2k on a statue and not even remember what film it came from kinda bothers me haha. He got mad at me because I told him someone needs to take that statue away from him untle he learns some respect haha
clutch

There are a few man children on youtube who are more into acquiring stuff and bragging about it than the actual subject matter. No creative ability whatsoever and once you get that much factory-made in a room it just ends up looking like clutter anyway.
