Ripley Customising

[Reinhardt]

Looks good. My only comment is that the head looks a bit big for that body.

The bodys are pretty much the same size, the only difference is the colouring and the fact that she doesnt have the exposed arm joints.

Looks good on the sarah body think thats the way I'll go on mine.

Are you going to weather the outfit or head?

Probably will do, but ill get someone else to do that who knows what theyre doing cause im useless at the paint part.

Thought the head looked a bit big aswell, but think its just because we are used to seeing ripley with jacket on.
Keep us updated, you should really get a head of darren or repaint the original ripley head imo.
I am not the best painter, only recentley started and have my ripley head from darren, half finished on mine and it pi**es on the original already

hey man awesome "frankenripley" really creative. the proportions look good and if you are looking for a good jacket there is a jacket that comes with the DID Che Guevara. plus you should get one of your freinds to paint the hair, it'll look so much better

Will HT ever revisit Ripley? I'm mainly thinking Alien or Aliens versions. For that matter, what about the marines from Aliens?

That would be great but I highly doubt it

I present franken-ripley

Sorry i dont have work in process pictures as there didnt really seem much point.

I had origionally decided to buy a sarah connor body to use to customise ripley, however the neckpost was slightly bigger on the sarah body compaired to the ripley body.

I tried to puy the ripley body together at the weekend there and low and behold the leg broke, the seller who sold it to me on ebay had stated it was new and mib but it looks like it had been built the let post had snapped and been glued.

So i had to be creative, i took the sarah body and the ripley body took the rubber body off the ripley unscrewed the body post and did the same with the sarah body, exchanged the posts on each body and replaced the rubber body part. Then i took off the sarah shin parts and replaced them with the ripley shin parts (using the knee post in the sarah to replace the broken ripley verison), i had to do this as thats the only way the ripley boots would fit onto the legs, theyve got a different type of foot joint compaired to the newer version body.

Anyway enough yammering, heres a couple of shots of my Ripley on a Sarah body.

Did you weather ripley up?
Any new pics?
