Another trip deep back into the archives. Today we visit 2010 and a very cool kit called Alien Pile (1/6 scale) from FEWTURE sculpted by the master Takayuki Takeya. I tried to go for a color scheme on the domes that both incorporated the greens from Giger and the blues from the lighting in the movies to give them the appropriately creepily-lit look.

The amount of detail on this kit is staggering and it took at least 60 hours to paint. The main alien on the top has a clear plastic dome that allows you to see some of the very cool detail sculpted below. I had to very carefully shade it w/ some inks to give it the same color scheme as the non-clear domes and yet allow it to retain its clarity.

One last painting note ... no metallic paint was used on the kit anywhere ... it's all very careful shading and some sheen from some ink and future floor finish.
