Not a big fan of caricatures, but the head sculpt is really great (as is the rest of the work)!

About 60% done. Does anyone know a reliable resin caster here in the forum or elsewhere who could make copies of this figurine for me?

Interesting concept. I haven't seen what they'll look like in Promethius yet, but i can't wait for that movie!

[RATFINK]

The trailers reveal practically the whole bio-mech suit. But I'm ignoring that for the most part, and basing my work on the original Jockey from Alien - it is significantly different. And I'm filling the gaps, because you see less than 50% of its body.

Oh snapdiggity dog! I'm thinking of making them into keychain ornaments, but if most people just want it as a regular figurine, that's great too.

I intend for it to be completely non-articulated. The head, for the sake of sculpting, attaches to the body with a ball joint. But once I finish working on the hose, the head will be immobile. The arms are also articulated right now only for the sake of being removable for sculpting. But once it's done, they won't move.

If I get enough feedback about it, I might make the arms articulated at the shoulder. I can only make it a swivel though.

if you want it done in a solid piece that would be easy if u want the arms legs head articulated they will have to be on ball joints

Well if im honest mate,he would be going straight onto the shelf with my other figures,iv just recently started collecting customs as well as factory issue figures,so would be great to have a red4 piece up there,especially as im a massive Space Jockey/Jerk fan!!

Well this is encouraging enough to keep it as a static piece, but I'm gonna leave it open for more feedback for 2 days.

Oh, don't misunderstand. I will definitely try to get copies made. What I'm asking about is whether more people want the arms articulated, or if they're okay with it as a static figure.

static = no articulation
