I want to believe..
I paid $5 for this kit. It was finally worth it
I am prepared for extensive study in seam work. Exactly the kind of practice I needed
The Lindberg Alien
I should have cropped my beautiful thumb out of the shot..
Using Perfect Plastic Putty here.
It looks good but it still needs lots of sanding
Sculpting his ankle a little here.
Doing most of the sanding with a cotton bud and water. There is no dust. relaxing and fun. I am trying make seam work easier, and enjoying the process..
A bit of sanding needed on his foot to smooth out the ridge..
I think it’s now ready for primer, and another round of filling and sanding.. We’ll see how well I did in the first round
Alien Autopsy: The definitive proof! We are not alone.. We have never been alone..
My DIY spray booth, running strong for 5 years now. Cost around $50 to make.
I’m using my Paasche Talon 0.5 here for lots of coverage, like a rattlecan. Sometimes I don’t use the needle at all.
Laying down the primer extra thick, for sanding.

Good enough for this project.
This side was closer to the mark..
Those tiny gaps are hard to fill..
I figured this was good enough, since the uniform will be silver, and hopefully hide the seam further
Now on to the base.
Roswell Desert sand...
Adding contrast with oil washes
The truth is out there..

I used Rub’Buff silver for his uniform. For the skin I made a thin purple wash with oil paints and gloss medium over the grey

Nice job, JD. The skin has a nice gloss to it. 👍
Looks like a friendly guy.

JDThanks y'all! It feels good to finally complete something. Been stalled out on other works for far too long, so I needed this small victory. I went to visit my Mum yesterday and showed this to her. She liked it so much, she asked if she could have it. I was so surprised.. ?
