Hi all,
So now that I've paid my cost of entry (I actually accidently posted it to Curt's regular blog yesterday...Wups!), time to get going on some of the challenge chambers. I'll start off with the Hall of Traps with some trapped Aliens. These are all 28mm figures from Prodos Games, who no longer holds the license to make them. I know some people felt they got burned by their kickstarter, but they really made wonderful figures that definitely captured the spirit of the Aliens Universe.
Here is the group all together. Most are from the second edition of the AVP the Hunt Begins game or its expansions.
The bigger vignette was a limited edition figure they released right before loosing the license. Its basically the iconic scene of Vasquez in the ventilation shaft 'trapping' an alien right before she shoots it. Unfortunately the acidic blood means she is nearly as hurt as the creature. I was rather intimidated to paint this but couldn't not do it as I liked the duality it suggested as 'who was really trapped' given the ultimate outcome of the scene. Now having just rewatched the film today I realized they likely didn't have the rights from the actor as she wasn't wearing the vest or ball cap she is depicted as donning on the mini...but we all know who they meant to sculpt.
Great looking bunch of aliens and nice vignette!

Great work on these very creepy figures Jeremy.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Terrific work Jeremy. It's such a pity that they lost the licence as the figures are excellent. I didn't realize you got that exclusive vignette of Vasquez and the Alien. It would have been cool to have another one with her and Lt. Gorman just before they tap-out with the grenade.
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt. Yah I picked up that figure along with a bunch of last minute extras I had put off buying. It was a now or never sort of situation. Still a bit disappointed I could never afford the drop ship, but it was pretty pricey and I wanted an assortment of their other figures which just seemed to get better with time.
DeleteGreat work, the Vasquez vignette is very cool.
ReplyDeleteGreat if slightly disconcerting collection. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I had to exercise a lot of self-control to not get these.
ReplyDeleteSuper Sci Fi weirdness !
