I think that a black skelleton body would work better.

Instructions for the vignette and the minifigs:

Great rendition of a classic scene! Great job on the Alien figure, by the way. Although the purple belt is a little out of place, I think the figure works great and I love it!

Nice scene overall with the lighting and such, and I must say that the alien at that scale is nicely done.  And about the purple belt... maybe that xenomorph just likes to accessorize!

Thanks!

 

Yeah, the belt is a little annoying. But, in counterpart, that print gives to the torso a more twisted look, more "Gigerian".  If it were in dark grey it would be perfect.

But as I said, If you want to recreate it and have a black skelleton, is a better option. I'm even thinking about ordering one, they only cost 0,30cent. in B&P.

Yeah, that seems like a good fix. Plus free shipping this whole month at Lego shop at home!

Yes, if you have that available it would probably look that much better, but it's great as-is for a purist xenomorph at minifig scale.

So, is the Alien Queen next?

This looks insanely cool !

My I suggest to have a look at my Alien http://bricksafe.com/files/m2m/aliens/Alien_Vignette.lxf ?

I think it looks quite cool in your awesome vignette and I would happy to see it come to life in real :)

Another vignette, with the Queen, the exo-suit, half Bishop around there... Too much to say no.

I like the tail, but it looks a little "bug", skinny. It reminds me to the alien from Alien 3.

 

By the way, I really really like your Ellen Ripley. I didn't know about that hair, and the blue torso is really great.

On topic; love the vignette, just instantly recognisable! Such atmosphere!

Great work on the figs; ripley & xenomorph, you could always remove the purple belt with some Brasso btw.
Would love to see some flames out of Ripley's Flamethrower though, maybe add Newt or Bishop?
