LuxorV Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 After seeing Bobskink's magistral custom Xenomorph I decided to make a 'purist' version of this facinating alien lifeform. I kept the 'black skelton' base as it is just perfect, and I toyed with the head, spine and tail design. (click to jump to the gallery) Even if it (obviously) can't be compared with Bobskink's really oganic piece, I'm quite happy with the result, especially the tail termination and the spines (those big claw/teeth pieces are just so useful!). Here is a pic of the Xenomorph in 'action' agains a strangely long-haired space marine Comments and critics are welcome Quote
Legostein Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Hello! The alien looks really great like directly from the screen. Using the black skeleton figure with a brick-built head works just perfectly! Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
prateek Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Nice! This is a great purist substitute to Bobskink's custom Quote
YG-49 Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I just love saying the name. Xenomorph. XENOMORPH. ZEE-NO-MORF! Nice brickbuilt head. Maybe use one of these in black to simulate the double-tongues? Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Fantastic MOC 'LuxorV' ! You nailed it so well, I not much of a fan of the Alien series, but like I just said you nailed it ! I'm a conformist! ! Quote

I was worried the 'blocky' shape could look a bit off, but it came out better then I forsaw You nailed the look perfectly...... I too like to think so Nice! This is a great purist substitute to Bobskink's custom Well, as said that's the idea behind my experiment. Of course, everybody can use the design freely! I just love saying the name. Xenomorph. XENOMORPH. ZEE-NO-MORF! Nice brickbuilt head. Maybe use one of these in black to simulate the double-tongues? Nice idea, YG-49! If I'll ever make an Alien attack scene, I'll use it Fantastic MOC 'LuxorV' !You nailed it so well, I not much of a fan of the Alien series, but like I just said you nailed it ! I'm a conformist! ! That's one of my favourite things about LEGO models: even if you are not much in a series or concept, you can appreciate it and see it under a new light through them LuxorV Quote
fredde Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 good job with the alien it looks kinda cute with its big head which also makes it fit real good with the minifigure Nice job! Quote
LuxorV Posted February 19, 2010 Author Posted February 19, 2010 I agree; there is always a thin line when brick building minifig-scaled versions of monsters: you have to make them complex enough to recreate their peculiar aspects, but you also have to keep them small enough to avoid fallin in the 'super deformed head' Japanise manga style. I'm glad you think I kept it balanced LuxorV Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) Hey Luxor! Great Alien! Sorry I didn't post here earlier, but I was unsure about how I felt about the head, which seemed allittle big to me. Since then however, I have completely changed my mind In fact I think the largeness of the head sort of makes it allittle cute It's not easy to make a purist alien, but I think you pulled it off (I once tried, and it looked like a black elite from halo.) I really like your use of the new Atlantis spike pieces! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited February 25, 2010 by dannylonglegs Quote
CommanderFox Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Great work with this Xenomorph LuxorV! It looks just like Bobskink's, but brick built instead. Nice job! CommanderFox Quote
