Spirit Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Here's my little collection of xenomorphs so far. I know there's been quite a few very good Lego xenomorphs already, but I just tried to make my own. I don't think they're much better nor much worse than the others, they're just mine so I like them. ;) First of all, a Queen: (I watched too many J.J. Abrams movies, hahaha) The main specific feature of this model is the movable forehead (side to side, up/down and rotation), which is also the main reason for the model's size. At a 1:40th scale (that's what I try to use for minifig scale, although I have no idea what the official scale is), it's slightly oversized compared to the movies, but according to the Alien Species Wiki, it's still an average size for a queen, just not "the" queen. It's easily posable, although potentially unstable and not as solid as I wish it was, but it can fall on its side without breaking which I consider acceptable enough. Then, the Drone and the Runner: Bullies. (I don't know who designed those eggs, but that's a good idea, credits to him/her.) (Those flares! My eyes! Those aliens! My throat!) The drone was slightly modified for the second pic so its head can now move up and down as well. Changing their pose is really easy although obviously at that scale not all joints are movable. Also, they met Benny: Update: Here's the latest version of my Queen, not final yet of course, but I think there are enough changes to post it. I'm still having a hard time taking good pics of it though, so I'll keep trying. These will do for now. Edited January 18, 2015 by Spirit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mccoyed Posted August 13, 2014 Whoa. Do you have a flickr? I'd like to fave these pics for future reference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spirit Posted August 13, 2014 Thanks all. :) @mccoyed: Sure, all my Alien related pics go in this album, and my main gallery is here. The Benny picture didn't make it to the album, it felt a bit out of place there, but it's in the main gallery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spirit Posted January 18, 2015 A small update, I posted pics of the current version of the queen at the bottom of the first message. There's still room for improvement, but I think it's getting better. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingodacheez Posted January 19, 2015 Very Nicely done! You've captured the overall feel of the beasts; without them looking robotic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spirit Posted January 20, 2015 Well, that's probably the biggest advantage of black. It can hide the straight lines and right angles a little. I don't think it will ever really look organic though, unfortunately. A small additional Benny pic for the lulz: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bbrink1996 Posted January 20, 2015 Amazing work. And they look quite simple too.(The smaller ones though, the queen looks more complex. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fred67 Posted January 23, 2015 These are all awesome, but I like the little ones best. Agreed... they'd work great in a minifig scale Aliens MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
