I just got the resin from my caster in-hand for these and had to start on a couple of them! These large 1\/4 scale armored alien busts were designed by Fabio M. Silva and produced by my company Industria Mechanika<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What I really like about this isn’t only the overall design, but the possibilities for color choices. I’m doing one like the box art because I should, and another in a green\/orange mottled District 9 alien-like look.<\/p>\n

We had these designed with lighting in mind, however you will need a rotary tool with a small ball cutter to hollow-out behind the eyes to insert LEDs and wire behind the clear eye pieces. It looks daunting at first glance, at least it did to me, but once I got in there and started Dremmeling out the inside and using a 1\/4″ drill bit at slow speeds to make holes under the head, through the body and the base to run wires into a small coin-cell, it was relatively easy and quick.<\/p>\n

More on this as I paint and light it. I’ll be using small SMD 0603 LEDs to light it, but with enough hollowing you can fit just about anything behind the clear eye inserts.<\/p>\n
