alpha Centauri Mishap

[doomcrew]

ok, this is something I have been working in between my car projects, the alpha centauri UFO's. The scene depicts two aliens surveying earth, when one gets too close to a car and scratches the back of it. To show that not all alien life is intelligent the alien gets his ridiculously big implement to scratch a note into the cars paint. i came up with some hyroglyphs for the alien language, and scratched it into the boot lid, basically saying, "sorry I scratched your ship"

the alien's tool/weapon is made up from scrap parts from various sources. The wall and pavement are made from Chemiwood, and the base has two pieces of 1/35 scale cobble stone roadway, on top of Modroc and perspex. The alien ships, are lit with strands of electroluminescent wire and powered with a 6v inverter.

I sincerely hope it makes it to a real museum someday! Then folks in the future can wonder if was real or just a dream. It still amazes me months after first seeing it.

Wow I must have missed this one when it was first posted. Great creativity and imagination. I like the lighting, really adds to the realism of the piece, Well done!

[fordrodnkustom]

Where did you source the alien figures?

[doomcrew]

The figures came with the ships, and they are in the Alpha Centauri UFOs Short Range Saucers 1-32 Pegasus model kit.

OK, thanks. I'm looking for a close to 1:24/25 scale "gray" alien figure. That might be worth a look.
