You don't need tweezers, just use your finger tip. The silicone is is "sticky" so you have to use rotating motion with your finger tip to adjust the eye. I did it on mine. Its also possible to get the eyelids to close a bit more over the eyes. PS. Take the eye piece out of the cowl first. It's...

Did you receive any reply from JND about your "broken neck"?

Same with mine. The silicone head is loose from the neck and keeps popping up when I push it down. Also the cowl is loose from the neck (is held in place by magnet). When I lift the the cowl up the eye piece falls out. Is this the same for anyone else?

I really enjoyed this video review of "Petimen":giggle:. It was more in depth than JNDs show and tell. I'm looking forward to it, despite of the high gloss pecs.

I'm not a fan of the high gloss kevlar at all. It just takes away from the realism and starts to look more toy-like. I'm just afraid they went this way cause of a choice of material that doesn't react well to matt coat paint.

I have. On it's way. Fingers crossed!

Did anyone receive their Nostromo in an art box? Mine was packed in styrofoam strait in the shipper box. It was also missing some details on the nose/cockpit. Seems like it was painted that way. If HCG can compensate me for the damage I will sculpt a new part myself, and ad a few other details...

I agree that detail-wise this is the best statue, with some minor liberties taken in the proportions. If one think of this statue as a portrait of a character it´s more than well done. I´m used to the old days when the best you could get was a garage kit, and if the sculpt remotely resembled the...

Ok, so I took the liberty of snagging a few of the posted pictures for comparison. Some pictures taken of the sculpt may be suffering from some "fisheye lensing effect". Based on the photos what seems to be off is that the the face (eyes and mouth) is to big for the size of the cowl sculpt. Both...

My plan is to do it myself. It's my hobby. Initially I sculpted and painted characters on my own, but with age comes a lack of time and patience:giggle: Nowadays I can enjoy work that other artsists produce, but I don't mind customizing if I can to make it fit my personal preferences. I...

I haven't received mine yet, but I'm allready planning on some modifications for my ultmate display: 1. Repainting the belt. Maby it looks better in person, but I think the yellowish gold throws it of. I want mine more dull, matt and darker as in the pic below. 2. Custom velvet cape. A new...

Not really sure when I joined the wait list. But it wasn't long after it had sold out. Before I received it sideshow sent me the wrong item. For some reason my big Alien statue got mixed up with a small "spider Gwen" statue (I think) and they put my shipping label on the wrong parcel. I had to...

Sideshow have been contacted, awaiting reply. But in all honesty, I don't really expect sideshow to be able to supply me with a replacement part for the dome. I mean, they should, but I suspect the answer will be that their supply is out and that they are unable to take things further by...

My concern exactly!

That sounds very interesting! I just might take up on your offer on that article. I have actually done something like that way back in the day on an alien dome belonging to the old MPC model kit of the Alien, in order to repaint it. My concern is that both the MPC alien dome and canopies for...
