Hello friends , just wanted to start a thread where I can dump a bunch of the Alien and Predator work I've completed over the past few years!
Our most recent pieces are these 2 helmets. We recently were commissioned to complete a Mr. Black and Jungle Hunter helmets.
Both of these are printed in PLA plastic on a cr-10max and finished using a combination of methods utilizing SLA resin and Bondo.

Hunting Grounds Default , (i literally hate referring to this helmet by that mouthful, i affectionately refer to him as Hunter)

I have made more Hunters than any other helmet! The design, in my opinion, is truely a remarkable feat. It both stays true to the original ICONIC featureless mask , but also sleeker , more modern, everything Nimrod Antal wanted in the Super Predators. Just an all around REMARKABLE homage to the original mask.

EDIT 2: relinking the links
The pictures aren't loading for me.
Nor me
Apologies! Its been YEARS, and photoshop isnt free anymore? Hopefully these photos come through, i FINALLY made a facebook page for this kind of stuff and the links hopefully will come through.
Beautiful work.
Those Predator masks are just wonderful. Really. I think RidgeTop ordered one of the Hunting Grounds ones from you recently, and it looks fantastic. Have you got any other masks you'd be interested in trying out?
I love the Berserker.
Eddie is amazing and I love him.

Wow, thank you! We were going to make him a dome but life got in the way.
We're starting another xeno.project soon. Aiming to do more of a latex costume rather than resin bust.

Yes that's correct, that's one of ours! We're aiming to mold the Mr. Black and Jungle Hunter posted above. We've been asked for both helmets multiple times so they justified the mold runs. But we'll do just about any helmet as a fully finished 3d printed one off, our only caveat is that we won't send out raw 3d prints.
Welcome to the forum! And thanks again for this awesome Predator mask:

Berserker is looking great, and that 'Big Chap' head is looking way nice.
If I'm not mistaken, you've also done the 'Phalanx' and 'Immortal' masks from Predator: Hunting Grounds, correct?

YES! That's right! We did a few Phalanx last year and an Immortal as a one off.
Hey all, been working on some new digital stuff. We just got a new work rig and it handles high poly sculpting much better than our last tablet.

Out of interest, how much to ship a Predator mask to the UK?
The images aren't working for me, or at least some of them aren't. What I do see however is fantastic. You might also try Imgur.

Honestly I'm not too sure, but I'm going to be shipping out some helmets probably next week if you'd like to PM me an approximate mailing address I can find out!
We are very rapidly closing in on the finish line of our new Mr. Black and Hunter casts. Our client asked us to turn our Jungle Hunter cast into a Big Red for him!

The finish on these is amazing. Simply.
Haven't had much time to work on that viking helmet all that much.
Managed to start another digital xeno though

Its been AWHILE since I've dabbled in Alien or Predator projects, but with the rumblings and rumors of the new hulu show / movie I felt a bit of inspiration.

double posting/ resurrecting my own thread. Been obsessively working on a 3d printable Prey helmet. Hoping to have a print finished in the coming few days .
Can't wait to see what that looks like!!
We're getting pretty close to calling it finished! A few more layers of dry brushing to blend the bone and some weathering on the metal. This has been such a neat project and its been a real blast working on this!
Ooh, and you added the LEDs?
Finally finished! Over the moon about how this turned out.

That looks fantastic, Leggs!!! Your work just continues to be knockout.
Sent out Feral Helmet #2 this week! Still having a ball working on them. Hoping to rework some parts of the 3d model in the new year to help streamline the printing process. I also am hoping to try and create some kind of elevated lighting array. (would LOVE to see footage of the hero helmets lighting animation someday)
Brilliant, as always! What's been your favourite mask to work on?

Hands down its gotta be Feral! Its made up of such interesting organic shapes and its so well designed and adds so much to his character.
I hope in the future we see more examples of the blending of bone/tech on film.
I can't fault you there! That mask is easily one of my favourites from the series. And the way other elements of the design blended in the bone too. Looked gorgeous.
Finally finished modelign Ahab's Rifle. Its one of my favorite designs in the series, i'd give a finger or two to pop some xenos with this baby in Fireteam Elite.

Work of art and the glowing effect is just great. Kinda wished they kept that in the film.
