Aliens - Xenomorph Ultra Detailed Statue -19" tall

Xenomorph (Alien) Ultra Detailed Display 

This one is by far one of my largest, and definitely the most detailed model that I've worked on to date.. This is an Ultra Detailed Xenomorph statue that stands 19 inches (48cm) tall in the largest form! This statue pulls inspiration from the unbelievably awesome Sideshow Collectibles Vinyl model, which if you are familiar with their models, are next level in detail.. but next to impossible to get! 

There are 2 size profiles being made available at the time of the model upload - 19" tall version as well as a 10" tall version. 

Please note that the 19" tall version is printed in pieces, and is maximized in size to fit the P/X series printer beds. The 10" tall version is printed a simplified one-piece print. I should know that I have printed 6 different size variants and will note that you can easily scale this between 10" and 19" tall models. 

**Please be aware that the print times are lengthy. I had 4 machines running test prints none stop. I promise though, it is worth it at the end. 

**Please also be aware that the model images you see are 100% real, with 0 use of AI, but they have been post-process colored using some Rub'n Buff waxes, along with some gloss clear coat layer application at the end. 

ASSEMBLY REQUIRED **

The 19" tall, multipiece print will require some glue. I have used both super glue, as well as hot glue. Hot glue was my preference. 

With all the parts printed, and supports cleaned up (TAKE YOUR TIME REMOVING THE SUPPORTS AS THE PARTS ARE HIGHLY DETAILED AND FRAGILE) do a dry-fit of all the parts to ensure proper fitment. You may need to file down some pieces if they do not fit. All 4 of my models went together with no issues, but different printers/filaments may have some tolerance issues. 

Assembly is very straightfoward, with the exception of the tail. DO NOT mount the tail to the model until the Xenomoprh is placed onto the base display. The tail loops around the display and needs to be installed afterwards. Install the tail by turning is 90 degrees and carefully looping the tip around the back of the base and then gently rotating it up into the reciever cutout on he back of the xenomorph (Yes, it looks like a butt ). 

With the Dry fitting completed, if you are satisfied with the fitment you can take the piees apart and proceed to glue them together. As with the above test-fit process, you can assemble everything together, just leave the tail to the end. 

If you are planning to paint/apply color to the model I highly advise doing so with Xenomorph OFF of the base.

For final assembly, apply some glue to the foot mounting peg as well as some glue to the toes of the left foot (there is no peg here) and firmly place the model on to the base. Proceed with snaking the tail into position, and then apply some glue onto the peg of the base of the tail. There is a small mounting support for the tail at the back of the base that also requires a small application of glue to help it from bouncing around with the model fully assembled.

COLOR APPLICATION

I used a very straightforward process for my coloring via application of some Rub'n Buff Antique Gold wax for the Xenomorph, and Brass color for the base. Wear gloves and apply the wax to a towel and gently go over the details. Avoid pressing really hard so that the void remain black/dark, this helps with final contrast of the model.  

As you can tell from these two photos the difference between the plain model and the colored one is pretty phenomenal and I HIGHLY recommend going through the effort! 

Thank you for visiting my page and taking the time to print my models. Your support is truly appreciated. I never expected to have so many people following me and fueling my passion for creating the models that I create!
