Alien Egg for Face Hugger

last photo ←

I made this egg for my boyfriend because he is an Alien fan and Introduced me to the Trilogy/Quadrilogy. I made three of these eggs :) and I was excited about how they turned out. When I presented it/them to him, I put dry ice inside and had it flowing out of the top of the eggs. :D I painted a base and had it illuminated so you can see the crackle texture. Thanks for your time!

I don't watch alien movies...too creepy for me but that egg is fantabulous! Another web site showed how to make a dragon's egg from Harry Potter, real egg, hot glue, and paint, but a glass egg as amazing as yours would be even more tremendous! It would make a terrific gift for an adult fan of Potter, since it is glass. Again, FAN-TAB-YOU-LOUS!

Wow, im impressed, you have done a great job there! i keep eyeing up a resin kit of the m41a pulse rifle! Also, personally, i think the first two films are far far better than the 3 and 4th.

i've never worked with resin, this was glass, but i want to work with resin lol. it looks really cool, textured, you can do almost anything with it, can't you? :D

You should give resin a try, its cheaper, more robust - essentially you could take one of your eggs, make a silicon mould, from that mould you could make in the region of 500 resin copies, sell them for 10 pounds(20 usd) a piece, that makes 5,000 pounds to me. hmmm, maybe i should be doing this.

Oh, how cool! I love the dry ice idea, too. If you do another version, spring-load the facehugger. ;)

Incredible work. I'm also a Alien fan and those eggs are amazing. On one of the close shots you can see the texture on the outside looks a heck of alot like an egg!! Great job on these pieces of art!
