After painting the United States Colonial Marines for the Aliens: Another Glorious day in the Corp boardgame, I got on with Ripley, Newt and everyone’s favourite dogmeat: Carter J.Burke.
First up, Ellen Ripley:
Ripley was pretty straightforward to paint, other than those custom Reebok boots. I wanted to get them as close to the movie as possible and it took a while before I was happy with how they looked, not to mention some serious searching for reference photos.
Newt next:
This is a simple, but characterful sculpt of Newt, wearing a USCM helmet and giving her “Ay-firmative” salute. There’s some nice detail with the creases in her dungarees, and drybrushing has given them a nice, worn denim look.
Lastly, Carter J. Burke:
This is a very mice sculpt, with Burke’s pose and raised eyebrow helping to convey his arrogant demeanor. The pattern of squares on his bodywarmer is finely detailed, so a wash helps define the pattern nicely. It took me several attempts until I was happy with the look of the chequered pattern on his shirt. It doesn’t hold up to very close scrutiny, but from three feet away looks just fine.
