Just bought one of these on the secondary market, after cancelling my initial preorder it’s one I regretted letting go and it’s still always caught my eye. Hopefully should get it early next week.
Matt did you ever chrome the eyes on yours? It’s the first thing I plan to do when I get it in hand.

Nice, I suspect you'll like this one once it arrives. And no, not yet. Mine is sat in the corner of my games room but I've been working constantly this year and decorating in my rare free time (so much to do still, arrrgh) I will do them eventually however for sure. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Just got the Bust in and WOW very impressed! It’s bigger than I thought it would be and the paint job is awesome it can easily hold its own against my Ecc busts. Absolute bargain considering the quality and edition size! The seams don’t bother me really as when on display you don’t notice them, only negative is the eyes which are plain silver when they should be chrome.......but that’s already fixed
The painting process only took about 30mins start to finish!
Lady alien!
Before and after difference

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Awesome piece. Heck of a bargain too for what you get. Sad that not too many people got into this and the line eventually got cancelled. I remember people were complaining about how the color looked totally off compared to the prototype but what they didn't understand was that this whole thing was translucent resin and the colors changed depending on the lighting as can be clearly seen by your pics. Congrats on the piece and the update you made btw!

I actually used the Molotow chrome pens (literally draw the chrome on) the masking off was more difficult than the application

Yes completely agree the paint is excellent and you can never beat translucent resin for this type of Bust

I havn't tried those, I'll look them up. And yeah, the paint and finish on this is excellent! It's one of those pieces that really has to be seen in person to appreciate. I'm still hoping they will put that colonist maquette back up for order one day....
