Having just acquired the “Aliens” muscle set made by Super7 I thought I’d start by painting up the two largest pieces, being the Queen Alien and Ripley in the P-5000 Powerloader. Having spent some hours painting them I thought I’d give you my review of this set, or at least these two.

As with the first set of the “Alien” figures released last year they appear to be by the same sculptor. The details are a little soft and I guess may have lost some sharpness from the original masters during the manufacturing process. Big up to them though for taking on the Powerloader, this cannot have been an easy sculpt to process (and paint!) without resulting in the usual ‘blocking’ one sees where a number of gaps appear betwixt body lines and other detail.

In my view, given a quick look, the detail does not jump out of this set in its raw form, in perhaps the same way as their MOTU range. From my painting perspective it is all the more important to obtain a fair likeness to the characters they portray. The Alien Queen is overall a nice piece and is justifiably a larger figure than the other Aliens in the set. I have another batch from this set currently in my painting process, pictures of which I will post in due course.

Finally I would like to thank our fellow LRG’er Plasticfiend for assisting me in obtaining this set. We here in the UK can’t easily (or cheaply) obtain all these American manufactured goodies.

Great work Mike - you achieve incredible texture in your work; it really elevates the sculpts.

Amazing job. You even painted nicely in the loader. And the app on the alien is just awesome.

If only I could paint half as good as you do!

This is some incredible work. Really impressive job on that loader, too.

Thanks, that inner part of the loader was not an easy paint.!
