vintage emblem and lighting check





still not finished but heres a few pics of the lights.
the badge on the front is a genuine 1960 ford consul emblem from a car i owned in the late eighties, i had given it to a friend of mine to restore the enamel and forgotten about it, i visited him last week, he gave it back "hey remember this" he said, yay ! perfect saucer material.
i loved that car soooooooo much, and yes it was a convertible.

space zombie

i wanted to create something a little more sinister for my next project, the idea for it initially was a kind of ghost ship with a long dead astronaut at the wheel of his craft. a bit like the old aurora horror kits forgotten prisoner.
but then i thought naaaah a space zombie would much be more fun.
the cockpit tub is made fromm an acrylic tumbler, i will be using this to create lighting efects later on, in the first pic you can see a green halo and two lights inside the helmet it has two tiny bulbs inside that shine into a green plastic hemisphere embeded in the helmet.
the pilot, steering column, and cockpit detail is sculpted from white milliput epoxy putty on a wire frame.
