here are a couple of updated picture of Alien in her current state...

from here on out post will be made as we progress on the Alien PC Mod...

i'm using four monitor stands as case feet...as is, the hinges are mounted in the wrong position...

we are going to remove the hinge and modify it so that it is perpendicular to the top of the stand...

as you can see the cutout is not large enough to accept the locking tab...

a bit of work with the rotary tool should correct this...

we reassemble the hinge...

we still need to remove a bit of the casing to allow the hinge to sit flush against the back of the stand...

score your line, then cut here...

and here she is all snugged up...

repeat steps on the remaining three stands and you have a set, ready to mount...

since it takes so much time to do video production, we go back to using a camera till i can get rid of this cold...

today we use fiberglass to bond the skull caps onto the skull halves and do a bit of sculpting to create more alien like features....

today we create the spacers that go between each skull section...

with all the pieces lock in a vise we create all twenty piece at once...
