Pepto Does Nothing For This

I don't know how I missed this three weeks ago (I blame the holidays) but check out this chest burster from Grantmasters! It's not a big MOC, but it's certainly clever, and what's more is it's purist, that's all legit LEGO. Makes my ribs hurt just looking at it.

Xenomorph

I've always been a fan of HR Giger's imaginative nightmare the xenomorph. From the first time it scared the begeezus out of me in Alien to that time I previs'd hundreds of them ascending a mayan pyramid (true story). This version by LEGO Will captures it's biomechanical essence perfectly, but what's even more impressive is the photography. Shooting an all black MOC is very difficult, this shot is awesome. White background to clearly define the silhouette, just enough highlights to define the form, but not so much that it's overdone. And according to the EXIF, this was shot with an iPhone 6, making it even more impressive.

The Alien Project

The Arvo brothers are back with another stunning book. This time around it's everyone favorite xenomorph from Alien. The 220 page hardbound book is divided into four chapters, and looks like it will be a fantastic study in their approach and building methods. You can order it by emailing them.

K'Aeon Ra

This wonderfully alien craft by ratm0nk3y is like a combination of the Sulaco from Aliens, classic space Blacktron and a healthy dose of the collective human nightmare. Combine it's abstract and unusual form with some excellent photography, editing and backgrounds, and you've got some top-notch space goodness right here.

Ripley's Nightmare

Nothing like surviving a traumatic deep space event involving a murderous xenomorph then hypersleep for 57 years to mess up your sleep cycles huh? When Ripley finally made her way back to earth, she had a few issues to work through, not the least of which was the nightmares. This one in particular, expertly recreated by Grantmasters, would be enough to rattle anyone.

Long Haul

This is pretty cool. Fans of the sci-fi horror classic Alien should recognize this famous ship, but a good many are probably slightly wrong about what they're calling it. Most fans will identify this as the Nostromo, but they are only partly right. The Nostromo is actually a pretty small ship in comparison of the refinery it's towing. It's just the tip of the triangular portion at the front. Even at micro scale, this is a fairly large MOC by Grantmasters.

Narcissus

Fans of Alien, one of the best science fiction films of all time, will recognize this craft. This is the Narcissus, the shuttle craft/life boat of the Nostromo. The original was designed by Ron Cobb and built by Martin Bower and Phil Rae. This version was built by Sir Nadroj, and it's practically perfect. Despite it's simplistic shape, this model was not easy to build I'm sure, but I for one appreciate the effort, it's gorgeous.

Need A Hug?

Let's face it, face huggers are scary. In the original Alien it was disturbing and horrific, but in Aliens when they got upwardly mobile it was downright terrifying. But I have to say, this hugger by Grantmasters is almost cute, almost. It's very clever that's for sure, and the Gigeresque alien hand for the stand is brilliant. 

A Face Only An Alien Queen Could Love

Builder Grantmasters has recreated the cover of the Sideshow Collectibles' stunning book cover of Alien: The Weyland-Yutani Report. The results are chock full of disturbing Gigeresque goodness. I'm a little confused by the choice of weapons to add texture, but that xenomorph face is perfectly executed.

Who Wants A Good Probing?

This is Kekmor by builder Djokson, he's here to take over the planet and maybe do some probing (but I'm sure he'll be professional about it). There's some really cool part usage and clever construction going on here. It's oozing with character and seems ready to jump off the screen.

More Couch Action (Or Lack Of)

MacLane is back with a couple more in his brilliant couch series. Here we see RoboCop, enjoying a beverage after a long night on patrol, and Kane feeling VERY relaxed after a chest burster appears on the scene. 

Hynphorka

I am not entirely sure what a Hynphorka is to be honest, I'm having a hard time typing the name of this MOC out correctly, much less even pronouncing it right. Hynph-whatcha-ma-call-it aside, this is stellar ship, dripping with all kinds of crazy cool. Ricardo Soa has made great use of Bionicle and traditional LEGO bricks and successfully weaved them together to make this bad boy stick out. I'm hoping the alien that pilots this bad boy is friendly to us humans. Though, looking at the the missiles and laser cannons on this thing I imagine not. I could just see this thing strafing a remote human colony reaping souls along the way.

Burstin'

This is one of my favorites from the insanely talented Arvo brothers. If you haven't seen any of the Alien films, I'm afraid I've got a spoiler for you, these suckers like to develop inside your chest and when the time is right, they just sorta burst out.
