An alien creature maquette from the production of David Fincher's sci-fi horror sequel Alien3. After the events of Aliens, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) was the sole survivor of the Sulaco, crash-landing on a prison planet. When she discovered that a xenomorph egg survived the crash and a new creature had been born, Ripley joined forces with the convicts to destroy the species once and for all. Maquettes were used as a visual aid during the development of the look of the new xenomorph. This was an important part of the pre-production process, as prior incarnations of the xenomorph had been gestated in humans. In Alien3, the xenomorph gestates in an animal ۠initially a cow, but this was changed to a dog in the final cut. To make the creature more animalistic, it was designed to be quadrupedal when running, although it could stand bipedally. The maquette was designed by Academy Award-winners Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff, as well as Chris Halls (now Cunningham), and was inspired by H.R. Giger's original design. This particular maquette was the master copy; the first one out of the mould. Halls sculpted the model and it was hand-painted by Gino Acevedo, an FX industry veteran, renowned for his painting techniques. His name is signed and dated at the bottom of one of the feet. Once completed, the maquette was sent to Boss Films to be used as a paint guide for their "Go-Motion" puppet. Woodruff appeared in the film in the xenomorph suit for all close-ups and wide shots. The maquette is made of resin, features a translucent skull, and there are two small cavities on the bottom of the shoulder blades which were caused by air pockets during the first casting. The tail is a seperate piece and was also a paint-reference master. It attaches to the main body to complete the creature's iconic look. The maquette is displayed on a wooden stand with a metal rod for support. There is some wear from age and production use. The tip of the tail has broken off and there are small areas where the paint has worn away. Dimensions: 75 cm x 50 cm x 137 cm (29 1/2" x 19 3/4" x 54")£10000-15000 Ω
