Howdy all! My bust is a custom Alien Warrior resin cast that is also a fully-operational Pez dispenser. I modified the original head and torso of an Alien figure to be able to be paired with a mini Pez dispenser and function properly while looking like a killer bust (The neck of the alien is actually all hand-sculpted). I created a silicon cast of the parts so I could cold-cast this piece with actual bronze powder in the mold to give the entire piece a bronze-cast feel. I originally didn't plan on added the wings and tail, but they looked way too cool not to add them so I went ahead and build-in rare-earth metal magnets into obscure set-ups so you can easily attach-detach them as you please for display. Before giving this guy a clear coat, I went ahead and applied some sea foam green paint and powdered graphite to give the piece an ancient oxidized bronze/ weathered look.

The stand is literally a series of stacked "junk parts"; from the left over resin disks in my mixing cup, to model car wheels this stand has it all. In the WIP pic you can see the layers of wood disks and metal cassette tape pulley. Once I had the desired form I went ahead and smeared on a bunch of putty and then put her through about 3 sand/prime cycles. Once The stand was nice and smooth with fresh primer I used a little powdered graphite and ink to give the stand a carved marble look and feel.

Overall I'm very pleased with how this piece turned out, and it was an absolute blast to create.
