Just dug out my old Halcyon 1/1 Face Hugger I bought back in 1992 at the Glasgow Alien War show that I mentioned in the post above, I started off assembling it back then (its made of soft pliable vinyl) and soon realised it would be a bit floppy, so made a sort of skeleton out of wire coat hangers and stuffed the body with tea towels as I recall? and also filled its tail with silicon as used for sealing windows and suchlike. I figured with a wire skeleton I can bend the fingers and pose it any way I want, even around someone's face
I never finished painting it and my skills back in 92 were even worse than they are now, but scale modelling is a major hobby here now, one day I'll strip off all that old paint and use my new airbrush to do justice to a model that is much sought after because its no longer in production ... wish I'd bought that 1/1 scale Pulse Rifle while I had the chance too, the Face Hugger kit even back in 92 cost me about £50.
