In response to the late 90's alien craze John Smith sculpted this large "Alien Grey". This alien is much larger than it looks. I saw the sculpture at Death Studios before the mold was made, and it was impressive in scale and detail...

At Morris costumes we received more than a few Prototypes from David Lady and Dave Ayres... I cannot now recall which was with Death Studios... any way they were having difficulties with getting their paints to stick to the rubber (it reminded me of a peeling sunburn) I am sure that they have this problem fixed by now... some of their sculpts were a bit "crude" back then....
