I would suggest buying some pistachios and eating the nut and keep the shells….


really..

JimSelzer07 Oct 2007 10:39 p.m. PST

I am sure Leading Edge made a set that included eggs but it escapes me at the moment which one

Hastati07 Oct 2007 10:39 p.m. PST

I'm pretty sure there are some alienesque eggs in the Kryomek range.

CmdrKiley07 Oct 2007 10:53 p.m. PST

Fortress figures used to have some. Cast in clear resin too. Now that I need them, I don't see them on their site anymore.

Earthquake08 Oct 2007 1:08 a.m. PST

I've come across 2 myself.

I believe that Grendel make some in their sci-fi scenery range (it's part of an 'Aliens' type set of 3 resin pieces)

I've also had some from Monolith in the past – they are not on the website, but of you drop Steve an email he may be able to help.

doesn't armourcast have some?

I've made some out of 'translucent' off-white supersculpy, with a brighter color 'shape' baked inside or 'glow in the dark'…

*slish…slish*…and elmers glue with a touch of green food coloring (very diluted), makes great slime or theres a 'smashing' little article on Reaper site about 'monster drool' that works for a lot of stuff…

My solution.. Whoppers Mini Robin Eggs by Hershey..
About 20mm length, various colors with a 'mottled' look,
and actually paintable.

Also, in their unprimed state, quite edible..

black tree design makes eggs for their revok aliens

Black Cat Bases08 Oct 2007 9:01 a.m. PST

We make them, and you can have them in clear resin in a colour of your choice if you prefer:) link Thanks Jo

Scotia-Grendel has two types: one for the Kryomek range, and one in the generic scifi resin range. The latter has a whole bunch of not-Aliens stuff.

Possibly Ainsty, now part of Old Crow has some…

You know what looks pretty good, cooked shells for chestnuts. Put an X cut on the top or side and cook and take out the nut. the shell looks a lot like the alien pod. Really!

I forgot how nice this "Aliens" trailer was:

Ok. I decided to make two greens (one opening, one closed).

Wish me luck.

Greens are done. They look great next to my EM-4 troopers.

I will post photos this weekend.

The kryomek range has lots of eggs in it, either from Scotia-Grendel or from Kryomek USA (no website, email them via the address listed here in the TMP directory).

I seem to remember Fortress Figures had some too, and they do sometimes cast their out-of-print miniatures on request.
