Bovine Alien Abduction - Part One - The Pursuit....
« on: July 19, 2013, 04:41:10 PM »
Warning for Cow owners - The following images might be very upsetting, so proceed at your own risk! :)


Allow me to present "Q'Porraaah", the evil being from Alpha Centauri:  >:D




And the sweet little "Rosamund", the innocent and frightned cow:  :o




The plot thickens....




Since Alpha Centaurians are no match to outrun a cow, there must be some sort of airship involved:




Frightening sight, isnt it?

Well, let us just hope for the best .... and be prepared for the worst! :)

Hah - splendid!!  ;D

I know where you got the Alien & Saucer from (Pegasus), but where is the cow from, and have you modified it at all?

Hey wait! I thought the cow abductors were from Zeta Reticuli. :o

Hilarious diorama idea, BTW. I'm looking forward to the finished piece. ;D

Hi

Thanks for the comments!
This is one of those little "weekend" projects, jut for the fun of it :)

The cow is in resin, from the "Doug's originals" line on animal figures.
The only alteration I made was the necklace with the cowbell (copper cable + styrene).

Thanks for watching!

For some reason I'm tempted to consider a reversal... ET finds a bull and does a Full Pamplona.

Gotta admit, it'd be a funny pair of bookends... a perfect gift for that crazy UFO-nut friend. LOL

No McDonald's sticker...because we all know Antonio prefers Burger King.

Nice update! I really like how you somehow captured the look of alien metal on the saucer.

Why are the aliens these days always naked? Back in the day they all wore silver suits. There must be something in between. BTW, your project looks cool. Just once seeing the bull chasing the alien would be quite a switch!

Beautiful job with the alien and the cockpit!

There's that video - "Aliens gone wild" where you can see aliens expose their pseudopods and lift up their cloacal flaps.

Just paint on some silver Speedo's. That should do the trick.

Hi guys

I am a big Gary Larson fan myself.
Those 2 volumes wheighing almost 20 pounds on mya bookshelf with the Complete Far Side will prove it! :)

And there is a good reason for the aliens being naked nowadays .... probably something to do with getting the cattle feel uneasy :)

Anyway, this Part 1 is now complete.











































And now the 64.000 Dollars questions:

Will the alien get the cow?

Will the cow get the alien?

Will they be married in Vegas by an Elvis clone?

Only time will tell...

Don´t miss Part 2. Soon in a forum near you :)

Brilliant job.

Though my mind is playing over those great quotes from that most brilliant of movies.... Paul.

Forget the silver speedo's.. he could perhaps be wearing the Paul style board shorts.

Years ago, someone did a bovine in battle armour, vaguely similar to a Warhammer 40K Space Marine. Perhaps Betsy the Cow's soon-to-appear anti-alien hero?
