This is studio scale replica of the head crest and face. It is created as a tribute to the fine work by James Cameron and the artists at STAN WINSTON STUDIOS. This is a labor of love and serves as a testiment to the power of practical effects.
  

The QUEEN kit is cast in a resin/fiberglass matrix and includes:
- The carapice casting (HUGE)
 - The upper head
 - The jaw
 - Upper teeth (clear castings)
 - Lower teeth (clear castings)
 - Set of silcone jaw tendon castings (4 parts)
 - Inner jaw casting
 



  HOW IT WAS MADE: Sculpting process:  First we crafted a sculpting armature consisting of a thick styrene form cut to shape and curved.  This was mounted on a steel stand that allowed vertical and horizontal mounting options.  Then we began slapping clay.    Once the base forms were approved, the detailing process began: Completed Sculpt (TOP HALF)   MOLDING THE UPPER SHELL The casting of the upper shell was accomplished in urethane plastic.  It was refined, trimmed and prepped for the sculpt to continue:   SCULPTING THE UNDERSIDE  What you see above is the bottom half of the MASTER MOLD.   Now what's left is: THE FACE:  The jaw and head are engineered with mobility/poseability in mind.  The tongue and groove system allows for maximum flexiblity.    The teeth & tendons are sculpted separtely.  Here's the teeth in progress: The tendons will be in a transluscent rubber and attach at the slots indicated on the skull.   And here's the inner mouth structure:   special thanks to Tyler Cooper & Chuck Westfield.   Team DreamScheme.
