Keliens 101

So, you're curious how Keliens are cloned, huh? Well, let's take a quick stroll down a mad (albeit awesome) scientist's memory lane...

We start the process off with a piece of wire bent into shape and welded to a yellow base using a couple blobs of epoxy (click the images to view the larger versions).

Step 01

With the foundation in place it's time to start "fleshing" out the rest of the body.

Step 02  Step 03

With the body in pretty good shape it was time to look at the arms and head. There were a number of revisions, and some of the images here just show shapes for reference only.

Step 04  Step 05  Step 06

Decided to add a bit of bulk to the legs, it will add some shape as well.

Step 07  Step 08

Here I decided to go with the over-sized head to match the overall odd porportions. I use grey sandable primer as a scratch coat to weed out imperfections.

Step 09

Revisions to the left arm and chest. He has knees now, and yes, the head has taken a decidely alien look that I like.

Step 10

Finally, after much blood, sweat, tears, glued fingers and inhaled primer, the first completed prototype!

Step 11  Step 11 (back)

Now that the inital figure is done the cloning can begin!
