You don’t usually associate the gray aliens with big cities, but I had this fire hydrant charm I’d been trying to use for decades and figured it would clearly establish that these guys were on Earth. These are two of six different poses made by Imperial and sold in a set called “Star Patrol”. Imperial also manufactured slightly larger (2.31”) versions of the same six poses in an “Alien Invaders” set.

The figures just got the usual sanding before painting. I especially liked that Imperial made the heads different shapes, so I purposely varied the gray skin tones. The sidewalk is a piece of sheet styrene that was vacuum formed over some fine sandpaper.

Completed in 1999.
