Project Name: Xenomorph
About this mod / project:
Since I first saw the 1979 Alien movie, I’ve been amazed by the creature created by H.R. Giger. In may of this year we were celebrating the 35th year of the release of the movie. So in march, I told to myself that I should push myself to do the themed build to celebrate this but I was already in the process of the Hurrikaine build so the pace of this possible build did come to almost a stop. In fact at this time I was only looking at THE case that could host this build.
Then on may 12th, H.R. Giger passed away…..That striked me so hard that at this moment I knew I had to do it….not to honor the Alien franchise but to Honor the man behind the creature.
