Love seeing the build progression! always fun to get a peek at how others foam craft 👍
Thanks so much man! We’ve learned a lot from watching you, and HD foam is the best stuff out there!
That’s amazing! If Han Solo thought he hated mynocks, wait until he lands the Falcon on LV-426!
Right??? 🤣🤣🤣
This seemed like a complicated build with the patterns and layers but I really enjoyed watching you both work together.
Awesome! Thank you. We loved working on it together.
This Alien egg turned out great! It was really fun to see you two build together.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
That was awesome, and it was very cool to see you and the wife both working together. However, you guys lost me at the aluminum foil, and then you got me back, and lost me again at the ball, and got me back again, only to lose me again at the spiderwebs. Luckily I hung in there and you guys just blew my mind with this build. Hollywood would be doing themselves a favor if they picked you guys up.
BTW, CGRTist turned me onto your channel a couple of years back and I am so glad he did, It's been 2 years of amazing build projects. Each one more amazing than the last. Keep doing what you guys do and I will continue to keep on watching. I can't wait to see what you guys do next!
Thank you so very much! Appreciate you sticking with us on this build and all the others!
I'm not _eggzadurating_ when I say it's _eggceedingly_ _eggciting_ to see this _eggsample_ of an _eggcellent_ prop created by _eggsperts_
🤣🤣🤣
WOW!!! I did not realize how BIG this egg was! Excellent work guys, love it!!! 💯🔥
Big thanks!
What is the gestation period of an Alien facehugger? Apparently more than a year. That was, seriously, a LOT of work. Love the textural details with all the different foams. I’m not a Aliens/horror fan, but I can totally appreciate the work and craft that went into making this egg.
Omelettes anyone?
Thank you!!!
That turned out amazing. I feel like I've been living under a rock I've missed so much. Getting caught up but this project just goes to show you can get back to those projects you started ages ago with renewed passion and they can turn out amazeballs.. 😮
Thank you so much!!!! Welcome back!
the outtakes are even more awesome than the whole build. And this is on itself on another level!
LOL!! Thank you!!
This looked like a really fun build. I love the webbing effect and the final look!
Thank man, yeah the webbing really turned out good.
What an amazing build your skills and abilities with something as simple as foam is outstanding!!! You did good too Brian !!!
LOL!!! Thank you very much man 🤣
Love seeing how others make these pods. Several years ago I made a couple for a friend's Halloween party. Only had 4 days so I took lots of shortcuts. I used concrete sono tubes for the basic shape and tons of paper mache along with "moster mud" covered fabric. You both did a great job! Thanks for sharing.
That is awesome! We love hearing all the ways people assemble projects. 4 days would have stressed me out!! 🤣
Fantastic build guys!!! Love how you made it look so organic!! Gross and awesome!
Thanks Bro!!
Well first off I want to say that the egg looks amazing, Seemed like a really long build but came out excellent! I think it was well worth how long it took. Thanks for vid
Thanks bro
It is always a privilege to see my favorite crazy geeks in action and even more in a massive and great project like this, the result is phenomenal 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much!!
Aliens (second film) is still one of my all time favorite films. Amazing build you guys! Genius patterning! Love it.
Awesome! Thank you! Yeah, ALIENS is fantastic too!! Love that one!
4k release to download next month and physical media release in March of Aliens! I'm SUPER stoked!!!!
Super impressed! Seeing how you took foam and made this is just incredible.
Thank you very much!
Very nice result. Looks like a lot of work. Neat tips on texture and form.
Thank you very much!
WOW!! That is an awesome build I liked all the techniques!
Glad you liked it! Thank you
That thing is huge! Really cool techniques. Great job as always, but Brian please buy a few more 123 blocks. I don’t think you have enough.
🤣🤣 I would like some my friend! Thanks for watching.
Turn it sideways and add some teeth, and it looks like Audrey II. Seriously great job
LOL, totally. Thanks!
Fabulous work as ever, you need to make a jack in the box style version that catapults the plushie hugger at people for Halloween :-D
That would be awesome!
Alien isn’t my jam, but my gosh this was entertaining. The result is art. Awe inspiring results guys!!!
Wow, thank you so much.
That's absolutely amazing, awesome job. You guys always do incredible work
Thank you very much!
I’m making one , using a spirit Halloween jumping spider to make a face hugger jump out.
OH!!! That's a great idea!!!!
Great video, Absolutely amazing build. Keep up the awesome work the both of you do.
Thank you so much!
Really awesome. I have wanted to make one of these since seeing Evil Ted make one on his arm.
Right??? I loved that build too!!!
It's quite a bit messier but you can also use an electric drill to create a makeshift lathe that will spin the foam base around and allow you to shape the foam into an egg just like you would shape a piece of wood on an actual lathe. I've seen foam eggs 6 feet in diameter or more made this way and the results are basically perfect every time. Tons and tons of foam "sawdust" left over so you definitely should do it outside in an area that you can afford to make a mess in.
Wow, that’s a crazy cool idea!
Awesome Alien egg!...Alien is my all-time favorite movie...want to build my own egg at some point...stay safe you two!
It's one of mine too!! Hope you make your own!
Well done Brian! I wanted to make one for a long time...now that you did it so well, I just wont! 😂😂😂
Thank you!!! You should totally make one!
LMAO! I just made some fried eggs and sit down to eat wondering what to watch. Well YES I do want to see the new Smugglers room EGG build. It's eggzactly what I need. :D
🤣🤣🤣. Awesome! Thank you!
Such an awesome project!!!!! Love it!!! ❤😊❤
Thanks so much!!
Great build....only missing the drippy vaseline 😋
Yeah, we absolutely need the dripping element for sure
Came out amazing guys. Awesome job. 👍😎
Thank you!
Looks freakin awesome!
Love the laughs at the end too. Lol! Cheers guys.
Thanks so much!
That was amazing! Nice work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing work guys!
Thank you!
Not Star Wars but you guys made it so it has to be good. Also reminds me of the egg the Jawas want in the Mandalorian.
Thank you!
It is Star Wars adjacent. Several Wars production people also worked on Alien…
@@destinycaptain247 I know I was making a joke about how he makes Star Wars props and makes jokes when it is not Star Wars
@@Deviled_EG - All good. Just throwing it out there. Some folks don’t know.
Great episode guys! Everyday is better when there is a new smugglers room episode!
Thank you!
That looks great,a lot of work like
Thank you!
Very impressive i love it. Many greetings from Germany
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you know you could have just made a plaster bandage copy of your Styrofoam into halves put them back together and then add the form on the outside would’ve been far less trouble. Acetone also takes off superglue or nail polish remover.
that is certainly another way to make it.
That is amazing. Have to turn off the sound when you are cutting the Styrofoam
Lol, sorry. For some reason I’m one of those people that actually likes the sound 🙃
Amazing I love it.
I'm glad you like it
Love ur guys videos .looks great
Thanks so much
Hi Guys. Great build. Can I offer a suggestion. I’m not sure if you were wearing a respirator while you were using the contact cement but you really should. My stepdad used it frequently and ended up with multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer. You will need a respirator that has carbon filters and is rated for chemicals.
Thank you much! It’s great advice. We did wear one, and then got lazy. Totally my fault too.
I never really bothered noticing that Xenomorph eggs were so...suggestive looking. Well that's gonna haunt my dreams so thanks I guess
🤣🤣🤣 your welcome! 🤣🤣🤣
"Feed me, Seymour!"
🤣
Looking good! I ended up 3d printing mine and it came out great but for next Halloween, I'll be adding the cobwebbing effect to it. That's one thing that mine lacked. I dripped hot glue all over it off the sides to make it extra juicy with the face hugger coming up out of the egg.
Thanks! Yeah the webbing turned out pretty good. It’s a challenge, but overall cool effect.
I think I’d like to go back and add epoxy like you did with the hot glue. Ours isn’t slimy enough 🤣
@@TheSmugglersRoom that was my first foray into epoxy and smelled far worse than I anticipated!!! Next time it happens in the shop not in the house 😂
Another awesome video guys. Also may I ask what type of pens are you using when you are writing on the foam?
Thank you! Yes, that is a “Pica Pen” and it’s awesome! Here is a link (it is an Amazon affiliate link) amzn.to/40K217o
The whole time, I have "Little Shop of Horror" vibes.
🤣
This looks terrific but (and I hate to say this) what will you do when the ball deflates over time?
It’s a great question. We left the bottom of the egg open. So when the ball finally collapses, I can cut into it from the bottom and simply reinforce it back to its shape.
Eggcellent!
🤣
I'm almost forty years old, so I must start practicing my dad jokes!
Eggcelent
🤣🤣🤣
You guys did a beautiful job with that egg, but I don’t think I would want that disgusting thing in my house. 😊
LOL thanks!
Have you used locktite foam? I watched another maker use it for all kinds of projects even making masks with it.
I have no actually. I need to check that out!
StiltbeastStudios. Lots of videos on CZcams using locktite foam.
Very cool indeed. Love the details. Lol Gieger was "organic." More like dark erotic. Curious I have seen some who sculpt. Add a purple wash over the pink. To give it a lil more eewy gewy. Wonder if that would give it added ewww factor inside. Along with maybe some uv resin. To up the slick ewww...
Great ideas! Definitely need the UV resin
A year. Wow. You could have made some wine in that egg. Bad idea, I guess. If it mixed with the paint, you'd have an abomination -- Martini-and-Rossi-enna. 😮 ••• Thanks! PEACE!!!
LOL! Well, to be fair it sat on the floor for most of that year, but yes, we should of had something fermenting in there!! LOL
I never had good luck doing the pattern technique. You made it look so easy. And thats not 123 bocks. Thats 1 to 12?
🤣. I have a 1-2-3 block obsession
@@TheSmugglersRoom I have a set of 2 and am very jealous!
Low key this was great, but I want that shop pen she was using to draw the lines.... I'm sure they won't see this so if anyone does see this and knows what pen that was please let me know, thanks.
Thanks for watching! That pen is a Pica Pen. Here’s a link for ya: amzn.to/40I1zXq
Many thanks.@@TheSmugglersRoom
The insulation foam was a great idea, it looks nicely disgusting!
Thanks! That’s what we thought too!
Is your cat named Jones by any chance?
No, we named him Bossk, but dang it, now I wish we’d have named him Jones!
@@TheSmugglersRoomA name for the next cat, but Bossk is still a cool name for a cat though.😺
All that foamboard insulation? Should only gost about a BILLION DOLLARS! Did you make this back when foamboard was waaaay cheaper?
well, definitely not a billion dollars. I picked up a 4 foot by 8 foot sheet of thick foam from my local Home Depot for $30 dollars. I still have a ton of it left. Probably enough to cover several projects.
:)
👍
That is disgusting, great job!
🤣 thank you!
