Here's a little project just for fun. I loved the new Spielberg remake of War of the Worlds and its terrifying alien war machines. As well as the Alien ships and creatures, I got interested in the blood roots (or red weed) the aliens were spreading across the land. Maybe it's because I grow a few things at home or just wanted to try something gory for once... I don't know, but thought I'd give this a try as it's not a massive undertaking and it's different. Maybe I can thread some around my other War of the Worlds props that're hanging on the wall.  |

hahah...blood weed??!! What next? I expect you're going to inject red paint into straws to make this prop? Or a plastic flexible tube might be better. You could glue bits of string to it and paint those red to blend in. Love to see this one when you've finished. What are these other War of the World props you have?

I plan to just sculpt the weed strand actually, but nice idea using existing bits and blending together. I may cast it in a translucent clear casting rubber and add red paint or fluid inside the casting. I'm doing a head of the Alien for my wall, and bought an Alien Tripod model to build. I started a 1/1 scale section of the Tripod, which is the small area that opens up and the dying alien falls through. The head sculpt will go into that and I could dress up the area around this with red weed. Attachments:
