The top half of this saucer lifts off and reveals a cozy resting place for the aliens as they travel through space. A boarding ladder can drop down or be folded up to keep the aliens secure. The alien family is included with every saucer. Weighing in at about 4 pounds, the saucer and family are hand-crafted from aluminum and bronze.
The saucer measures 10" in diameter and 7.5" high. The father measures 3.75" tall, the mother measures 3.25" tall, and the juvenile measures 2.5" tall.
While the lost-wax method of creating bronze sculptures is widely known, Scott Nelles utilizes the sand-casting method, a lesser-known process often overlooked in the arts. Through this method, he gives life to his artistic vision, making his work more accessible to the public and sparking curiosity in those who appreciate his creations.
