Alien Projects dreams a little dream…

2009 was a year of accomplishments and milestones for pro die-cast customizer Chris “Night Stalker” Walker. The convention circuit saw the end of his lengthy world tour which was filled with destinations that spanned the globe, and of course, brought more accolades and wins in the customs contest arena.

While traveling the world and raking in awards, Chris actually had a hidden agenda brewing, the second half of the year brought hints of change from the veteran customizer. Those hints finally grew into an official announcement of the launch of “Alien Projects” – a new business entity that would allow Chris to grow beyond graphics and customs based on existing product.

Along with that announcement came a glimpse of a project that has been two years in the making. Chris’s vision was to create a new casting that combined retro styling with a futuristic 50’s edge. The result is now known as the “Dreamliner.” Collectors got a glimpse of the Dreamliner’s basic design via a resin cast earlier this year, and we’ve more recently been treated to this set of prototype shots.

These shots really show how the piece will be coming together, and I can hardly wait to see it with paint and graphics. Speaking of paint and graphics, Chris already has the ball rolling in the way of partnering with some very talented artists in the die-cast and automotive world to lend there talents in bringing there artistic twist to the Dreamliner. One such talent is non other than “Lil Daddy” Dennis Roth!

The word from Chris is that the first official release of the Dreamliner that collectors can get their hands on will be happening sometime later this month. The quantity of that release and its price point are still to be determined, but you can bet that I’ll be posted as soon as its available! You can also stayed tuned to updates on the Dreamliner and other happenings over at the official Alien Projects website.
