Sculpt update in the Protomorph (Alien: Covenant) 1:18 scale and the Praetorian Xenomorph (Aliens: Defiance) 1:18 scale - all works in progress.
For what time I had this weekend I was able to sculpt most of the exoskeleton of the upper body. Still have the back and spine to complete. The abdomen will be separated into two pieces similar to how Revoltech engineered their alien figures. In fact, I've cast several copies of the revoltech abdomen, dremeled them down and will sculpt over the frames. I've already used this technique with the Spitter alien and it looks to work fine.
As for the Praetorian, I am sculpting the Big Chap (79 Alien) all over again, just in a larger scale. Began with the shoulders and will move onto the upper chest this week. As far as the tendons on the mouth...I'm thinking of going back and removing the clay sculpt and add clear hot glue after painting the creature. The effect worked wonderfully with various versions of my 79 beastie...
Not photographed is a build up of the upper torso to the Neomorph and the very early beginnings of a Newborn head sculpt (Alien: Resurrection). Status of those coming soon. #alien #aliens #covenant #defiance #darkhorsecomics #praetorian #miniatures #sculpture #actionfigure #nostromo #avesfixitsculpt
