NEWBORN149
Sculpt progress on the hands of the Egg Layer Xenomorph from Aliens:Defiance (Dark Horse Comics) and the Newborn from Alien: Resurrection.
1:18 scale, work in progress. Sculpt using Aves FIXIT Sculpt- Aves Clay
Completed the sculpt to the Egg Layer's ambidextrous hand. I'm hoping once I make some plastic castings I can take a heat gun and reposition some of the fingers for slightly different poses. Always nice to have a variety of hands to switch out on a finished figure. Next step with this project are the upper legs. The sculpt for these are already in progress.
Close to finishing the left hand to the Newborn alien. Working on less mechanical detail and more skin folds and veining. Such detail will need to work itself up through the forearms which are also close to completion. Have one more hand to complete. I don't think many hand variants will come from this. Possible a slightly different with the hands "outreaching" but nothing more. Still struggling with the hip articulation and how I will build the sculpt to work with a ball/socket joint.
More to come! These images take time to shoot and usually steal a couple days from any sculpting I could be doing but I've always said that photography is part of the custom action figure hobby. You can make a masterpiece but if it isn't shot well, it's a waste of time and effort. Same goes with any sculpture or work of art. Gotta put your best foot forward.
Thanks for looking! Let me know if you have any questions!
