Sculpt update on the Space Jockey - 1:18 scale - ALIEN 79. After a few video updates, thought I'd produce a few pictorial updates on my progress.
Phase II has begun, building and sculpting the forward section of the creature's vessel. This section will support the large "cannon" that towers over the doomed pilot (to be sculpted later).
I've also added 1/2 inch more to the base of the sculpture, as the original proportions didn't match up to the amount of space needed to produce the lower half of the sculpt below the creature's body. This was done by creating a 1/2 styrene frame, attaching it to the base and sculpting over it. Originally it was a full inch but I realized quickly it was too much and reduced accordingly. I'm happy with how it looks now, not only in its own proportions but to the scale of the 1:18 EVA figures that I'm also working on (seen in the shots).
Do I continue on or take a break? I need to take a pause and work on other projects to keep things fresh. Not that I won't work on this while taking on other builds but I need to get into those projects first and bring this back into the fold later. It's that or I keep working on this and let the other projects gather dust. Not cool with doing that.
Hope you enjoy the video updates I've posted recently. You can find them all in one place on my youtube page that I'm slowly populating.

I'm nowhere near as good shooting video updates as many of you are but a guy has to start somewhere.
Thanks again for all the interest! More to come!!! #nostromo #spacejockey #sculpture #biomechanical #hrgiger #miniature
