Completed 1:18 scale, 4.25" tall sculpt of Darth Malgus - Sith Lord from the Lucasarts/Bioware MMO game Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Figure is a complete sculpt using a custom articluated frame as it's armature. The 8 different heads have all been sculpted and hand painted - each depicting a window of time in the life of Malgus and inspired by the cinematic trilogies created by Blur Studios: Return, Hope and Deceived.

All armor is hand sculpted and original. The chest and left shoulder armor are removable and can be replaced with "battle damaged" armor as an alternate. Hood is a sculpted piece and works along side the soft goods cape which is an altered piece from a store bought VOTC Darth Vader.

Lightsaber is hand sculpted, casted in plastic. Saber does not light up. Bean is removable from hilt.

Sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt and hand painted using Testors Polly Scale and Floquil acrylics.

Savage Armor Setup 37 by sith_fire30

Sculpting the upper legs at the moment. Because the upper body weight is so great, I will be replacing the microman feet with larger ball jointd feet similar to my Vader figure.

Completed both sets of shoulder armor. These pieces are attached to the arms by clear bands glued to the underside of the armor, that wrap around and under the shoulder ball joints. This allows the arms free range of movement without the shoulder armor falling off.

Some additional images of the paint progress to the Fifield Monster - CGI Version 1:18 scale - Prometheus. Pre- Crystal Clear recasting. Painted several just in case the recasting process didn't work. Fortunately the process worked the first time out but I may go ahead and recast cast a second one to pick the best of the two. ‪#‎prometheus‬ ‪#‎fifield‬ ‪#‎fifieldmonster‬ ‪#‎iloverocks‬ ‪#‎cgivspractical‬ ‪#‎alien‬ ‪#‎mutation‬ ‪#‎painting‬

Sculpt update on "Sleeping" Ripley - Narcissus Shuttle - ALIEN 79, 1:18 scale.

Recreating the final scene in ALIEN where Ripley begins her ill fated hypersleep aboard the Narcissus shuttle.

The figure casting has accrued some sculpting revisions - minor but needed. You may see some mild shading around the face, epoxy that was added especially for the cheekbones that had to be raised.

The figure fits into a bedding that was sculpted with AVES FIXIT and shaped before curing to fit the figure in place.

The canopy shots have been adjusted to soften the vacuumed plastic imperfections since it distorts the white resin copy of the sculpt beneath. So it's kinda like an overlay till the final figure is painted.

So this piece will go into the Narcissus Shuttle diorama I am currently building. I am working on a sleeping Jones the Cat that will be included with Ripley within the pod.

Thanks for your patience with the updates. I'm enjoying my new job and I feel I will be able to commit more time in the evenings to increase my sculpt work on the several projects you all have been following here.

More to come!!

Mold/Cast Ripley_Lambert 5 by sith_fire30

Mold/Resin updates on the "sleeping" Nostromo Ripley/ Lambert and Narcissus Ripley figures - 1:18 scale. ALIEN 79.

Raw pulls from the molds caught with my smartphone. No cleanups, nothing trimmed away - as is, straight from (or still in) the mold....and they are coming out great! Don't worry - Ripley will have arms...Promise! LOL!

QUEEN75 by sith_fire30

Sculpt update on The Queen - Aliens (86) - and the Egg Morpher - Aliens: Defiance - Dark Horse Comics. Both 1:18 scale.

The Queen

Completed the rough sculpt of the lower mandible and teeth. The lower mandible is a skeletal sculpt for the moment while I adjust and refine the teeth. After the lower teeth are complete, flesh detail will be added to the mandible.

The teeth are being sculpted on a separate pallet, so when completed can have a mold made and cast in clear resin. The teeth are individually sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt, a two-part epoxy from Aves Studio LLC. Once cured, I've begun refining each using dental tools and fine-grit sandpaper. Hope to have them at a full shine similar to the top set of teeth soon.

I still have to sculpt the gum line for the lower teeth and the pallet will eventually be set deeper into the lower mandible than what you see here. Many adjustments will be made after castings are made. Then additional casts will be made.

Do the top and bottom teeth line up? Close but not really - not too concerned with that since my sculpt will feature multiple head sculpts and not a jointed jaw. So perfect alignment isn't a priority here...although I will do my best to get it as close as possible before making molds.

The Egg Morpher

Began filling the detail to the back "pipes" of the beast. I've also begun the sculpt of the creature's hands which will be very similar to the Giger Alien hands but larger. The rough sculpt right now resemble Bugs Bunny gloves and not that of the nightmarish xenomorph but no worries, that will all change....just how I work.

Hope you enjoyed the updates!!! Trying to get an update knocked out each week. If not, every other week for sure with updates in between.

Questions are welcome! Thanks again!

Sculpt progress on the 1:18 scaled Space Jockey - ALIEN 1979.

Sculpt material used - Aves FIXIT Sculpt by Aves Clay

So I'm only a couple of hours sculpt time to completing the back on the Space Jockey! I am currently working on the piping that is located behind the head of the creature.

Completed the sculpt to the other side and I'm happy with how it all balanced out. Took a couple of adjustments which meant sanding down a cured area and sculpting over but that's the name of the game when working with epoxy. Glad that's over with! :)

When the back is done, I plan to begin working on the front of the Jockey, where the eventual "cannon" will connect. I will take a break however and work on other projects that need attention (including some alien work).

I hope you all enjoy the updated images and for all you Alien fans out there, I hope you had a GREAT ALIEN DAY!

Sculpt progress on the Newborn - Alien: Resurrection. 1:18 scale, work in progress. Sculpted using Aves FIXIT Sculpt by Aves Studio LLC.

Finished detailing the jaw, which is a separate piece as you may be able to see in the new images. Sculpting the neck of the beast as well. At this point I am going to make whatever final revisions needed and go forward with making a mold of the head and the jaw. After a couple casts are made, I can make variants featuring the creatures different expressions, mouth open and a sculpt of the tongue.

At this point the neck will not have any articulation. If I can figure out a way to create a ball socket which the head and neck can rotate on possibly?...The only way I could see it working without jeopardizing the sculpt would be if a rubber sheath was cast for the neck and wrapped around a set of articulated joints. It's still early on so not worried about it. The solution will come.

More progress on the way with several projects #alien #newborn #sculpture #alienresurrection #miniature #sculpture #customactionfigure #nostromo #sulaco #betty #covenant #prometheus #ripley8

A few days later and I have all the casts of the carapace needed to tool the head articulation and begin the next phrase which with be sculpting the neck leading down to the chest. The casts you see here are direct pulls without any cleaning - I hope to present better images here soon. After the next phase gets to its way I’m going to get back into some shipbuilding. I have a landing leg and sleep chamber that needs major attention and I don’t want to get burned out on a single project. Sorry for the crappy pictures...better ones coming soon! #aliens #alienqueen #plasticcastings #customactionfigures

Jedi Master Luke Skywalker INVASION38 by sith_fire30

Completed Jedi Master Luke Skywalker as seen in issue #3 of Star Wars Invasion by Dark Horse Comics. Luke is in command of Republic forces sent to the planet Rychel in order to repel the invading forces of the Yuuzhan Vong.

The figure was mostly sculpted in Aves Epoxy FIXIT sculpt using a plastic articulated armature. The forearms and hands have been recasted from original parts. The head originalted from a Legacy Snowspeeder Luke figure, casted in wax and completly retooled and refined adding additional markings to the face, age lines, a lower brow, hair and ears...I also strengthened the jaw. The figure measures 3.75" in height. Painted using Floyquil Acrylics by testors.

EGGMORPH35 by sith_fire30

Sculpt progress on the Praetorian (Egg Layer) Xenomorph - 1:18 scale - Alien: Defiance. Work in progress using Aves FIXIT sculpt from Aves Studio LLC.

YES! Back to some sculpting at last! Sorry for the delay guys/gals - life put things on hold for a bit. Hurricane Irma was a beast - and my prayers and well wishes for those whose been affected by the recent storms: Harvey, Irma and now Maria...Mother Nature tends to remind us of whose in charge from time to time. Which there was a gentler way.

Continued sculpting the upper torso on the Praetorian which shares the same body as the 79 Giger alien but at a larger scale. I'll share a scale shot later to let you see the difference. The sculpt you see is quite clean...but not for long. It's an exoskeleton of a creature designed to protect the queen as well as it's hive - the body needs be roughed up a bit. Not much as I have enjoyed the details of the sculpt and don't want to loose it. Just some scratches, breaks and pop marks...nothing too heavy. Working on the piping for the back with the lower abdomen and upper arms next on the table.

Sculpt Update (IMAGES) on my 1:18 scaled Space Jockey - ALIENS 1979. Sculpted using Aves FIXIT Sculpt.

I've posted a video as well so please check that out. youtu.be/LL6moVvkzkI

I "dremeled" out a chasm to insert a separate sculpted piece of tubing that will be sculpted over to become a permanent fixture. I also carved out a portal to insert the "guard" that goes down the back of the chair, parallel to the interior tubing. Some adjustments need to be made and additional sculpting needs to be added but I'm very pleased with how it all fits.

One step closer to finishing the back of the chair!

Hope you enjoy the photos! Thanks again for all the comments and support! More updates coming!

Fix you by Shaun_Sheep

3 15

It wasn’t easy but Pip and I managed to bring my plane back home. It was in a very poor condition, but we were determined to repair it.

So we got together the most important tools one needs to fix something, two hammers, and got to work.

Of course we needed some plane repairing music, so I got out a my Uncle’s “Plane Fix Mix Tape”. The first title (“Fix you” by Coldplay) sounded promising enough, but it was sung in such a high pitched voice that poor Pip immediately held his ears and started to howl in agony.

I quickly threw a hammer towards the radio and it skipped to the next song, the theme from A-Team.

That was more like it and we were done in no time :-)

On year ago on this day, I was soaring into the sky:

Sculpt progress on the Newborn - Alien: Resurrection - 1:18 scale. Sculpt using Aves FIXIT Sculpt by Aves Studio LLC

Began sculpting detail to the upper torso as well as building the shape to the lower half. The main articulation point in therein body will be a ball joint just below the ribcage separating the upper/lower torso. Finer details have not been added yet - I work in stages when sculpting with epoxy since it usually only has a 4 hour cure time.

Hope you enjoy the new work in progress pics. More project updates coming soon. #alien #alienresurrection #newborn #miniature #customactionfigure #avesfixitsculpt #sculpture #ripley8 #studioadi studioADI
