8.19 - Build update on the Narcissus Shuttle Interior - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale.
Progress on sculpting the duct work detail to the left, forward wall of the shuttle. Tons of duct work flowing in and around an operations unit possibly used for engine or life support purposes. Whatever it is, it needs a ton of duct work! LOL!
Funny , but while watching Alien: Romulus the other day I found myself counting the amount of duct work the used for each set…which was quite a bit LOL!
Rolling out Aves FIXIT Sculpt and sculpting each length of tube as the epoxy approaches full cure so the tackiness no longer is an issue. Shaped the tubes to fit the contours of the ship structure, detailed the tubing a bit more to show wear and tear and moved on to the next length of tube.
I have to build out more of the forward wall to continue with the duct work that will eventually complete this panel and allows me to begin working on the cockpit of the shuttle.
More updates on the way!

11.6 Sculpt update on the droid AL1-L3 "Allie" - Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - 1:18 scale.
Sculpt using Aves FIXIT Sculpt. A two-part epoxy.
Sculpting the limbs. Began some sculpt detail on the hands.
The base hands are from a store bought figure and are quite rubbery. This will allow me to sculpt over them using a bit of epoxy and super glue to achieve a flexibility that will adhere to the original sculpt. Meaning when I place a gun in the figures hand, the sculpt work will not pop off. It’s a tricky process but it works.
Working on completing the sculpt detail to the back of the figure’s upper torso. The back torso plating is non-removable.
I widened the center port of the eyes a bit. May go back and do a few more adjustments before creating a final cast of the rework.
Next is sculpting the feet…and the arm and leg plating.
Also more detail to the helmet cover. I have some antennae and additional wiring to add.
More to come! Thanks for checking this update out!

12/21 Sculpt update on the droid AL1-L3 "Allie" - Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - 1:18 scale.
Sculpt using Aves FIXIT Sculpt. A two-part epoxy.
Happy Holidays!!!
Details, details, details….working on details!
So the figure frame is completely sculpted over now with the bodysuit detail. Just using different textures to create an assortment of wires, technics etc. There’s nothing that needs to be precise at this scale. Most of body suit detail is a suggestion and most of it will be painted various shades of black.
I’ve started sculpting the hand plating detail as well as the knee plating in such a way to keep the knees articulated without “popping” the sculpt.
Added wiring detail to the interior of the droids dome (helmet). Finer wires will be added later.
Sculpted the eyes for a final time. Happy with how it turned out.
Added more detail to the chest plating. Began sculpting the foot plating.
Arms and leg plating to come soon. I don’t think I will have the plating removable as a feature. I’m also figuring weapons and soft goods tunic.
So some good progress made on this figure! I think the next update will have all the arm and leg plating complete, with a few additional details needed before the build is complete.
Thanks for checking it out! I appreciate your continued interest in my work!

Now, the stem SHOULD just twist out as if you were turning on the faucet--maybe you can get a grip on it with your fingers and do it, maybe with pliers. Once it's past the threaded bit it should just slide right out.
I couldn't get it to budge, so I ended up threading a screw into the center of the stem to give me something more to pull on. In this case, I think the packing was so crushed down after 30+ years of compression that it wanted to remain tight against the threaded pipe.
