Nostromo Main Air Lock - 1:18 scale UPDATE. ALIEN (1979). Spent some time creating the interior wall racking using butyrate tubing. Took some time to get the hang of it and I may still want to go back and redo a couple because of irregularities but all in all they turned out pretty nice for it being my first time using the tube material. Next up for this project will be the finer detail to the interior walls as well as the ceiling build. I've attached some updated images of my progress. #alien #nostromo #airlock
Build update on the MU/TH/UR 6000 chamber - 1:18 scale - ALIEN 79. Been delayed with personal business but I'm back at it and getting close to finishing the small detailing of the wall panels. Each individual square it cut, placed then layered again with a smaller square. One at a time....and I'm almost done. YAY! #alien #MUTHUR6000 #diorama #custom #styrene #modelbuilding #scratchbuilding #nostromo #weylandyutani #aliencovenant
Sculpt update on the NEWBORN - Alien: Resurrection - 1:18 scale. Sculpt using Aves FIXIT Sculpt by Aves Studio LLC
Sculpted hips and began working the upper arms.
Realized I need to thin out the lower back a bit and complete some detail just behind the shoulders before I can replicate (mold/cast) and head on to the next stage. Loving the elongated arms of this beast....
At this point with the project, I have pretty much caught up to the point where I left off with the Covenant Xenomorph, Neomorph and Defiance Praetorian - arms and legs. So expect a variety of updates, not JUST the Newborn from this point forward.
More updates to come! Perhaps some Star Wars updates soon? Bringing some back to the workbench. #alien #alienresurrection #newborn #ripley8 #studioadi #sculpture #avesfixit #avesstudio studioADI
Sculpt update on the Alien Queen - ALIENS - 1:18 scale.
Sculpted using Aves FIXIT Sculpt from Aves Studio.
I'm close to completing the mouth of the Alien Queen - finished sculpting the lower gum line around the teeth of the lower jaw. Also started to flesh out the lower jaw a bit but have much more detailing to add before it's considered complete.
Both the top and lower set of teeth have been sculpted separate and will be cast eventually using a semi-clear resin..or crystal clear, and painted afterward.
This coming week I want to complete the teeth and lower jaw and set up the components to the head for molding and casting. From there we go to the neck as well as the Queen's inner jaw.
More to come! Thanks for taking a look! #alien #aliens #alienqueen #egglayer #yourhighness #xenomorph #customactionfigure #art #sculpture #giger studioADI #studioadi
Sculpt progress to the Alien Queen - ALIENS - 1:18 scale.
Completed the carapace (crown) of the Queen...next step iis the head. Three versions of the head sculpt come to mind ...
1. Docile, as she appeared when Ripley first discovered her, having the head tucked up into the carapace.
2. Teeth shown, mouth closed.
3. Mouth opened.
Think that should cover it :).
Am still considering a hinged jaw variant if I can make it work. We'll see. Hope you enjoy the new images!!!
Also need to begin thinking about how the heck I'm gonna cast this thing!!!

The Egg Morpher (Xeno) - ALIEN: Defiance (Dark Horse Comics) - 1:18 scale....Pulled from the pages of the Dark Horse Comics series Alien: Defiance and inspired by the artwork of artist Tristan Jones.
Sculpt update - Began working on the build late last week but haven't had time to post updates so what you will see here is a series of images taken along the course of several days (more like very late nights). The material I am using is Aves FIXIT Sculpt by Aves Studio LLC.
I always begin with sculpting the head first. This creature is larger that the standard xeno warrior so the figure will be featuring a completely new sculpt, no recast parts from others I've made. The body will be similar to the big chap (alien 79), but slightly larger, with longer limbs and fingers. I'm staying true to the artists concepts and panel depictions of the beast within the comic....to the best of my ability. This isn't my first rodeo when it comes to sculpting comic based characters (Star Wars anyone?).
The skull will be a hard shell, similar to the warrior drone. Very similar to the spitter alien (Colonial Marines) so I'm using a reduce frame of an existing spitter head cast. The head sculpt will feature both an open and closed mouth. Waiting to find out if the beast features a traditional inner jaw or an expanding protrusion similar to the Deacon from prometheus. About a half inch longer than the warrior drone head.
Much more to come - may revisit the sculpt on those teeth and make them a tad smaller....and more of them. More to come! #alien #aliens #defiance #darkhorsecomics #aliendefiance #eggmorpher #xenomorph #sculpture #avesfixitsculpt #avesstudio #miniature
Sculpt progress on the Neomorph - 1:18 scale - Alien: Covenant. Completed the initial head sculpt of the beast - open mouth, attack. The next step will be to mold and cast successfully. At that point, I can take a couple quality casts and mod the sculpt to create the other two variants. Began work on the upper torso of the Neomorph - update coming soon.Sculpted using Aves FIXIT Sculpt from Aves Studio LLC.
This sculpt inspired by the concept/production art by Colin Shulver - www.artstation.com/artwork/bxJYo

The first of two semi-static posed figures of the creature from the 1979 film, Alien. Hand sculpted, hand painted. This version depicts the beast as it would have appeared in several promotional test shots during pre-production, the air duct scene where Captain Dallas met his end as well as a deleted scene appearing within the corridor while Parker and Lambert were making their desperate escape.
Figure is approx. 3" high from highest point on head to the feet. Articulated neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists. Vacuum formed PETG dome is removable.
Original was sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt, a two part epoxy. Parts were cast in resin and assembled to build this version. Used Model Masters Polly Scale and Tamiya acrylics.

Sculpt progress on the Newborn - Alien: Resurrection - 1:18 scale. Sculpt made entirely from Aves FIXIT Sculpt by Aves Studio LLC
I said "entirely" because it's the first figure I have created so far in which I haven't used a frame of any kind to sculpt upon. Total FIXIT with a little weight to it - makes it feel expensive LOL! I need to do a scale shot to show how it scales to my 3.75" figures in the series.
Working on completing the lower abdomen of the creature, which will connect via a ball socket to the upper torso...that comes later in the casting phase. Right now, all the parts will be connected via wire or wax clay. Haven't completed the back section of the lower abdomen yet.
Next step after finishing the lower abdomen will be the upper arms and the hips. I plan on tooling the arms with traditional shoulder joints with the hips being connected via ball sockets. This can all change as the sculpt progresses.
Hope you all enjoy the update. More to come! #newborn #alienresurrection #miniature #customactionfigure #alien #adi #studioadi

Sculpt progress on the Chestburster - Kane - Alien 1:18 (79) scale. Created a cup to sculpt down into and build up to create the exposed cavity and the distressed garment Kane is wearing at the moment of his demise. This entire section is removable. The tail of the burster has been sculpted - the remaining baby burster will be sculpted separately to fit in the cavity you see here. I have in mind to do a version that can move and push up and through the chest using a tab going through the figure and the table along with magnets. This will be a heck of a project to paint when complete. #alien #chestburster #kane
Sculpt update on the Praetorian Xenomorph (egg layer) - Aliens: Defiance - 1:18 scale.
Busy refining the upper torso while beginning the sculpt of the lower abdomen and piping to the back of the torso. Using Aves FIXIT sculpt from Aves Studio LLC.
I have included a scale shot comparing the size of the Praetorian body with my original beast from ALIEN 79. Both at 1:18 scale.They both share the same body structure (with some differences to the limbs). Upper torso and abdomen will eventually be connected via a ball socket. More to come! #alien #aliens #xenomorph #egglayer #sculpture #miniature #avesfixitsculpt

Sculpt progress on the Alien Newborn - Alien: Resurrection - 1:18 scale. Sculpt using Aves FIXIT sculpt from Aves Studio.
This week I worked on the body of the creature, namely the arms (upper and lower) as well as the hips and upper legs.
Plenty of adjustments to be made to the muscular folds and definition through the hips/pelvis. Happy with the proportion of the elongated arms vs. the length of the torso.
Going to work on the hips some more but begin working on the hands and add more definition to the lower arms.
Thanks for taking time to check out my progress! #alien #alienresurrection #newbornalien #sculpting #art #monsters #customactionfigure #miniature #nostromo
Sculpt update on H.R. Giger's Space Jockey - 1:18 scale, ALIEN (1979).
Sculpt using Aves FIXIT Sculpt - a two-part epoxy. Find out more about this material at Aves Clay
In my last update, I spoke of how I needed to strip away a portion of my sculpt to make more room in the back of the Space Jockey for additional detail. I think my last video update showed the area I "dremeled" away.
For this update, I have successfully sculpted the portions that were previously removed, adding more detail than before and this time bringing the sculpt further out, making room for the new detail that has also begun to take residence in the back of the sculpture. Two tubes have been added as well as a build-out between the two where the next set up tubes will go. This offset is accurate to the production photos I have studied from the set.
Next step is to sculpt the backpack behind the head, neck and shoulders. An enormous amount of biomechanical detail in this area alone so it should be fun! Just waiting on my latest FIXIT order from Aves Studio which should be here sometime this week.
Sorry for the absence of updates over the past month. Life turned the volume up a bit and I had to step away from the workbench to turn it back down. Nothing serious, which I'm thankful for. Speaking of being thankful, I hope all my American friends had a great Thanksgiving!
Thanks for all the continued interest! Hoping you all are staying safe and healthy. More updates to come! ❤

Received my first ALIEN ReAction vinyl collectors case from Super7 today - I have another one coming soon...and for a good reason, they are perfect for storing my sculpted alien figurines in! I have some foam that I will trim to hold the figures in place - better than on a shelf or an old box. Some may not find these appealing bit for my use they are perfect! #super7 #ReAction #vinyl #alien
Quick Sunday update on the MU/TH/UR 6000 Chamber - completed the sculpt to the overhead section of the entrance way using Aves FIXIT. It's a solid block...was thinking of building a styrene frame to sculpt over but I had some older FIXIT I had to use up so what the heck...it worked out just fine. Still have padding to complete - hope to get an hour or so to complete that tonight. Threw the chair (still a work in progress) in there for the second shot. More to come! #alien #nostromo #MUTHUR6000 #weylandyutani #scratchbuild #model #diorama #avesstudio #FIXIT #sculpting
Here's a handmade loom, stylized by and for the weaver whose estate we
have it from (thanks be, Frances; thank you Richard!) - it's set up as
a four-harness loom, with frames to eventually be able to add in four
more harnesses. What it needs is a beam to hold the beater-bar, that I
haven't made yet.
There are pegs along the near vertical cornerpost for changing shed;
one per harness.
A friend is getting into weaving, and her early success is inspiring me
to get going on getting this loom up and running.
What I've got that it needs:
- wood to make the beater-bar frame with
- an 8- or 10- dent reed (eyeballed but not measured)
wishlist:
- time to fiddle with it
- a pack of 100 rigid heddles; there are folks in North Carolina who
supply parts to every known loom to mankind; a pack of 100 or 200 of
those lovely TexSolv heddles would probably do Just Fine as well.
- bar stock to make the head and toe slider rails for the rigid heddles
in the four empty frames, probably findable locally at OSH.
Ready for the influx of students with the latest in on-campus bike-rider helps. What a great idea.
Something similar seen and photographed on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. Must be the coming thing, and a good idea, too.
The green thing is a collection of bicycle fix-it tools, held in place with cables, so they don't walk off. The sign tells riders, "Fix-it station, here!"
Lace and patch work for "Facehugger Attack" Kane - Alien 79 - 1:18 scale. A static posed figure of Kane as he has succumbed to the facehugger parasite. Still have some laces to sculpt. The head sculpt will be interchangeable to feature the facehugger version as well as a Kane sculpt. Working on the scratch build of the autodoc bed he lies on in the film....#alien #nostromo #kane #facehugger #autodoc
Going to spend some much needed sculpting time with the Space Jockey over the next couple weeks. I really want to begin building out the sides and back of the seat. First I have to finish the hands (what's with all the hand projects lately). So expect some more updates on this guy soon

Meant to get some completed sculpts of Jonesy the cat complete over the weekend. Unfortunately I only had time to build two frames for the little guy...one standing and one sitting. Crude but these will make great little frames to sculpt over Need to add a wire for the tail to the standing frame...more to come! #alien #nostromo #jones #jonesythecat
Sculpt update on the Egg Morpher or Praetorian Xenomorph - 1:18 scale - Aliens: Defiance, Dark Horse Comics. Completed phase 1 of the head sculpt, next step will be making a mold, then sculpting the variations of the mouth...that's if the mold and castings come out! :) Began building the upper torso of the figure (update coming soon). Used AVes FIXIT to create the sculpt. More to come! #avesfixit #avesstudio #alien #aliens #xenomorph #Praetorian #sculpture #miniature #darkhorsecomics #defiance
Sculpt progress on the Space Jockey - 1:18 scale - ALIEN. I think,...well, I'm sure I'm close to having the head finished....Finally LOL! I keep going back to make adjustments but it's gotta be right or everything else will just look wrong. I have a little more adjustments and age to add onto the piece before moving to the body. The area around the neck and shoulders will be difficult as I don't have many images to go by showing detail..I plan on sculpting the body this week, along with starting some other sculpt projects. Don't want to burn out on this guy too quickly. Sculpt material is Aves FIXIT. Included another scale shot sporting the Nostromo explorers as well as my little custom cameo smile emoticon #alien #nostromo #spacejockey #derelict #hrgiger #giger #biomechanical #sculpture #avesfixitsculpt
Usually the first attempt at a new alien dome would require at least one adjustment so that the dome "snaps" into place....This time though, success straight from the gate!!! This dome snaps perfectly onto the alien head and hugs the contours just underneath.
Images you see here are of both the master sculpt and initial cast with domes attached. I increase the tones in the images so you can see the shell of the clear dome.
More images to come as I continue with the inner jaw and tendons - am thrilled this step in the vac forming was the only step needed. :) #alien #aliencovenant #protomorph #xenomorph #vacuumforming #PETG #dome #sculpting #success
Kane - Chestburster 1:18 scaled figure complete - ALIEN 79.
Figure comes with two different head sculpts, two sets of forearm/hands (magnetically attached), three switch out chest panels and the little beast itself (held magnetically).
Ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows. knees and ankles. Hinge hips. Swivel in forearms, upper torso and waist.
Complete sculpt using Aves FIXIT , parts mold/cast using Reynolds Smooth-On products and painted using Testors POLLY Scale acrylics as well as Citadel paints.
Figure stands approx. 3.875" tall.
The first completed crew member of the ALIEN Nostromo series, this action figure of Kane (actor John Hurt) recreates the iconic and horrifying moment when it was realized..."in space, no one can hear you scream".
More to come!
Honda intake manifold -- 1997 2.2 liter EFI with VTEC - 195K miles, first cleaning.
Check engine light was always on (DTC #12, CEL MIL lamp code) because carbon had blocked the EGR port orifices. After vacuum cleaning, it's all back to normal, and passed SMOG check !
Build progress on the Autodoc Medical station - Nostromo - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Completed the frame that supports the revolving bed - Two cylinders, one inside the other, made from sheet styrene. The bed mounts to the inner cylinder which glides across a fitted groove cut out from the outer cylinder. This will allow the bed to slide into the "MRI" chamber. When the bed is set out, a clear rod can be attached underneath to offer a touch more stability for display purposes. Next step is to build out the tower and finished detail to the bed. Ash and Kane are 1:18 scaled sculpts in progress. #alien #nostromo #autodoc #aliencovenant #ashisarobot #kane #diorama
Sculpt progress on The Space Jockey - 1:18 scale - ALIEN 79. Began sculpting the torso of the creature. Using Aves FIXIT Sculpt. Additional weathering will be added with a dremel tool once the torso is complete. Hope to have the sculpt of the torso complete by the end of the week, and the back of the Jockey completed by the end of next week. #alien #nostromo #spacejockey #giger #derelict #avesstudio #sculpture #diorama
The sleeping giant - Engineer in Sleep Chamber - Prometheus 1:18 scale. - So I took the cast of the Engineer I created earlier last week, and shaped it using a hot gun to give the body the appearance it was at rest. The head sculpt of the masked giant is complete and has been cast and attached to the body. Next step are the tubes leading from the chamber to the Engineer as well as the tubes leading from the exterior rear of the chamber. The tubes for the Engineer will be borrowed while the exterior tubes will be sculpted and cast in rubber. #Prometheus #sleepchamber #engineer
Sculpting week off to a great start! Lambert in flight vest - 1:18 scale, ALIEN 79. For the exception of the belt and some minor details, this sculpt is complete. Sculpted the vest last night using Aves FIXIT sculpt. Variants include Lamber in Nostromo T and Lambert in Nostromo Jacket (as seen near the end of the film). Working on some minor touch-ups to the beast tonight as well as Dallas and Kane upper box sculpts. #alien #lambert #nostromocrew #sith_fire30 #avesfixit
Build update on the AutoDoc medical station - Nostromo - ALIEN 79. Working on the overhead section of the med tower - Figuring the light portal locations along with the small compartments tucked just underneath. I scrapped the initial overhead as it was too wide - it should be roughly the same width as the medical bed (perhaps a little wider). Hope to get the overhead done this week, see Covenant and begin new sculpts next week. :) ...so much more to come
OH and good news to those that may care, I've decided to get the tool box detail laser cut instead of using decals!!! .#alien #aliencovenant #nostromo #autodoc #diorama #scratchbuild #modelmaking
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!

Ta royale jeunesse a la mélancolie

*****************************************************
Ta royale jeunesse a la mélancolie
Du Nord où le brouillard efface les couleurs,
Tu mêles la discorde et le désir aux pleurs,
Grave comme Hamlet, pâle comme Ophélie.
Tu passes, dans l'éclair d'une belle folie,
Comme elle, prodiguant les chansons et les fleurs,
Comme lui, sous l'orgueil dérobant tes douleurs,
Sans que la fixité de ton regard oublie.
Souris, amante blonde, ou rêve, sombre amant,
Ton être double attire, ainsi qu'un double aimant,
Et ta chair brûle avec l'ardeur froide d'un cierge.
Mon coeur déconcerté se trouble quand je vois
Ton front pensif de prince et tes yeux bleus de vierge,
Tantôt l'Un, tantôt l'Autre, et les Deux à la fois.
