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 Praetorian Alien (Egg Morpher) from the Dark Horse comic series Aliens: Defiance. 1:18 scale.
Completed the sculpt work on the upper and lower arms. I am using Aves FIXIT sculpt as my sculpt material, a two-part epoxy.
The arms are elongated per the design and description by the original artist. Other than the head, the body of the Praetorian borrows much of the original Giger design of the beast for the 79 film, but with minior changes to the arms and legs. The next step in the build will be the hands and upper legs.
I'm right in the middle of this and two other projects I'm trying to get some progress on including the Alien Newborn (Resurrection) and the Alien Queen (Aliens). I may though begin a couple xeno sculpts that are concept driven...artists concepts never brought to film or publication. I have a couple ideas so far. Hope to have something to show soon.

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
This is what I'll be sitting behind during Brickfair public hours. :P
This is the Juggernaut. You know, the big ship from the movies Alien and Prometheus. Since this thing took up four big bley baseplates, please excuse the poor photo setup.

Looks kind like a bust doesn't it...not a bad idea. Still, it's only the buildup of the upper torso. I will be sculpting detail once a needled it down a bit more. Then will come the lower abdomen, arms. legs etc.
The upper torso and head will be one piece. Just don't have the tech available to create an articulated neck that works with this sculpt. If anything it would have been a rubber sheath that would drape over and articulated frame.
Different expressions are also in the works. Sculpting tails for the other xenos at this time and a tongue for this beast.

Sculpt update on various projects...
- 1:18 scale Newborn from Alien: Resurrection
- 1:18 scale Egg Layer Xenomorph from Aliens: Defiance
- 1:18 scale "The Beast" from ALIEN (79)
and a couple more images from the 1:18 scale Sleep Chamber (NOSTROMO) project.
For the Newborn and the Egg Layer Xenomorph, it's all about hands. I've created the frames for the hands I will be sculpting this week. For the Egg Layer Xeno, I want to sculpt a "neutral" hand which is nothing more than an enlarged version of the original ALIEN 79 hand so that will be fun.
For the ALIEN 79 "Beast"...I am happy with what I have done with the figure but I see where improvements can be made. The head sculpt has never been 100% for me...and I think with a little tweaking I can get it there. I'm also thickening the lower abdomen sculpt as its proportion to the upper rib cage is a tad overblown. I'll post a separate update to explain all that later.
Finally, I wanted to shoot a couple more images of Parker from the Sleep Chamber build just to get a couple more shots of that hand before I sculpt over it with another one. LOL!..and I shot another image of Ripley because it was just there. LOL! This was the shot Ridley wanted but the production company thought nudity (although logical in this circumstance) would limit the number of people that would see the film so he chose the alternative (the ridiculous bands across the chest) that didn't see the light of day anyway! LOL!
OK! See? I'm still kickin' out updates! LOL! I hope you all are safe and doing as well as you can with the current state of things. Hope my little updates can break up some of the monotony out there.
Thanks for looking! More to come!

Sculpt update on the Queen. ALIENS (86) - 1:18 scale. Work in progress.
Began sculpting the teeth. More precise, the maxillary teeth (upper jaw). First I built the upper maxilla that will fit separately in the head, marking each point where the teeth will be inserted. What I love about FIXIT is that during it's final hour of curing, you can carefully shape pieces to fit other parts of the sculpt without it permanently attaching or curing to that particular part. Example, the maxilla which I shaped to fit the roof of the mouth. This will help in molding and replication later.
Next was to sculpt each tooth, two at a time, one on either side. Once fully cured, I carve the teeth into shape using dental tools, giving them the appearance of settling into the gum line of the maxilla. So this process of sculpting, curing, carving took a good week to complete.
While that was going on I sculpting more detail to the head, This version will feature the lips fully extended, mouth fully drawn taut. I intend to do another version of the head having the mouth partially closed and relaxed.
Still refining the teeth. I need to fill in some spots and reduce others. Then I will add gum tissue around each tooth. This piece will later be cast in clear resin so I may have the teeth appear to be translucent.
More to come!! Will begin working on the lower jaw soon then back to other projects that deserve some attention.

THRILLING isn't the word to describe what I'm feeling right now after receiving these pictures from Jean-Pierre Jeunet this morning of my Newborn (Alien: Resurrection) head sculpt on display along with various other miniatures made by fellow artists, Kazuhito Kimura, Dominique Roche and the director himself, Jean-Pierre Jeunet!
So happy and thankful once again for the opportunity to contribute to a beautiful display full of brilliant work. I'm honored to be part of it!
If you're visiting Lyon, France before May 19, 2019, be sure to take some time to check out the Caro/Jeunet exhibit at the Musée Miniature et Cinéma and say hello to my little guy. He may be a little homesick but he's in good company

Sculpt progress on the Newborn. Alien: Resurrection - 1:18 scale.
With the sculpt of the ALIENS(86) Queen in progress, I thought it would be fun to match her up with her future offspring thanks to Ripley 8 (going to have to be a fan to know what I'm talking about) and get a look at the scale. Once the lower jaw of the Queen is complete I will get a better idea but so far I think both scale pretty well with one another and enhances my hopes to one day have a Resurrection diorama featuring the "Birth of the Newborn". Till then, both stands on their own and both have a ton of work to have down before that road is crossed.
This update focuses in on the Newborn and it's open mouth variant I'm working on. My previous update featured the jaw wired into place. This week I'm sculpting in the gaps and detailing the optional tongue that will be held by a magnet.
From some of the early production images, the tongue appeared to have "buds" over its surface...possibly glads for smell and taste. A trait from Ripley's side of the family for sure. So I'm taking a blank tongue I formed using Aves FIXIT sculpt and detailing it with small portions of additional FIXIT forming the buds. The entire surface isn't covered in these glads so I need to pay attention as to not overdo the surface with these things LOL!
I know the Newborn doesn't get a ton of love from the Alien community but I must admit, it's been one of my more enjoyable projects over the past year or so...and I think it's because of the fusion between the human and the xenomorph. You get to work with a little of both when sculpting this guy....at least I don't have to sculpt a TAIL! LOL! That Queen though...the tail will be a major project in itself.
Hope you enjoyed the update. Any questions, let me know. Everything you see has been hand sculpted using Aves FIXIT Sculpt - a two-part epoxy that can be found here

Some of the weirdness in Alien Resurrection that was never properly addressed is the weird state of its aliens - cloned from human and Xenomorph DNA, they are just a little fleshier than one would expect. They don't seem much different otherwise, though, and even the brown oloration was a slight embellishment on Todd McFarlane's part.

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 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!

Sculpt update on the Queen. ALIENS (86) - 1:18 scale. Work in progress.
Began sculpting the teeth. More precise, the maxillary teeth (upper jaw). First I built the upper maxilla that will fit separately in the head, marking each point where the teeth will be inserted. What I love about FIXIT is that during it's final hour of curing, you can carefully shape pieces to fit other parts of the sculpt without it permanently attaching or curing to that particular part. Example, the maxilla which I shaped to fit the roof of the mouth. This will help in molding and replication later.
Next was to sculpt each tooth, two at a time, one on either side. Once fully cured, I carve the teeth into shape using dental tools, giving them the appearance of settling into the gum line of the maxilla. So this process of sculpting, curing, carving took a good week to complete.
While that was going on I sculpting more detail to the head, This version will feature the lips fully extended, mouth fully drawn taut. I intend to do another version of the head having the mouth partially closed and relaxed.
Still refining the teeth. I need to fill in some spots and reduce others. Then I will add gum tissue around each tooth. This piece will later be cast in clear resin so I may have the teeth appear to be translucent.
More to come!! Will begin working on the lower jaw soon then back to other projects that deserve some attention.

For the ALIEN 79 "Beast"...I am happy with what I have done with the figure but I see where improvements can be made. The head sculpt has never been 100% for me...and I think with a little tweaking I can get it there. I'm also thickening the lower abdomen sculpt as its proportion to the upper rib cage is a tad overblown. I'll post a separate update to explain all that later.
Finally, I wanted to shoot a couple more images of Parker from the Sleep Chamber build just to get a couple more shots of that hand before I sculpt over it with another one. LOL!..and I shot another image of Ripley because it was just there. LOL! This was the shot Ridley wanted but the production company thought nudity (although logical in this circumstance) would limit the number of people that would see the film so he chose the alternative (the ridiculous bands across the chest) that didn't see the light of day anyway! LOL!
OK! See? I'm still kickin' out updates! LOL! I hope you all are safe and doing as well as you can with the current state of things. Hope my little updates can break up some of the monotony out there.
Thanks for looking! More to come!
