"Some assembly required" - Build update on the second alt posed version of "The Beast" - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Okay, more like A LOT of assembly is required HA! I began assembling the semi-articulated version of the "squatting" alien yesterday. Hollowed out the upper and lower halves of the torso so the pieces, when merged, will bend with the use of a heat gun. Did the same for the upper/lower legs and ankles.
It's tricky - too hot, the resin crumbles. Not enough heat, the resin cracks under the stress. Just right, the resin folds like cloth...for just a few seconds! HA! Gotta be quick.
I was worried about the balance of the figure in this squatting position - so far, so good. It's able to stand on it's own.
Added ball joints to the shoulders and will articulate the elbows and wrists tonight. The neck contains a ball joint as well and the head has a wide range of movement.
So, progress has been made smile emoticon This series of three may be "fixed" posed pieces for the most part but I think they'll look very good when complete. More to come! #alien #aliens #bigchap #actionfigure #custom #art #resin #smoothon #nostromo
Paint progress on "The Beast" - ALIEN 79 -1:18 scale. Closed mouth "lipped" version - Group shots containing the transparent dome. I painted the dome as it would be a living part of the organism, not just a cool see through cover...looking organic, not just transparent. It's living material so you'd think it would have veining, textures, and various waves of color throughout the fleshy dome. Used swirls of clear gloss mixed with earth toned colors inside the dome to give some dimension to the vacuum formed piece. Pretty cool effects when the light moves through it. The rest of the head sculpt used an oily black as a base and additional earth tones and grays- this will play through the rest of the body and the rest of the head sculpts. #alien #bigchap #nostromo #alien79 #painting #giger

The long tail of the beast - Alien: Isolation - :18 scale. Assembling and sculpting the alien from the Creative Assembly game. The tail is twice as long as the 79 beastie - just took the original tail and doubled the length. Currently it is hard plastic...hope to make a bendy tail from it soon. Ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, torso, hips, knees etc.....similar to the 79 Alien I'm finishing up. Sculpting the new lower legs that are similar to the runner (dog) alien in Alien3 so it's a good introduction to what awaits me when I continue to build that particular beast. As always, I take more image than is needed - just love working with this fellow lol! #alien #alienisolation #creativeassembly #bigchap #giger #xenomorph #sith_fire30 #nostromo

As part of their promo for the new ALIENS COLONIAL MARINES game, there was a full sized Power Loader with Attacking Xenomorph. You could take a photo inside the loader, and have your picture taken!
Worth getting a chestburster implanted.

Paint progress on "The Beast" - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale.Close mouthed "lipped" version - Dome removed. Old bone when dry, is mostly white...living bone has a more aged white, richness to it. So the skull is more off white this time around with darker hues surrounding it. Still have some detailing to add. #alien #nodome #bigchap #painting #nostromo #giger

This is why I like using the Lensbaby 2.0... it brings a bit more drama to an otherwise ordinary shot.
Kept all the noise and rendered with a bit of tint to try to capture the cinematic mood of Ridley Scott's Alien.
Sculpt update on "the Beast" - Alien 79 rework of the creatures head sculpt.
Working on some updates to the skull, the maxilla's depth, the teeth and a new lower jaw. The teeth are all being sculpted similar to the fashion of the larger egg layer xenomorph I've posted updates to recently. The size of this piece is considerably smaller than the egg layer so rather than the teeth being sculpted separately, the entire set is a single piece. I have more work to do with the lower jaw, it's teeth along with details to the "lips" if you can call them that . I'm making molds of each of these small pieces as I go along. Very fragile and I don't want to have to sculpt these pieces over again if I can help it. I'm using Aves FIXIT sculpt so it has strength but even at this scale, it can break easily.
More to come - gotta take one project at a time as I slowly get back into a routine that's been off course now for almost a year. It's not been easy to do. Just need to get along with it.
Thanks for looking!

Shooting Mcfarlane's Xenomorph with my Nikon D7100, Lensbaby 2.0 on PK-13 extension tube and a Aputure Halo ring flash.
A bit obvious that I was in need of a diffuser for my ring flash but I was happy that my setup was enough to set the dark mood.
