LtoR: Kane, Lambert, Dallas, & Ripley. Finally able to collect all 4 of them...It took 8 months to track all 5 (incl. the Alien) down!
Lambert being the hardest to find. I think she was a special mail order and more limited than Kane & Dallas. I believe only 100 toys where made of Kane, Dallas, & the Alien. Not sure about Ripley's white eva suit.
Aliens Sulaco Sleep Chamber - scratch build - 1:18 scale work in progress. Made using sheet styrene, I will approach this piece similar to what I did with the Nostromo Sleep Chamber (also a work in progress). The canopy will be sculpted and cast in parts for vacuum forming. I will sculpt the bedding using Aves FIXIT (waiting on my new order). Then mold and cast the body of the chamber once all the details have been added. Chamber will open and close. #aliens #sleepchamber #sulaco #colonialmarines #alien #sith_fire30
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
A quick shot of some resin pulls for Alien Warrior pieces. I have the lower torsos in the works now. Next step will be sculpting the arms. Nothing cleaned up - just some rough pulls and again, quick shot with the smartphone...not the best quality. #aliens #alienwarrior #casting #smoothon #xenomorph #hive
Sculpt progress on some figures over the long weekend - most of my time was spent building the Sulaco Sleep Chamber but had some time to practice a little LED wiring as well as make some sculpt progress and a handful of ALIEN themed characters. Focusing on the Nostromo space suits and finishing my first version of Lambert. All 1:18 scale. #alien #aliens #nostromo #spacesuits #Moebius #sith_fire30
Build progress on the Narcissus Shuttle - 1:18 scale - ALIEN 79. Finally an update huh?! It's all about the storage doors...had to do some major updates to the doors after finding some reference material that gave me a better look at the doors details. Rewoked the door handles and the door's interiors. Also it's my first time building door hinges! Hinges work great, although not permanently attached at this time while there's so much more building to be done . The two small tabs venturing off the side of the door has small magnets to hold the door close. More updates to come! #alien #narcissus #shuttle #nostromo #diorama #scratchbuilding #ripley
Sculpt progress on the Space Jockey - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Prepping to begin sculpting the rib cage and the back sides of the creature and it's chair. Yep, thanks a mini me version sporting a Weyland science uniform. Also a work in progress (as like real life). smile emoticon I like to put a little bit of myself into the action. #spacejockey #alien #diorama #sculpture #avesfixitsculpt #lv426 #derelict #hrgiger
LEGO Wii U & Portal 2 are out now! Check it out!
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.

A couple new Big Chap (ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale) head sculpts getting a mold bath today - Was delayed on finishing them for the past several weeks. The "grin" version was adjusted bringing the skull down a bit to make the look more menacing (looks great with the clear canopy). The open mouth version will have the "tongue" in both a strike and retracted position, both being held by a magnet in the back of the creatures throat. #alien #bigchap #nostromo #sith_fire30
More images of "The Beast" - ALIEN 1979 - 1:18 scale. Detail of the textures added to the clear dome. When this is painted and heavily dabbed with gloss across the interior it will give it an organic appearance - like living tissue. The other shot is a profile of the Big Chap. #alien #nostromo #bigchap #sith_fire30
Additional images of the "The Beast" - ALIEN 1979 - 1:18 scale. Castings of the open mouth "strike" version head sculpt. Teeth came out without any air bubbles thanks to the styrene spures! The "tongue" is removable or can retract back into the open mouth. Held by a magnet. #alien #bigchap #nostromo #sith_fire30

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!

Progress on the Nostromo - 1:18 scale - ALIEN 1979. Working on corridors when I can find the time. A bit stretched with it being the holidays and all - plenty of late night/early morning work last week since it was the only time I could find. Building each corridor wall is a chore but looks so good when a set begins to take shape. I'm presently working on the corridors stretching from the galley as well as the stretch of corridor that wraps around the Auto Doc (Medical Bay). And wouildn;t ya know...just when I get on a role I run out of material...all materials!!! Molding, casting, sheet styrene, sculpting materials - I need to better manage my inventory! LOL! #alien #nostromo #corridors #sith_fire30 #weylandyutani
Sculpt update on The Queen - (Aliens 86) and the Egg Morpher (Aliens: Defiance). All 1:18 scale, sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt by Aves Studio LLC.
Began sculpting the lower jaw of the Queen. Started with a rough sculpt of the jaw, eyeballing the proportion and adding addition girth to the sculpt that once cured can be reduced through carving and sanding.
You can see my progression via the images attached. The next step will be to add a separate gumline that will include a set of lower teeth. Again, separate from the jaw so I can cast the piece in clear resin when it's time for replication.
The "neck" of the queen will need to be reworked once the master casts have been made. I'm using the smaller Revoltech Queen figure as an articulation reference for much of the articulation points for my sculpt.
For the Eggmorpher from Defiance, I've been sculpting the details to the back of the creature including the "pipes" as I like to call them as well as the separate spinal piece that emerges just below the back of the neck.
Next challenge for this sculpt will be the hands and the upper legs.
I've got a ton of pieces to mold and cast. And since just getting over a bad illness and this hurricane scare, it put me off a couple weeks. Sorry about that. I will always try for sure to get one update a week...don't want anyone to think I've fallen off LOL!
Hope you enjoyed the update! Always, more to come!

"The Stowaway" - Build progress on "the beast" as part of the Narcissus Diorama Build - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Most parts of the creature haven't been assembled yet and have been laid against one another to give a sense of what the final figure will look like. Articulation will be in the neck, shoulders, elbows and wrists. Everything else will be static. It will have alternate heads including one with the inner mouth extended. #alien #narcissus #stowaway #giger #xenomorph #biomechanical #nostromo #sculpture
Paint progress on "The Beast" - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Thanks to some creative suggestions from many of you on how to make dripping saliva for the creature, I chose to use a dab of hot glue to create the effect you see here...very happy with the results!!!
I actually took it a bit further and coated the glue with clear gloss which will give it a little more strength. Plan to do this with the inner jaw as well! Added a scale shot (little out of focus).
Thanks again for all the suggestions guys! #alien #painting #hotglue #slimetime #nostromo #giger #monsterinthebasement

Build progress of the Narcissus Shuttle - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. So much progress but still only scratched the surface. Worked primarily on the wall panel for "The Stowaway", building the details around the slumbering beast. A mix of scratch building using styrene sheet, sculpting using a two part epoxy and casting replication. Nothing is finalized of course, even the side tanks are held in place using some wax clay...I need to construct t a rack. So much more to go. I may begin building the framework leading to the supply closets and the airlock before moving onto the next project in progress (figure sculpting). Hope you enjoy the progress so far! More to come! #alien #narcissus #shuttle #diorama #scratchbuilding #sculpting #art #giger #aliens

Nostromo Main Airlock 1:18 scale - Update. Alien 1979. Finished adding detailing! Unfortunately I could only find/make enough parts to fill one side of the chamber. This side will get a mold bath, then once released, a few parts will be removed to fill the other half which will in turn have a mold made. Patched up the holes where the wall racks will fit - for mold purposes. The tubes and straps seen in production images as well as the control consoles seen in the film will be added last before painting. The ceiling of the chamber is being made and will be cast seperately. More to come! Sorry again for the iPhone images #alien #nostromo

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!

7/16/21 - Sculpt update on the Space Jockey - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale.
So after the inevitable cutting and resizing of the torso that almost made my work go viral for all the wrong reasons (I was briefly a cake designer on reddit it seems), it is once again whole and at this stage, complete.
Check out the comparison shot, before and after - the difference in length was a half an inch.
Along with the sculpt work that replaced that which was reduced and adjusted during the resize, I made sculpt changes to the creature's cranium, completed the detail behind the head and neck of the doomed pilot and reworked the sculpt of the hands to appear more bony and less fleshed out. I actually still have a bot of dremeling to do to the hands...and a moment ago I said this was complete (rolls eyes) LOL!
Next step, taking a break so I can get back to work on other projects. That being said, I know how I am and when there's a step needing to be done it will drive me crazy till it's complete so don't expect this project to be tabled anytime soon. BUT...believe I have the luxury of multitasking now LOL! Thinking about building up the remaining front of the chair, where the "canon" will sit. I'll have a better explanation in the update video that will follow up next week.
Thanks for checking in on my latest update! Hope you enjoy the pics! More to come!

Always wanting to make more work for myself and not let things be, I noticed while watching ALIEN the other night a sort of tapered edge going across the center of the creature's dome. This is easily seen when the beast is at rest on the Narcissus....just before it strikes out it's hand at Ripley. So, whatta ya gonna do.....Had to make some adjustments to my dome sculpt and vacuum form some samples. Will I be replacing the domes already painted?....Heck no! I love them...but, an alternate dome wouldn't hurt right? I know....I'm ridiculous. Anyway, enjoy my ghetto vacuum form station set up in the back of my truck bed...hey, when you don't have a huge work studio, you do what ya gotta do to create something. LOL! Images were taken with my smartphone so apologies about the quality on some of them... #alien #vacuumforming #dome #sculpting #nostromo
