Additional images of "The Beast" - 1:18 scale plastic cast assembly - ALIEN (1979). Made some adjustments to the hands (smaller) and slight adjustments to the ankles and fittings on the back. Still need to make adjustments to the head sculpts and cast the bendy tail. Getting there!!! #alien #nostromo #giger
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.

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 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 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
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
Tightened up some of the sculpting to Amanda Ripley - 1:18 scale - Alien: Isolation. Busy building the motion tracker. Still need to sculpt those shoe laces LOL! Head sculpt will get a mold bath soon #alienisolation #creativeassembly #Sevastopol #nostromo #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
Focused on getting the Engineers sculpt work completed so I can continue working on the set of 4 Sleep Chambers for the Orrery Room. #Prometheus #engineers #Spacejockey
LEGO Wii U & Portal 2 are out now! Check it out!
A small vig of a hallway in Hadley's hope during the events of the game Aliens: Colonial Marines (Or when Hadley's Hope was overrun with Xenomorphs). I mainly built this to test out new ideas for wall decoration (Notice the blood splatter and markings). Also, Aliens is awesome. I know that the main hallways you see in the movie Aliens look different, but I'll make something in that style later.
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
Frames created and sculpt work beginning for the first two human figures in a 1:18 scale ALIENS line! Ellen Ripley with and without jacket, and Pvt. Vasquez with and without upper body armor! You may spy the 1:18 scratch build of the power loader in the background - also a work in progress. #aliens #ripley #Vasquez #letsrock #powerloader #sith_fire30 #colonialmarines
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.

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

Looks like I have a crew forming!.....ALIEN 1:18 scale. Just a test shot of the crew sculpts in progress. Getting close but have a handful of sculpts to go before the manifest is complete and the Nostromo can sail! smile emoticon #alien #nostromo #the8thpassenger #sith_fire30
Sculpt update on the Queen - ALIENS 86 - 1:18 scale. Worked on the back "fins" of the crown - one side close to completion, the other side dremeled and ready for sculpting. Also finished dremeling out the underside of the carapace so I can begin sculpting the details once the top surface is complete... Will not be long till I begin sculpting the Queen's head! Going to adopt articulation points from the Revoltech Queen and the Hot Toys AVP Snap Kits. More on that later. #queen #aliens #xenomorph #hive #sculpting #avesstudio #avesFIXITsculpt #miniature

Mother/Daughter- Ellen and Amanda Ripley. Both sculpts a work in progress. 1:18 scale - Alien: Isolation and ALIEN (motion picture). Busy sculpting/building the accessories such as the incinerator units, Amanda's shoulder satchel and a cat carrier for Jonesy. Additional accessories will follow like motion trackers and the little robot seen in AI. #alien #alienisolation #creativeassembly #amandaripley #ripley
Hey everybody,
In case you haven't checked it out, the KICKSTARTER campaign ( kck.st/2Gz2Jf5 ) to build the rest of the 1979 LEGO ALIEN & expand upon the bust I made ends in a little over a week!
You can get backer-exclusive instructions to build your very own version of an upgraded bust through the campaign, and pre-order instructions for the reworked skull as well, while supporting me in bringing the full-blown ALIEN movie classic creature to LEGO cons and comic-cons by years-end (BrickCON is the goal :) )
Thanks so much to all of you who have helped out thus far, I'm getting SUPER close to reaching my goal, and have begun to plan, organize, and accrue elements for this massive undertaking. I can't wait to develop instructions and use all the newer elements, and skills I have developed, since the completion of the original.
You all rock! See you on LV426!
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!

Sculpt details being added to the Chestburster - 1:18 scale. Alien (1979). Here is a scale shot while the sculpt is in progress. #alien #chestburster #nostromo #sith_fire30
Slowly building the beast from Alien: Isolation - 1:18 scale. I'm thinking that the lower half of this beast will have limited articulation because of stability...perhaps not. I haven't decided yet. I don't see a reason for the upper legs to ever straighten vertically. Right now concentrating on the sculpt of the lower legs. I'll cross the articulation concerns when I get to it smile emoticon #alienisolation #alien #Sevastopol #amandaripley #nostromo #xenomorph #creativeassembly

My toy/action figure tribute to James Cameron's 1986 action Sci-Fi masterpiece "Aliens".
I customized my 4 inch Toy Pizza/Knights of the Slice Glyos-compatible Cyber Mama action figure in homage to the character "Ripley".
What you also see here in this photo is the "Ubiquitous" diorama display set made by Nova Revol. The deluxe Alien Queen toy is made by Lanard and the Power Loader is made by Hiya Toys.
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
The Brooklyn Alien, from Peter Kokis of Brooklyn RobotWorks. The exoskeleton is now seven years old...yes, that is me inside... Photo credit to Beth Brown.
As seen in the film, the other three Engineers in their chambers did not survive their slumber....something "burst" out.... It has not been confirmed what happened though. Melted canopy - PROMETHEUS 1:18 scale. The three corpses inside the chambers will be weathered husks using casts of the surviving Engineer, and the canopies will clouded to resemble chemical burn and reaction. #Prometheus #engineer #deacon #chestburster

I try to update you with as much of my Nostromo build as possible...even the less interesting things, even when they contain MAJOR screw-ups. This image contains both....You have your pilot chair, alt. flight chair and the chair for MUTHUR's control room....all work in progress. Then you have the last sectional for the galley...and here is where the screw up lies. Those that are geeked out fans of the ship (like me) will be able to tell you right away that this sectional isn't long enough....the padding up top tells the story. It should have 6 pads up top, not five. Check out the actual set image and see for yourself. This pattern should also echo in the back of the chair as well - it doesn't....and I thought I was finished. I can fix this one of two ways...place this in the Sevastopol set work and start over with a new one or extend this piece up to another inch. It can be done! The padding can easily pop off and the styrene cut. It just sucks to have these set backs ya know? You customizers and model makers know this all too well!

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.

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!
