This is a custom Hearts of Steel : Optimus Prime, built by Griffith of monolith productions, painted by me. Its about 300 parts. This was one of the most difficult paint jobs ever for me, I had to use special resin adhering paints for the base coats. From there, I coated with lacquers and detailed with Testors Model Master enamels.
WIP Eldar Avatar. Scratch build over a action figure skeleton. My interpretation of the classic GWS Eldar Avatar from warhammer 40k. Worked on the project on and off for about 2yrs now, will finish and start painting only when I'm absolutely happy with it. Cheers.

Sculpt progress on the derelict corridor - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Sculpted the base of the Giger corridor today to give it more stability and filled in some gaps. Sculpted down the floor of the corridor to make way for sculpted detail which will be sculpted using FIXIT sculpt. More to come! #alien #giger #corridor #derelict #diorama #sculpting #avesstudio
Partially scratchbuild Fire Brushtruck based on a 1:18 MAISTO Hummer. Beside the front end up to the drivers cabine, the entire rear section is handmade by me. The Fire truck is an almost 100% replica of the brush units former used by the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD).
Since this model was made for somebody else, who wanted to apply his own decals, this truck has no markings on.

I threw together some parts to show how it's going.

Actually I'm not sure if "scratchbuilding" is 100% accurate. All the black plastic parts you see in this photo are stock of modified Athearn GP-35 parts. The rest is my work.

Converting an old Chimera to a Hellhound. The Graia pattern tank, scratchbuilt from a paper towel roll, some small tupperwear style cups and styrene sheet.
Building the doors of the supply room compartments for the Narcissus Shuttle - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Yawn!! I know - wow, yay doors right? Gotta do the other door and then the insides of both with clear acrylic for the view ports. #Nostromo #narcissus #shuttle #diorama #scratchbuilding
Build progress on the Narcissus Shuttle - ALIEN - 1:18 scale. No fancy shots here as its late and I'm spent - here is the frame work for the overhead as you enter the lifeboat. Only part of the shuttle that reflects decorative designs seen in the Nostromo's galley. It's a separate component that when complete will help bring together all other rear components and "lock" them into place so to speak. Ellen Ripley sculpt also a work in progress. #ALIEN #nostromo #narcissus #shuttle #diorama #scratchbuild
