Nostromo Wall Panel/Corridor Portal - ALIEN79 - 1:18 scale. The plan is this....I was able to scale a line drawing of the panel wall I found on the RPF forums. I plan to trace the piped pattern using rolled Aves FIXIT sculpt - one strand at a time. Will take awhile but the outcome will be worth it....especially once molds and casts have been made. #nostromo #alien #corridor #avesfixit #sculpting
Started to sculpt the centerpiece to the Nostromo sleep chamber, bringing all seven separate chambers together. ALIEN 1979 - 1:18 scale. I considered creating the center station entirely out of sheet styrene but decided a combination of clay, cast and styrene will work best. First step will be to sculpt the body of the centerpiece...minimal detail at best. Second will be to mold and cast the finished sculpt, cast and refine shape. Next I'll add detail with sheet styrene and other greeblie work needed and finally mold and cast the finished piece, bring the pods back together and mend gaps using epoxy making the connections seamless. #alien #sleepchamber #nostromo #sith_fire30
Just received all the blueprints I will ever need to build my 1:18 scale APC (ALIENS) - Purchased from Hydride-Ion for 50.00 which includes shipping. This artist does architectural/set design/illustrations for a living and if you're an ALIEN fan you are already familiar with his Nostromo / Sulaco blueprints. Brilliant work with great detail and though put into each design. With these new specs, he has helped solve some of the biggest challenges when creating interior vs exterior of the APC with detailed specs of the Transaxle. Great detail to the interior by the way - pleanty of study has gone into creating these blueprints. Even if your simply a fan of ALIENS and want a great piece of memorabilia I recommend you stop by his site and check out his work.

So here's a couple images of the build work so far for the Cafeteria Corridor of the Nostromo - Alien 79 - 1:18 scale. Nothing too flashy- still looking rough while building but later things will begin to tighten up. My original plan was to have the more familiar (movie featured)side of the corridor have accessible cabinets and the other side sealed....yet when I began to build I focused on the "sealed" side first unintentionally and found myself building in shelves. (rolls eyes) so...both sides will have accessible cabinets. - I feel lie I'm building a vintage sci-fi dollhouse at times LOL! #alien #nostromo #cafeteria #cornbread #sith_fire30
I did some casting to build a couple of corridor walls for deck A of the Nostromo. These two corridor walls are full resin casts and are about 90% complete in build - need to add a control panel or two as well as a few additional tubes/wire. Everything you see in these images are cast pieces from molds that came from scratch builds (for exception of the Parker and Brett figures). I'm very close to completing all corridors leading from the galley of the ship. All I need to do it create the flooring....which means some laser work is about to go out soon. #alien #nostromo #sith_fire30
Sculpt progress on the "Egg Morpher" Xenomorph - Alien: Defiance (Dark Horse Comics) - 1:18 scale.
Another set of images showing progression. The last image is the latest (late last night). Sculpting with Aves FIXIT.
Two things I plan to change - the ribbing just below the carapace needs to be thinned out, and the vertebral segments at the back of the head needs to have a higher arc.
The creature is unexplained..which is intriguing to me because I don't need to know a reason for it's existence. It's depiction in the comic is something out of nightmares (read the comic series, you'll understand).More to come! #alien #aliens #nostromo #darkhorsecomics #xenomorph #eggmorphing #sculpting #customactionfigure #miniature #avesstudio
I'm in the process of thickening the frame of the styrene shells which are the walls. When complete, the two parts will have molds made and cast.
Back at it with some more vector work to be laser cut soon This will be an adjacent wall that will connect to one side of the Nostromo Bridge panel I am currently detailing. This is the entrance to the MUTHUR module. The door will slide open and close 1:18 scale - ALIEN 1979. #alien #nostromo
Completed the sculpts to all three Nostromo EVAs - Dallas, Lambert and Kane. ALIEN 1:18 scale. Time to clean up and paint. The packs have been hollowed out for coin holders which will be used for the helmet LEDs to come later. Still working on Ripley's EVA suit as seen on the Narcissus - have an alternate plan for this sculpt that will be a cool accessory to my "Lucky Star" sculpt if all works out. #alien #nostromo #spacesuits #sith_fire30
Build status of the Autodoc - Medical station on board the Nostromo. ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Building up the center tower to the tri-monitor suite, then the overhead. Starting to finally fill out a bit! Walls will come later. Need to detail out the bed a bit more (which is removable at this point) along with the head and foot rests. Build using sheet styrene. #alien #nostromo #aliencovenant #kane #facehugger #chestburster #diorama #scratchbuilding Alien Alien: Covenant News The Nostromo Unplugged
Getting some vector art ready to be laser cut....needed to check scale first for both. ALIEN 1979 - Nostromo Airlock Vestibule and Galley floor panels. 1:18 scale. Images are a little rough per the work in progress but when it all comes together it's going to be a nice little diorama piece of an iconic ship

Nostromo Engineering corridor - ALIEN 1:18 scale. Wall deco - control stations within the corridors of the lower levels. Tthe film designers used the back of large television sets, glued them to the walls and gave them some greeblie work. paint and grime. The 1:18 scaled replica I built is out of sheet styrene. I plan to mold./cast the piece as is and add various greeblie work making each piece slightly different to one another offering interesting variations in the chaos of the lower decks. I can also modify the castings to make deco for Decks A ans B as well...although I will have to build additional pieces with more distinct variations. #alien #nostromo #engineering #corridors #sith_fire30
H2 was fun to create! The droid was once an R2-D2 figure, with heavy modifications to the sides, head, legs (removed) and undercarriage. The wings are made from styrene and epoxy with a small plastic tube threaded through the main body to either side. The head and wings have a full range of rotation. The clear stand was once that from a microman figure - works perfectly with H2.
Sculpt progress on Amanda Ripley - 1:18 scale - Alien: Isolation. A work in progress. Still working on the details to the back of the figure, the arms and head are still being worked on, finer details and the accessories are also being made. #alienisolation #alien #nostromo #sevastopolstation #sculpting #sith_fire30 (4 photos)
Additional sculpt work added to the Kane w/Facehugger head sculpt 1:18 scale - ALIEN 1979. Began to sculpt the tail. Problem is, wrapping the tail around the neck of the figure prohibits me to remove the head sculpt for refinement. The idea will be to sculpt the second half of the tail separately and attached both parts by a peg or magnet. Already doing this with the chestbuster so I'm sure it will work out here #alien #facehugger #kane #chestburster #sith_fire30 #daytonallen
The 1:18th scale, 4" tall sculpt of Starkiller from the Force Unleashed 2 is completed. This sculpt depicts Starkiller as he appears in the teaser trailer for the Lucasarts game as well as many of the promotional commercials...

Starkiller's two head sculpts (standard and "rage") are original sculpts depicting the character from the concept art and not that of the actor. When I have time I will go back and sculpt an actor likeness.
The shoulder armor is a seperate piece and is attached by a clear band around the shoulder.
The body is a full sculpt using a custom made articluated frame or armature. The figure contains 14 points of articulation.
Included to hilts which are built from existing parts, can be attached to chest using clear banding. Also included are to sabers with attached beams. Lightsabers do not light up.
The arena robes are from the Darth Maleval box set and was altered/reworked then painted to give a worn look. Hood is from a VOTC Darth Sideous, altered and repainted.
Figure was sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt and hand painted using Testors Polyscale and Floquil acrylics.

Work in progress image of the Sulaco Sleep Chamber - ALIENS. 1:18 scale. Poor smartphone image - I apologize. Fitting in the canopy windows using .10 clear acrylic sheets, trimmed down and fit to the underside of the canopy. I could vacuum form the clear canopy but this works just as well and with less material. #aliens #sulaco #sleepchamber #sith_fire30
Build update to the AutoDoc medical station-NOSTROMO-ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Began building up the central section of the room, Completed the monitor suite above the bed as well as the surgical tool locker. I'm thinking of using a sticker/decal for the tools instead of cutting then out piece by piece. Began working on the overhead which needs some revisions after realizing it's too wide and the front isn't supposed to be curved if only slightly. Sorry for the painters tape in the shot but it's necessary to get the feel for what I'm doing. More to come! #alien #nostromo #autodoc #ash #science #scratchbuilding #medical #diorama #kane #facehugger #diorama
Additional image of my 1:18 scale Roy Batty in trench coat (closed) - Blade Runner work in progress I took last night. I have two alternate head sculpts and two alternate torsos being worked up for this one figure. Deckard and Zhora are being sculpted right now, Pris is next. #bladerunner #tearsinrain #roybatty
Paint progress on "The Beast" - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Yes it's a phallic gesture....it's GIGER for crying out loud. What do you expect! Anyway, so I'm closing in on completing the paint work for the several head variants I have created for the beast. This particular variant depicts the creature as it revealed itself to Brett and Jonesy in the landing gear bay of the Nostromo. It's dome and flesh of the beast appears to look pale, possibly the lighting they used or the fact that the creature recently shed it's skin?...very creepy and disturbing so I had to recreate it in 1:18 scale smile emoticon . #alien #nostromo #giger #painting #sculpting

Completed 1:18 scale, 4.25" tall sculpt of Darth Malgus - Sith Lord from the Lucasarts/Bioware MMO game Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Figure is a complete sculpt using a custom articluated frame as it's armature. The 8 different heads have all been sculpted and hand painted - each depicting a window of time in the life of Malgus and inspired by the cinematic trilogies created by Blur Studios: Return, Hope and Deceived.

All armor is hand sculpted and original. The chest and left shoulder armor are removable and can be replaced with "battle damaged" armor as an alternate. Hood is a sculpted piece and works along side the soft goods cape which is an altered piece from a store bought VOTC Darth Vader.
Lightsaber is hand sculpted, casted in plastic. Saber does not light up. Bean is removable from hilt.
Sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt and hand painted using Testors Polly Scale and Floquil acrylics.
Working on the Fifield creature frame - a very rough early shot of the completed articulation. Prometheus 1:18 scale. A shot of Fifield (Sean Harris) next to his CGI monster counterpart. Both works in progress. The frame for the creature will have max articulation. Need to be a little taller. The hands and feet will be sculpted (using parts for placement). Looks ridiculopus right now but as the sculpt progresses it will look less silly and more horrifying...I hope. #Prometheus #fifield #seanharris #cgi #fifieldcreature #alien #nostromo #sith_fire30
