ALIEN 3 - Runner "Dog" Alien - 1:18 scale work in progress - Sculpted more of the teeth, shaprened the canines and added detail to the inside of the mandable. Currently working on the inner jaw. Will have two options, both attached using a magnet - retracted and extended (strike). Also while I was at it, sculpted a closed mouth version of the beastie Also worked on the longer, lower torso. The challenge will be how to make the legs work in both an upright and prone position.
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.
Much more detail to the head this week - also worked on the upper arms. I feel the detail is going to be enormous with this figure once completed...and with a full range of articulation? Awesome! I'm looking forward to beginning the chest cavity.
However, many revisions need to take place before I am satisfied but I feel I am heading in the right direction. All Hail FIXIT SCULPT! I couldn't do this type of detail at this scale without it!
I hope these early images show you how much effort goes into creating these figures - probably the most difficult part of building one of these is the early stages, creating a working armature that will allow the articulation I want as well as support the sculpt work I intend to apply.
Fifield - Mutation - CGI version - Prometheus - 1:18 scale. Work in progress, hope to get back to work on him sometime soon :)
Sulaco Sleep Chamber build progress - 1:18 scale - ALIENS. Hoping from the Nostromo to the Sulaco, I've been working on the canopy to the sleep chamber. First I sculpted the shape of the canopy directly to a cast of the bed using Monster Clay. Once I had the measurements right, I shaved away approx. .125 - .25 of the surface from the clay form. Next I sculpted a "shell" directly to the monster clay form using Aves FIXIT sculpt, creating the canopy while adding plot lines where the windows will be knocked out. Once the canopy had cured for 24 hours, I loosened the canopy free from the bed and began to remove the Monster Clay from it's core. I've also refined the surface of the canopy and will begin adding surface details where needed. Once complete I will make a mold and cast the finished canopy then insert clear acrylic sheet to the inside to create the windows. #aliens #sulaco #sleepchamber #breakfastinbed #colonialmarines #sith_fire30
Adding additional styrene detail to the Sevastopol large airlock door - Alien: Isolation - 1:18 scale. The new styrene pieces are currently coated in paper as you can see in the photo - laser cut. Will need to build out the locking mechanisms for the door, the emergency release hatch and cover.
Completed 1:18 scale, 5" tall articulated sculpt of one half of the Moomo Brothers bounty hunter team, Del Moomo. This character can be found in the pages of Dark Hose comics Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic written by John Jackson Miller and inspired by the artwork of Brain Ching.
Figure is a complete sculpt for the exception of the hands, neck of the head and parts of the feet. The sculpt was build around a custom built articulated frame.
Figure has 12 points of articulation.
Sculpt made with Aves FIXIT.
Hand painted using Testors Polyscale and Floquil acrylics.
The work in progress on my 1:18 scale articulated sculpt of MGS4 Raiden. The frame is a reduced microman body using Aves FIXIT for my sculpting material. Am preparing to continue working on the ams and legs. Still trying to figure out how to incorporate the clear pieces...the blade is out of to parts, mended together and will be sanded to appear as a one piece blade.
Nostromo build update..."Mother" Security Portal - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. "Security Portal" - it's the doorway section with the supposed scan that lights up allowing access to the "Mother's Womb" as Ridley Scott likes to call it. The first section of the corridor that leads to the Nostromo's master computer - a work in progress. I realized it's a tad taller than it should be...not much of a concern. Had to compensate for making the entrance from the bridge a tad too large. Still works smile emoticon
SO MUCH DETAIL into what I thought would be a simple panel wall. The more I studied the photos however, the more I realized just how much attention was given to every corner of these stage designs. Brilliant and insane.
One day soon I will master LEDs and how to wire them appropriately. Knowing that, I decided to create the doorway using clear acrylic as the frame. This is so I can add LED panels to the exterior later and recreate the lighting effect. Currently, the light is emanating from a handheld LED light...but even this offers an awesome effect. Next step is to sculpt the padding to the interior of the doorway, add a control panel then begin to build out into the small security corridor. #nostromo #alien #mother #MUTHUR #mastercomputer #weyland #dallas #tomskerritt
From the Dark Horse comic series Knights of the Old Republic, written by John Jackson Miller, comes my completed Zayne Carrick as he appeared in part four of Commencement.
The second of two semi-static posed figures is complete. This version depicts the creature as it appears in the deleted "crab-walker" scene from the 1979 film as Lambert and Parker make a desperate attempt to escape the Nostromo. This deleted scene however was thought comical by many, not well executed on film and revealed too much of the creature...reducing it to nothing more than a man in a rubber suit...something Ridley Scott was avoiding by using smoke and shadow.
Hand sculpted, hand painted. 1:18 scale. I borrowed resin cast parts from the original Alien figure I created a year earlier, made modifications to the torso, neck, shoulders
and legs.
When crouched or "crab walking", the figure is approx. 3" high from highest point on head to the feet. When standing, the figure is approx. 5.25" high, still not fully erect as the leg and hip joints limit the full motion (again, this was originally meant to be a static posed figure). Fortunately I was able to add several articulation points to the figure: Ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. Vacuum formed PETG dome is removable. The tail is static but is attached using a revoltech joint and can be switched out with a longer tail option.
Original was sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt, a two part epoxy. Parts were cast in resin and assembled to build this version. Used Model Masters Polly Scale and Tamiya acrylics.

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.
Sculpt progress on Deckard - Blade Runner - 1:18 scale. Sculpt featuring a version of Deckard sporting his trench coat. It needed some adjustments to the coat to allow better articulation to the cut in the mid-upper torso, shoulders and elbows. It also needed some finer detailing. Still need to add some additional detailing to the lower half of the coat but other than that this version of Deckard is complete. #bladerunner #rickdeckard #deckard #replicant #repdetect #sculpture #harrisonford
Finally today I added bedding to the Sulaco Sleep Chamber - ALIENS 1:18 scale. Used Aves FIXIT sculpt so the piece is very heavy now LOL! Next will be adding the control panel work to the front of the chamber, a gear cover and additional tech on the sides and below. Then it can get a mold bath and I can proceed to the next step which is creating the enclosure. #aliens #sulaco #sleepchamber #colonialmarines #sith_fire30
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 update on Kane: Burial Shroud. 1:18 scale, ALIEN 79. Some have asked where this is seen in the film - it isn't....not much anyway. The body is seen in the main airlock via the monitors Dallas and the rest of the crew are gathered around and the next time you see Kane is when the miniature prop appears to be shot out of the airlock into deep space.
The sculpt I am working on reflects mostly the 1:1 prop the production team created to shoot a scene where Kane's corpse would make a return later in the film - please read this excellent article that defines that scene....

Some sculpt detail to Kane's Burial Shroud. ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. A couple shots of some sculpt detail I was able to work on this past weekend. Material - Aves FIXIT. The shroud itself is pretty much complete - working on some details to the alternate head sculpts I wish to include with the piece. More images coming soon. #alien #kane #chestburster #nostromo #sculpture #covenant #deletedscene #production

Sculpt update on Kane's Death Shroud - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Began sculpting detail over the frame I created early last week. The top portion of the shroud will be separate, attached by magnets. Created a thin shell/frame for this piece to be sculpted over later. The head sculpt of Kane will easily be seen through the shroud, along with a variant that is similar to the sculpt for the prop miniature. More sculpt work needed and tons of detail to be added. #alien #nostromo #kane #deathshroud #chestburster #sculpture #avesfixit #deletedscene
Ash (Ian Holm) - Painted sample complete. Will begin working on the figures body frame and sculpt. A seconds and third version of the Ash head sculpt is in the works...one involving "milk".
We've got rubber tires! ALIENS APC - 1:18 scale. Casting is complete for 2 of the four rubber tires for the 1:18 APC with a third being poured today. Need to acquire some additional casting material to create the armor plates that will connect to the wheel magnetically. Need to cast the wheels as well. These guys are very dense rubber - very hard...about the strength of a Kong chew today but thick, not hollow. The tires come out a tad shiny which is easily corrected with a little dry brush of some matte black and a fine grit sandpaper. I plan to ad a bit more weathering o the tires as time goes on.
The mold for the Nostromo Galley corridor (2 portals) came out PERFECT! 1:18 scale - ALIEN 79. No pulls or gaps of trapped air! Now all I need to do is wait for my reorder to finish pouring the other side LOL! I'll be casting this tonight - excited to see how it turns out #moldmaking #nostromo #alien #smoothon #sith_fire30 #moldmax14NV
My 1:18 scale, 4.5" tall Furlag sculpt is complete. The head is a completly original sculpt. The figures body is also original and is sculpted over a custom created, articluated frame. I used Aves FIXIT for the sculpt and casted the head in plastic. Furlag has 14 points of articulation. Hand painted using Testors Polyscale (Floquil) acrylic paints. A very unique species in the Star Wars universe...
From Wookipedia - "Furlag was a small-time bounty hunter with large, batlike ears. Operating during the height of the Galactic Empire, he was not well-known, but often worked with other prominent bounty hunters, such as Zuckuss and 4-LOM. He, Zuckuss, and 4-LOM were subcontracted by fellow hunter Skorr on Ord Mantell during the early Galactic Civil War in the hunt for a group of prospective Rebels, then again later with 4-LOM and Zuckuss as well as several other bounty hunters including the Trandoshan Bossk to attempt to pry Han Solo's carbonite-encased body from Boba Fett."
Unfortunately Furlag underestimated Boba Fett and met his end being sucked through and open airlock shaft into deep space.

Self-portrait sculpt still in the works. Sculpting the lower body right now - science uniform, similar to Ash. Will soften the wrinkles and folds a tad after the sculpt is complete with some fine sandpaper. Will probably sculpt my hair again as I no longer spike it....hair gel was the thing for me several years ago. LOL! Alien Universe - 1:18 scale work in progress. #alien #nostromo #selfportrait #sith_fire30 #scienceofficer
1:18 scale ALIENS APC Tire and wheel build is complete! All parts getting a mold bath tonight. Hard to believe this originated from a 1/32 scale custom tire made for the Halcyon model (thanks Umi Ryuzuki and some help from Hydrospan). With all the customizations I've added it will make a very cool feature to the 1:18 scaled APC I am building. The tires will be cast in rubber wheel the wheel will be cast in plastic.

Finished making a couple castings for "half" of the galley corridor portals for the Nostromo - 1:18 scale. Alien 79. Ran out of molding material for the other half but will finish that piece this week. Happy to say they came out great! Used Smooth-On Smooth Cast 320. Solid and heavy - no hollow pieces here. I know it costs a bit more in materials to make them solid but at this point I'm not mass producing this so for a personal preference I'm very happy. #alien #nostromo #castinandmolding #smoothon

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
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
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
Casting of Ash's chair found in the Observation blister compartment of the Nostromo.The piece next to the cast is the original sculpt (Aves FIXIT). The chair will have a foot rest which will be made separately as well as a stand that will connect to bars allowing the chair to swivel and slide from an exterior observation section to an internal control console which is being worked on as we speak smile emoticon ...#alien #nostromo #modelbuilding #smoothon #sith_fire30
More detail being added to Dallas' clothing and jacket. The sleeves appear to be too short but will soon make some sense once I have added additional details. Soon i need to get this guy some pants LOL! If you look at the production images you will see the jacket included these detailed zipped pockets and laced enclosures on both sides as well as the sleeves. What a joy it is to sculpt in this scale (being sarcastic) LOL!
