Build status on The Autodoc - Medical station on the Nostromo. ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Sorry for the delay in updates. Celebration was this past weekend and it wore me out! Created a counter balance within the tube that gives the table Plus the build had a minor setback that needed some serious TLC to improve the function of the revolving table as well as being able to accept detailing more accurately.
Simple images, nothing mind blowing. As the detail builds and expands, the pieces will be all more interesting. Created a counter balance within the tube that gives the bed a little give...like it's floating... instead of it being a solid structure. Hard to explain...you have to be here. LOL! Next step will be the monitors above the bed. Hope to have some of that completed by the end of the weekend.

The long tail of the beast - Alien: Isolation - :18 scale. Assembling and sculpting the alien from the Creative Assembly game. The tail is twice as long as the 79 beastie - just took the original tail and doubled the length. Currently it is hard plastic...hope to make a bendy tail from it soon. Ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, torso, hips, knees etc.....similar to the 79 Alien I'm finishing up. Sculpting the new lower legs that are similar to the runner (dog) alien in Alien3 so it's a good introduction to what awaits me when I continue to build that particular beast. As always, I take more image than is needed - just love working with this fellow lol! #alien #alienisolation #creativeassembly #bigchap #giger #xenomorph #sith_fire30 #nostromo
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.
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.
Big, heavy and well worn, Zayne's suit has been sculpted and painted to appears to be a mix of woven material, leather and a lightweight metal alloy which includes a working removable helmet and PlSS (Primary Life-Support Subsystem) backpack.

Sculpt progress on the 1:18 scale Spraug figure as seen in the Dark Horse Comics series Star Wars: Invasion. Revisited the mid abdomen sculpt because the way I had it originally did not give continuity to the insectoid-like plates that run from the base of the neck down the back to the base of the tail. The cut off was too distinct, too wide. Now the sculpt looks more natural with the two segmented ball joints hidden but functional under the sculpt. #starwars #darkhorsecomics #invasion #spraug #sith_fire30
Sculpt/Build update of the "Crabwalking" Alien - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. This figure is inspired by a deleted scene for the 1979 Sir Ridley Scott film - ALIEN. You'll understand the figure more if you take a moment to check out the deleted scene - youtu.be/eR5jYeIMBKk
Finished the build yesterday. The final figure has better articulation than originally expected. I can actually pose the figure from a "crawl" to a "rising" position which is a plus since I originally conceived the idea of the figure being a static posed piece. An unpainted resin piece, using revoltech joints in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, upper legs, knees and ankles. The tail is held by a magnet, is static (hard plastic) and comes in three positions: curled, unfurling and straight. #alien #nostromo #deletedscene #lambert #crabwalking #giger #creepy #figure #art #sculpt
Build update on the MU/TH/UR 6000 "Mother" chamber - Nostromo - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Completed the build of the chair and have started to add paneling and detail to it. Needs some repairs and additional sculpt work to the chair itself. The entire front console was made from sheet styrene. More to come! :) #alien #nostromo #MUTHUR6000 #scratchbuilding #diorama #weylandyutani

Additional images on my workup of AVA's frame - Ex Machina - 1:12 scale. First some "likeness tests" as I like to call them - it's a helpful tool to overlay images of the subject I am sculpting (in this case, Alicia Vikander) to make sure proportions are correct. It doesn't always help with the shapes as much as it has to do with spacing of the eyed, ears and mouth. Additional image are of the head and body frame as both have been modified. The body has been reduced once again to make way for the sculpt work. I plan on sculpting the actress as she appears on set in her bodysuit....then on the backend, separate the parts and begin construction the skeletal parts as well as the transparent dome, arms, legs and torso. For now I am working on a few other projects in the 1:18 scale. #ava #meetava #exmachina #sithfire30 #AliciaVikander
Decided to get to work on Bane from Rises. The sculpty is only temporary - judging how the mask will fit around the head sculpt - the head cast will be the base for a sculpt which will resemble the actor Tom Hardy. The body frame is already in the works. I need to decide what other three characters I will begin this series with...
Sculpt update on the Egg Morpher - Aliens: Defiance (Dark Horse Comics) - 1:18 scale. I've been told by many fans of the species that this would be considered a Praetorian Xenomorph that has the ability to egg morph it's victims. I'm absolutely fine with that!
Closing in on completing the head sculpt of the beast. Enlarged the arc of the vertebral shell and added detail to the back and underbelly of the cranium. Still have a few more details to add before this and the jaw get a mold bath. This will be a tricky head sculpt to mold correctly. More to come! Including some new projects just getting started! #alien #aliens #defiance #xenomorph #praetorian #avesfixitsculpt #avesstudio #sculpting #nostromo #eggmorphing
After an update with the articulation, I decided to scrap the entire sculpt and start from scratch. Just wasn't happy with the helmet and the body was too "thick" like he was wearing winter gear HAHA!
The image you see is a new version, complete with a newly sculpted helmet and articluated body frame. The sculpt is far from being completed but I'm happy so far with it's proportion and stability. I have him in a "lunged" pose to show off some of the articulation points.

Completed Sian Jeisel from the Dark Horse comic series - Star Wars: Republic. The figure is 3.75" high and sculpted using Aves FIXIT two-part epoxy and painted using Floquil Acrylics. Visit sithfire.blogspot.com/ for additional details.
Here's how the painted head sculpt will appear in the helmet :) Am working on a way to include a lighting element. The head has free range of movement withing the helmet so poseability is still available.
Sculpt update on the a Working Joe - 1:18 scale. Alien: Isolation. Started sculpting the lower half of the figure this week. Still making adjustments to the head and upper body sculpt. #alienisolation #creativeassembly #amandaripley #workingjoe #sith_fire30 #sevatopol

Here are some shots with Jennir's Bearded head sculpt - a seperate cowl piece was sculpted and fit to give the appearance that hood was lowered around the shoulders. The hat has a clear band that goes around the neck under this seperate piece which hides it. Then the head is attached.

Upper body sculpt is close to completion - working on the back and additional detailing to the body straps and lightsabers. The sabers are made up from existing sabers, cut up and glued together to resemble the ones used in the trailers. I've made molds to produce casts. Once the casts are made, I will add the wrap detail using real cloth. The sabers are held to the chest by two thin, clear rubber loops...tried clips but were too big and looked obvious. The bands may be seen but can easily be ignored.
Work in Progress on the body of Starkiller in his Arena Combat Gear - the costume mostly associated with this character in The Force Unleashed 2. Working is the upper body, abdomen, shoulders, arms and body armor.
Completed the paint work for my first 1:18 scale Ash head sculpt :) Looks like the shadow of Ian Holm staring back at you! WIll make the reveal on my next blog update - sith_fire30 creations - sithfire.blogspot.com/
Much more details added to the EV suit for Dallas. FIXIT is a wonderful product for capturing small detail like this.

Some additional details added to the head sculpt of AVA - Ex Machina - 1:12 scale. Added the detailing to the machine skull as well as a more dramatic inset to separate the machine skull from the face of Ava. This will aid in the vacuum formed dome later. Sculpting her feet now. #exmachina #ava #aliciavikander #A24 #sith_fire30
Sculpt progress on the Egg Layer Xenomorph. Aliens: Defiance (Dark Horse Comics). 1:18 scale.
Been a crazy couple weeks with the Holidays ramping up and office work to be completed...but things are slowly getting back to normal and I finally had some time to complete one of the hands to the Egglayer Xenomorph.
I haven't sculpted many hands so it's a fun challenge and allows me to accumulate some teachable moments through trial and error. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger right?
Elongated fingers are creepy so I may have slightly drifted from the comic reference material a tad but I think it will add to the finished figure. Sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt, I have included a before and after shot for those interested, as well as a scale shot for the curious.
I will sculpt the second hand in the same dynamic fashion along with a neutral set of hands similar to the smaller Big Chap I did a few years back.
May be my last update for the new year? Not sure. Anyway, thank you all for your continued support! I hope to bring much more to the custom hobby next year. 2019 was a struggle to get things moving but I battled through it.
I hope all of you are enjoying holiday festivities and have a wonderful New Year 2020!!!!
Hope you enjoyed the update! Talk soon! More to come!!!

Sculpt progress on the Space Jockey - 1:18 scale - ALIEN. Creating framework for the arms to be sculpted over later. This helps with keeping things in even perspective plus it allows me more stability to use the FIXIT shorlty after mixing instead of waiting an hour for it to become more manageable. Using Aves FIXIT sculpt. Plan on beginning the arms and upper shoulders this weekend. #alien #spacejockey #nostromo #hrgiger #sculpture
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.
