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.
I've taken a series of photos that show the early work into getting the Savage Opress's frame constructed as well as some early stages into the sculpt. These series of photos show the work up on the newly constructed frame. I have began sculpting additional details to the head, as well as building the neck and shoulders.
The figure features a removable helmet! - The helmet is made from the plastic capsule you get from a gumball machine; scored, weathered and scratched to look used and worn out.
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.
Sculpt progress on the Alien Queen - ALIENS 86 - 1:18 scale.
Molding time! Time to mold the first of many parts that will be made to create this beautiful beast. First piece for replication will be the carapace (crown). This will be a two part mold, and as usual, I run out of product before I have a chance to finish! :(
I got the first half of the molding process complete - have ordered more material and it should be in my hands a couple days from now.
Built the mold box from foam core and used monster clay for the blocking. Applied a brushing of mold material (Smooth-On Mold Star 15 Slow) over the entire sculpt and surface, then made my pour. Several hours later, inverted the mold and cleared the monster clay to begin the second phase....coming later this week.
Will add more venting prior to doing my first cast. Much more to come...got some painting to do!!!

An update to my ultimate Darth Vader - I have completed the body sculpt and have added a coat of black paint to the form but haven't added shading nor any details yet. My main objective right now is to create three Vader helmets, each having a distinct look to the episode they appeared in (A New Hope, Empire and Jedi) The helmet for ANH is more of a combat ready version, dulled out and worn. I think I'm close to achieving the look - but I think the eye pieces need to be larger. Once I have the look down, the only difference I see with the other two would be the shine and shape of the dome piece. After I have finalized all three, I will go back and create a helmet that can be broken down into the three components. After that, sculpts of Vader's head to fit the helmets, and possibly additional articulation to the body. So I have a looonnngg way to go :)
Vader's shoulder armor is now in the works. Will also need to broaden his chest armor so that it slightly overlaps the shoulders but not enough to limit articulation.
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.
This is my UPDATED working sculpt of the Twi'lek mandalorian from Knights of the Old Republic - I have resculpted the neck, upper torso, shoulders, waist, ammo belt, helmet and shoulder pads. There will be several lekku which will be interchangeable. Need to add additional ammo packs, holsters and blade sheaths.

A shot showing the scale using mm - Darth Malgus as a Sith Acolyte - RAGE version! After seeing the "Return" trailer I knew I needed to have a sculpt showing some of Malgus' fury. I now have a total of 8 alternate heads to this custom figure - crazy!
Additional work on the upper chest and shoulders of Savage. I added the three frontal horns...although some adjustments will be needed because they appear to be too large...

Straying from the path he has sturggled to hold true, Dass Jennir arrives on Telerath. Unbeknownst to Jennir, his destiny with the living force is about to be revealed and his burdened conscience wiped clean....
Dass Jennir is a favorite character of mine from the Star Wars Dark Horse Expanded Universe.
My apologies for taking so long to complete this piece...as with all my work, I never center my full attention on just one project, always a bit at a time, tabling and returning to the subject when the inspiration hits.
This is a 1:18th scale figure - fully articulated with all the basic movements and can be posed in many postions like other factory made figures...mostly when his cowl is removed.
Both figures sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt and painted using Floyquil Acrylics.
The Clone Wars Savage Opress sculpt is 100% complete! I had to enlarge the hands and add magnetinc connections for the lightsaber hilt and blade attachement. I was going to make a hilt loop but wanted to experiement with the magnets..it's hold is very strong. I'll update with more images later on my next blog update. Should begin painting the big guy this week.
**UPDATE** Completed the forearms and added the first layer of sculpt to the upper legs. The lower abdomen and back still need some work. The arms are maxxed out on articulation - swivel/hinge joints to the the wrists, swivel joint on the forearm and the elbow/shoulder are ball joints. This headsculpt reflects the battel damaged received from both a grenade attack and a thermal detonator- I also made a casting of his chest piece to reflect damage. I plan to cast the shoulder armor which will also recieve damage. This reflects his appearance near the end of
the "Hope" trailer as he commanded Imperial/Sith forces in the sacking of Alderaan.
Darth Malgus from the upcoming Bioware game Star Wars: Old Republic. You've seen this dark lord in the "Hope" trailer - he will have alternate damaged body armor and an alternate head featuring the respirator seen in the "Deceived" trailer.

1:18 scale sculpt work (in progress) of Baby Doll from the motion picture Sucker Punch. Upper/lower torso complete - I always sculpt the form first, then add details such as clothing, armor ect later. Arms are still bare but not for long. The head sculpt isn't finalized. More to come! sithfire.blogspot.com/

Build update on The Queen - ALIENS - 1:18 scale.
Well,....the quest for a two part mold was a bust. Not a failure mind you, the mold is good but I wasn't clear that the mold release I was using needed to be petroleum based and NOT silicon based....which is like pouring fuel on a fire.
I'm not sure that's what happened - I need to investigate. This morning when I went to separate the two pieces (was very excited) it was like I poured a one piece block mold. Completely mended...not a trace of a seam line, nothing. So I had to cut the sculpture out of the mold.....I was very disappointed.
50 dollars a pop on molding material - so this cost me around 150.00....don't let people tell you this is an affordable hobby to get into.
Fortunately the mold can be used. Still need to cut some air vents here and there but all in all it came out very nice when capturing the details. I'll try it out tonight.
Would I have preferred a two part old? Absolutely! I may still produce one later on. Right now, I need to replicate a master and a few work copies in order to move forward with the project.
Lesson's learned...

-Note - this photo was taken then the eyes were repainted for the look you see in image 139. I kept this image because of the eye...very creepy! - A new head sculpt of Malgus as he probably appeard months later after the invasion of Korriban and the killing of his master. His skin has lost the powder white appearance, showing a more evolving dark power behind his eyes, brooding through his flesh. A sinister blank emotionless stare.

Wolf's head sculpt originates from the concept images from issue 1 of Legacy. - Wolf Sazen completed sculpt...well, almost. I need to tweek the armless sleeve. Wolf only has one arm, the other was taken by a Sith blade. Right now the upper part of the sleeve looks fine but the bottom part still looks a bot heavy/full. He will have an alternate head sculpt with his hair pinned back. I will be doing a second version of Wold with his new arm and flight suit.

Finally Jennir finds himself and his destiny once more - although not costume accurate (for now) , it's more than enough to have the head sculpt showing the reborn Jennir, leaving us wondering the Jedi's fate in the final pages of issue 17. We shouldn't worry, the force is with him...
I've read that Aurra still lives during the time of the New Republic..in her 90s but still looking as performing as she appeared during the clone wars. She was an assassin given the nickname "Nashtah". Since I have no visual record of "Nashtah", I will have to use some imagination. Her basic features will remain the same, but appearance and costume will be different. Two head sculpts are planned - one being the "traditional" appearance we are all used to, as well as an alterate using a little creative license.
Some images of a test cast of the Protomorph (Xenomorph) Head sculpt and Jaw. Cast was made using smooth-on Smooth Cast 320. I resculpted the teeth of the head as I was not happy with the softness of the detail pulled from the cast. The jaw fits in nicely - more detail shots (profiles) will be shown soon. Once the dome is made, the inner mouth and tendons will be attached to complete the first master. Then I will work on a couple variants. #alien #aliens #covenant #protomorph #xenomorph #sculpture #avesstudio #avesFIXITsculpt #smoothon #smoothcast320

Reworking my Mara Jade sculpt, reducing the legs and buttocks and adding ball hinged hips. Also cleaning up the paint job...
The sculpt work of the Yuuzhan Vong Warrior (Invasion) is complete. This will be the first of four completed Vong warriors from the Invasion comic series. Took some final shots before prime and paint.
Nera Dantels was a female smuggler who worked for the rebel alliance as seen in the short lived Dark Horse Comics series Rebellion. I am currently working on the main body sculpt and head. May have to revisit the face a bit because it appeares to be too thin. More details coming soon :)
The sculpt is based on concept work from Star Wars Galaxies. The character was never given a name from what I understand but was listed as a Mon Calamari Tech Specialist...really?...I decided a bounty hunter would be more interesting.
I completed the head a while ago and made a plastic cast out of the original sculpt.
I am taking some creative license and resculpting the lower legs and feet to fit the physiology of the species. So the boots will be bigger and a bit wider, so will the lower legs. The jetpack will be fully sculpted as well...
Sculpted using FIXIT SCULPT
Additional images of my New Republic Shocktrooper - This one is closest to completion...I have three more that are in various stages.

My first diorama (or playset I like to call it )- The Legacy Sith Temple - Inspired by the Dark Horse comic series Star Wars Legacy. It's under construction and when finished will be multiple levels of Sith architecture with power doors and various ancient Sith columns/sculpture.
Additional work on the upper chest and shoulders of Savage. I added the three frontal horns...although some adjustments will be needed because they appear to be too large...
