Paint progress on The Beast: Airshaft - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale.
I know it's been awhile - believe me. Nobody is more happy than I to get back to some figure work. It's been a crazy few weeks but I've finally found some time to invest in a piece I started a few years back.
A recap...This is a static posed figure...well, more semi-static. There's articulation in the neck, shoulders, elbows and wrists. The dome is vacuum formed from PETG plastics that can snap on and off the length of the cranium. The figure can fit in the palm of your hand to give you an idea of scale. I have this piece and the "crab walker" which are variants from my original fully articulated sculpt of the Giger beast.
I'd like to try one, possibly two more static posed versions of the creature - the "box alien" as seen in the illustrated adaptation of the film and possibly a hanging version as seen before Brett's demise in the landing bay.
Much of what you see is stylized, I get it - reason?...Because at the moment, most of the figure has been painted with a flat back coat...and visually that's boring. Would have to blow it out with a strobe to get that detail and for right now I don't think it's necessary,
Only the head and arms have been detailed but not complete. Just had some fun with the camera/mood effects this time around. More to come! I have time to work on this and the "crab walker" for a bit this weekend! YAY! #alien #alien79project #giger #airshaft #nostromo #painting #acrylics
It's prime time!!! I take a floyquil undercoat gray and apply 2-3 thin layers to each of my pieces. Helps with the blending and color application later.
Detail shot of the back of Lumbra - the shoulder armor is completely free moving over the joints allowing for maximum articulation.
My complete sculpted figure of Lumbra - A Gotal space pirate who appeared in issues 7-10 of the Dark Horse comic saga Dark Times. Lumbra was killed at the hands of Jedi K'Kruhk after attempting to capture/kill Jedi younglings.
The figure has 12 points of articulation, an alternate head (still a WIP) and a working holster with removable pistol. The figure stands approx. 4.25" high. Sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt. Head featured in photo is a plastic cast of my sculpted original.

Finished sculpt of Zayne Carrick from Dark Horse's comic series, Knights of the Old Republic. The figure is almost a complete sculpt - Used Aves FIXIT as the sculpting material. 1:18 scale.
Although difficult to see, H2's main lense is actually real layered glass, cut down, beveled and glued inside a small plastic tube within the droid's head piece, then sculpted around to give the look of the main lense. Looking directly into the piece you can see layers which give the appearance of a true camera eye!
Yuuzhan Vong Warrior from the Dark Horse comic series, Invasion. Sculpt is about 85% complete - Shoulder armor is removable. Figure is a total sculpt - using Aves FIXIT. Plan to create an alternate head sculpt of the warrior. 1:18 scale, approx 5.5 inches.
Another paint work teaser of Zayne Carrick in Spacesuit from KOTOR. Shots taken with the Hipstamatic app on iPhone.
Lumbra Teaser - I am very happy how the eyes turned out - took about four attempts. The photo consists of two seperate shots. One is a closeup of the face and the other is an overlay of the same shot using a stronger light source to captrue the paintwork of the eye. His brow is so heavy, the shadows make it difficult to capture without some help.
Many finished pieces are lining up to be presented. I'm happy this guy is off to a very good start :)
Here's Jennir with the cowl removed completely - the cowl is a seperate sculpted piece made from the FIXIT epoxy. This material is incredible to work with - no limitations to what you can do with it. Props to Aves!
Yuuzhan Vong Commander Sha'Kel from the Dark Hosre comic series, Invasion. Sculpt is about 35% complete. Figure is a total sculpt - using Aves FIXIT. 1:18 scale, approx 5.5 inches.

Sculpt progress on the Protomorph (Xenomorph) from Alien: Covenant. 1:18 scale - Work in progress using Aves FIXIT Sculpt from Aves Studio LLC.
So yea, back at it! Trying to work on several projects at once to keep things fresh - best way to go. Slows down the completion time but you don't get burned out which is the worse thing that can happen.
Still sculpting on the upper torso - just so much detail that goes into these creatures. Worked a bit on the shoulder blades, the spine, the piping running across the shoulders. Began working on the lower torso as well - not sure if this two part abdomen will work - I'm gonna proceed with it and if it goes south, I will reduce the abdomen to a single piece. I don't want to do that but hate articulation points that look sloppy or tend to destabilize the build of the figure.
Hoping to finish the piping for the back, the lower abdomen by the weekend and begin the upper arms next week.
More to come! #aliens #alien #covenant #giger #sculpting #miniature #xenomorph #avesstudio #FIXIT #customactionfigure
The first of two semi-static posed figures of the creature from the 1979 film, Alien. Hand sculpted, hand painted. This version depicts the beast as it would have appeared in several promotional test shots during pre-production, the air duct scene where Captain Dallas met his end as well as a deleted scene appearing within the corridor while Parker and Lambert were making their desperate escape.
Figure is approx. 3" high from highest point on head to the feet. Articulated neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists. Vacuum formed PETG dome is removable.
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.
