Paint progress on the Alien from Alien: Isolation. A work in progress but I thought I'd share a couple fun pictures of the process half way through. The full shot was actually a mistake from low light but since the paint isn't finalized I thought it would be cool to share a full body shot of the assembled figure with that extra long tail smile emoticon I plan on creating a bendy tail eventually but for right now it's a static piece connected with a Revoltech joint. Working on a two additional head sculpts for this figure. Closed mouth and open strike. #alien #alienisolation #creativeassembly #amandaripley #sevastopol
Nostromo Corridor Update - 1:18 scale - ALIEN 79. Some of the first B deck corridor pieces - I think it's B Deck. It can get confusing sometimes. Where I am quite comfortable of my whereabouts on A, below that I can get lost. I know one thing...C deck is the basement...where the monster lives. Anyway, the detail is taken to a whole new level the deeper you go into the craft. I need to create some additional greeblie panel work while I go deeper. Lights will illuminate from the screened in boxes you see here. Additional tubing and details will be added. #alien #nostromo #corridor #greebliework #modelbuilding #sith_fire30
THRILLING isn't the word to describe what I'm feeling right now after receiving these pictures from Jean-Pierre Jeunet this morning of my Newborn (Alien: Resurrection) head sculpt on display along with various other miniatures made by fellow artists, Kazuhito Kimura, Dominique Roche and the director himself, Jean-Pierre Jeunet!
So happy and thankful once again for the opportunity to contribute to a beautiful display full of brilliant work. I'm honored to be part of it!
If you're visiting Lyon, France before May 19, 2019, be sure to take some time to check out the Caro/Jeunet exhibit at the Musée Miniature et Cinéma and say hello to my little guy. He may be a little homesick but he's in good company

I'm preparing to pour the top half of the Funky Shü mold. The curved eyedropper will provide the pouring inlet (sprue) and the copper wires super-glued to the Shü are the vents which will allow air to escape the high points of the mold as it fills with plastic. This particular design and orientation has only two air entrapment points, so it was relatively simple to vent.

Two momoko wearing shoes I made. Lacy Modernist has a test pair--a reject set of castings that I drilled a bunch of holes in to figure out where to best anchor wires to hold the laces.
It's hard to make out the details of the black shoes on black floor--not the best choice of materials on my part, sorry.
"Are you ever going to paint any of your aliens?"....Yes! Yes I am! Here's a quick shot of a finished piece. Much more to come smile emoticon #alien #aliens #nostromo #alien79 #xenomorph #bigchap #giger #painting
A quick shot of some resin pulls for Alien Warrior pieces. I have the lower torsos in the works now. Next step will be sculpting the arms. Nothing cleaned up - just some rough pulls and again, quick shot with the smartphone...not the best quality. #aliens #alienwarrior #casting #smoothon #xenomorph #hive

Paint progress on the Newborn - 1:18 scale - Alien: Resurrection. Musée Miniature et Cinéma piece for director Jean-Pierre Jeunet and the CARO / JEUNET expo.
Working on the first couple layers of the face, eyes, mouth. Very fleshy at this stage - want to highlight it out a bit with some aged whites or even lighter tans with a hint of greens running through it. Will begin moving toward the back of the head and neck over the next day or so.
Difficult for me to work on this piece all in one day due to my work and home schedule so I'm doing the best I can- Living for a quiet weekend. To have more time to paint this and much more.
Hope you enjoy the works in progress... #aliens #alien #newborn #painting #sculpture #customactionfigure #miniature #caro_jeunet
After several technical difficulties, I'm finally back on schedule to begin painting! Haven't painted in quite some time so it's nice to mix things up a bit. Speaking about mixing up, that's what I've been doing over the past couple days - mixing paint! LOL!
Already have a few coats of gray acrylic (primer) applied to the Newborn heads. Jeunet only needs one but I always like to have two worked up just in case.
May even have time to paint up a couple other Alien (79) figures that were tabled!
Will take shots of my progress and update when I can.

I'm preparing to pour the top half of the Funky Shü mold. The curved eyedropper will provide the pouring inlet (sprue) and the copper wires super-glued to the Shü are the vents which will allow air to escape the high points of the mold as it fills with plastic. This particular design and orientation has only two air entrapment points, so it was relatively simple to vent.
This mold was not sealed up tightly enough when I poured, because I was using fewer than the usual number of rubber bands in order to get a clear shot of the filling process with my camera.

Finished building the two EVA suits for Amanda Ripley - Alien: Isolation - 1:18 scale. One will represent the Torrens yellow/gold color scheme while the other will be the standard color scheme for many of her missions while on the Sevastopol. Working on some accessories including a couple concept weapons not realized in the final game. #alienisolation #amandaripley #torrens #EVAsuit #keziaburrows
