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. #ALIEN #nostromo #alien79project #avesfixit #avesstudio #20thcenturyfox #hrgiger #miniature #sculpting #art #painting #monsters #deletedscene #crabwalker #lambertandparker #inspacenoonecanhearyouscreamo

Sculpt progress of the Nostromo Crew/Sleep Chamber - ALIEN79 - 1:18 scale. Work in progress. With only small details needed to complete the sleeping Kane figure, I have continued the sculpt work on Ash. I have finished building the figure out from head to foot. I need to adjust the position of the figure inside the chamber before I fill in the knees. I have formed the lower arms and hands using Aves FIXIT which I will define and detail out later today. The third crew member will be Lambert. I have a cast of Lambert's upper torso from her standard crew figure(created earlier) which I will dremel down and sculpt her body. Hope you enjoyed the update! More to come! #sf30creations #miniature #sleepchamber #nostromo #alien #ashisarobot #Kane #lambert #scratchbuild #diorama #avesfixit #avesstudio #sculpting

Mold making of the upper and lower torso of the Alien Newborn. Alien: Resurrection - 1:18 scale. This is a process I've been using for many years and have been very successful with it. The air sprues are styrene tubing. I build my mold boxes from black matte board. I coat the entire sculpt with a brushed layer of mold material before I begin a pour to negate pockets of air being trapped. Results tomorrow :) #smoothon #moldstar #customactionfigure #alien #aliens #miniature #avesfixit #avesstudio

"The TEETH! Fix the teeth!" I've always planned to fix the teeth but had put it off while building the rest of the figure. Realized after the last update that it was becoming more of an issue to some...and I get it believe me! So before any further updates, I chose to revise the sculpt yesterday. Sculpt progress on the Praetorian Xenomorph (Egg Morpher) - Aliens: Defiance - 1:18 scale. A work in progress. A little less friendly I hope? LOL! Sculpted the entire set of teeth once again along with the rim that goes above the gum line. The Defiance Praetorian featured teeth that resembled that of the Deacon newborn from Prometheus - human teeth (very creepy) with a protruding jaw that contained the fangs. I still plan to sculpt a version that features those teeth, just not as big as the original sculpt. Variation is a beautiful thing. #alien #aliens #defiance #darkhorsecomics #praetorian #covenant #nostromo #sulaco #sculpture #aves #avesfixit #avesstudio #sculpting #customactionfigure

Sculpt update on the NEWBORN - Alien: Resurrection - 1:18 scale. Sculpt using Aves FIXIT Sculpt by Aves Studio LLC Sculpted hips and began working the upper arms. Realized I need to thin out the lower back a bit and complete some detail just behind the shoulders before I can replicate (mold/cast) and head on to the next stage. Loving the elongated arms of this beast.... At this point with the project, I have pretty much caught up to the point where I left off with the Covenant Xenomorph, Neomorph and Defiance Praetorian - arms and legs. So expect a variety of updates, not JUST the Newborn from this point forward. More updates to come! Perhaps some Star Wars updates soon? Bringing some back to the workbench. #alien #alienresurrection #newborn #ripley8 #studioadi #sculpture #avesfixit #avesstudio studioADI
