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

Sculpt update on the Neomorph - Alien: Covenant - 1:18 scale work in progress. Sculpt made using Aves FIXIT Sculpt from Aves Studio LLC Began working on the upper torso of the figure, exaggerating the dept of the ribcage a bit so a thinner application of FIXIT can be added once cured. Need to add detail to the back and create the "spikes" that protrude. Next will be the lower torso, another head variant, tail and arms. More to come! #alien #aliens #covenant #neomorph #xenomorph #protomorph #sculpture #aves #avesfixitsculpt #avesstudio #customactionfigure #miniature

Sculpt update on the Newborn - Alien: Resurrection - 1:18 scale sculpt in progress. Sculpting with Aves FIXIT Sculpt by Aves Studio LLC Completed the sculpt to the other side of the head. 'Bout time...which is something that hasn't been very cooperative recently. Sorry for the delay. Working on the teeth, jaw and optional tongue today :) #alienresurrection #alien #sculpting #avesstudio #miniature #newborn
