I have been followin' Sith_fire30 for a few months now & I still cannot find words 2 Xpress my admiration for his level of skill... it is just inhuman & incomprehensible how GOOD these pieces are... AMAZIN'... (BL4CK5H33P picks jaw up off the floor) - I poured over every page hopin' 2 see some of his Bladerunner work, yet, 2 no avail... it is 1 of my fav sci-fi movies ever & Ridley Scott is my all-time fav director... I hope sith_fire30 may consider steppin' away from the sci-fi arena, & possibly try his had @ some historical figs - like Knights Templar/Crusades style from Kingdom of Heaven (another Ridley Scott film)...???

Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live & die on this day. How we die is equal to how we live. Once more into the breach, my friends, once more, or we close the walls up with our dead...

What type of figures do you usually work with to make the skeletons before adding the sculpt? Also how do you know when to stop sanding the figures to get the right frame? I know me I would do too much sanding.

It was great to see Dayton on the Customizing Panel too. Check out his video section on the front page.

Speaking of videos, Dayton was kind enough to video and send us some footage of Frank Diorio's Workshop so we could fp that too. Thanks Dayton.

Back from the dead...

It's been quite a long time but I have posted a lengthy update on the 1:18 scale sculpt work I have been doing over the past several months.

Work that includes updates to my ALIEN 1979 project -







1:18 Prometheus









1:18 Blade Runner



1:18 The Dark Knight Rises







and much more....

Hope you can take a moment and look in on my progress - comments, suggestions are always welcome!

Dayton.  This is your best work so far.  The ALIEN inspiration really brought some magic out.  You always have the magic, but lately the flood gates have been blown wide open!

Dayton, my comments are on the front page.

It is easy to see why I count you among the best customizers in the world. Thank you for sharing you work with us.

Good grief that is one stellar update! It took me 2 sessions to take it all in! Mind blowing work Dayton. The level of detail in all of these pieces of art is off the charts!

Seriously stunning figures, your presentation is also highly polished. You cetainly take things to a completely different level, the detailing on the Promethious Engineer is quite simply the work of a master craftsman.

Your figures are all insanely good! WOW! I love the presentation & photography to, this is more art than customising! I seriously hope this is how you make a living, rather than just a hobby! :)

Re: Sith_fire30 12/23/2012 ALIEN NOSTROMO DIORAMA UPDATE p.18!
« Reply #269 on: December 23, 2012, 06:49:32 PM »
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!  

First, my apologies for not posting on a more regular basis....between my 9-5, family, home and the attention I give to this crazy hobby, facebook has spoiled me when it comes to my instant updates using my iPhone - I get so into my work, I let my postings fall behind...I'll try to be a good boy in 2013!

Below are some test shots of my progress at building a 1:18 scale diroama of the Nostromo (ALIEN 1979) - More percisely, building Deck A of the Nostromo which consists of the following (eventually): Bridge, Galley, MOTHER, Auto Doc (Medical), Air Lock, Ash Obervation station, Hypersleep chamber along with all the corridors that connect the various stations. I intend to build these pieces to be sectional (modular) and simulate what you would have if these pieces were made to be sold as playsets on the store shelves (which would be VERY cool).

It's always important to do test shots of your dio work to be sure you are heading in the right direction - sometimes the camera lens will reveal mistakes your eye can't catch.

The following shots are ONLY being shared on ISY!! The figures of Ripley, Ash and Dallas are all work in progress and are not finalized :)










The remianer of these test shots are posted on my FB page and on my FLICKR photostream...












Hope you all enjoy and thanks for all the comments and suggestions! More updates to come! Working on more Star Wars related work by the way - expect some updates for new projects to come soon!

As far as Star Wars dios go - finished the spec work on Vaders Meditation Chamber (ESB) and will begin the build next week!!!

Everyone have a safe and happy holiday!!! Hope Santa is good to you!

Dayton
