HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Here is a quick update to some of the work I am doing with the 1:18 scale ALIEN series along with my plans going into 2013!
I had in mind to complete the entire crew of ALIEN before the end of the year...but those plans fell through. Wish I could do this each day everyday but alas life steps in and priorities are changed
BUT....I did complete the last character head sculpt (or at least will complete it today)!
Brett's head has joined with the rest of the crew...so I got close LOL! Still needs some detailing and for photo purposes is placed on the body sculpt for Dallas but it helps to give you an idea how it will present. More details of his face once I have a casting done to check proportions.
and I am close to completing the alternate costume for ASH -
wearing his medical scrubs while working in the AUTODOC. Working on vacuum forming a small breathing mask, adding additional detail to the scrubs as well as some scratch built medical tools that will work in conjunction to the facehugger Kane and AUTODOC diorama I am working on...so when all these parts come together it will be an awesome set
Finally plans for 2013...First and foremost....GET SOME OF THESE WORK IN PROGRESS FINALIZED!!! LOL! Been known as the work in progress guru...I just take on too much but hey...keeps the interest going right?
Below are some Star Wars characters you will see in 2013 - going back to the comics this year. Have a few others in mind you will recognize and will list later in the year.
I'm also going to begin work on a 1:18 scale Predator...it will be from the original film I'm sure...if all goes well, DUtch and the rest of the crew will follow.
My ALIEN work will continue with ALIENS beginning to bleed into the mix. Working on a Hudson and Bishop head sculpt right now...
I plan to sculpt more ALIEN GIGER landscapes to go with the figures I create...many from ALIEN and a couple from PROMETHEUS - will be some enjoyable sculpting sessions I'm sure. These may actyally be some of the first kits I sell if all goes well...
Finally Ghostbusters...been wanting to do a line of these characters for A LONG TIME!!! I see a line of the four main characters along with several others from the first film (not so much from the second film) and I would like to build a containment unit diorama with lights and sound effects....going to have a balst with this!
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions as always!
What custom plans do you have for 2013???
