Transition – Element Fire aka SW- by SPARX

Here is the rewritten text: Human: Three of four unique sculptures, each depicting one of the four elements - EARTH, WIND, FIRE & WATER - are now complete. This is the third sculpture featuring the FIRE ELEMENT. The designers will use movie-themed characters in a collage of props and outfits to represent each element. Inspiration struck when I wanted to add four corner lights to our home's living room. Using "The Fifth Element" movie stones as bases, all that was needed was a figure to represent each element. The fire element is the first sculpture to be completed. The first female actress who came to mind for this role was Sigourney Weaver in Ghostbusters. Remember the iconic line: "There is no Dana, only Zuul"? In this case, there's no Dana - just Ripley! I also drew inspiration from her role in Aliens. I took it a bit too far with this sculpture, adding three hair shells, four faces, and four torso sections to fit LED lights. Check out the pictures for more details. To light up the base, I added tubes and wire cavities as usual, but also lit up Sigourney's eyes and installed flickering LEDs in her gun flame.

However, please don't share these files on social media or other websites. Linking to this page is perfectly fine. All the parts are designed to be printed base-ready and can be sliced using your preferred slicer. The cut files are optimized for small resin printers like the Photon, with minimal support required as seen in the images. These orientations also work well for FDM printing, but you may need to experiment to find a better orientation that reduces support. The base is divided into two parts and cannot be printed using SLA technology unless you have a larger resin printer. I've produced many prints to ensure the figures are fault-free and easy to assemble. This model is scaled at 1/6 and stands at an impressive 510mm tall, with Sigourney sitting on top of the demon dog. You may wonder why I cut the model into smaller parts instead of printing it in one piece. There's a good reason for this: assembling a large model can be extremely challenging, especially getting into tight spaces like her left leg! Smaller parts also allow for resin printing at full scale and reduce support requirements on FDM printers. Now you know the reasoning behind my design choice! Please don't adjust my recommended settings for infill or scaling. As shown in the pictures, this model prints beautifully, and I'm confident you'll be thrilled with the result when it's complete. All of my models are released only when they can print flawlessly, so please don't remix or "fix" any faults in this model and then republish. If there's an issue, just let me know - I'll fix it promptly! I create these models for my personal collection, but I'm always open to suggestions for new content covering the DC and Marvel universe, as well as TV and film cult classics like Barbarella. Feel free to share your ideas with me! As always, enjoy the parts on offer. People often ask why my models have such prominent details - not just the more risqué areas! It's because I design them primarily for my own collection. To achieve a smooth finish without losing detail, I sand down each model with fine emery and then subject it to an acetone vapor bath for 60 seconds when using FDM printing. This seals the shells and creates a smoother appearance but removes some of the detail - hence, I build more detail into the model!
