My next project is going to be a large original ALIEN DERELICT on the same scale as the Nostromo kit.
Let me know if you'd like me to take on sculpting the Space Jockey to scale for that proje ... |

| Interesting to know degassing makes such a big difference for you. It's something I've considered trying, particularly having found an enormous improvement when I invested in my pressure tank. |

| That's looking really great! I love your detail work. Is there a slight twist or warp in it - or is that just the photo (the little tab in front of the ridged section and the rearmost part of the seve ... |

Now I guess I will need to cast the bridge and windows in clear resin...
That would be perfect for lighting, but might not work as well with an interior. Both sets of windows are angled, so I think ... |

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
Are you also going to work on a sculpt of Ash in his blister ? (just kidding)
Actually that's got me thinking now...! Lighted interiors of the cockpit/bridg ... |

Hope this is the right place to post this - I don't want to hijack your build thread, JT.
I decided to have a go at sculpting a scale Nostromo astronaut while I get my funds together to buy one of ... |

Bad luck DeckB26354. It was exciting to watch anyway. I thought for a moment it wasn't going to go at all - it just sat there with no bids for what seemed like an age.
Incidentally I was bidding ( ... |

I guess the shuttle(s) could also have been used for inspecting the refinery.
The lifeboat concept art definitely suggests a "use once" design, but the final version we all know seems lik ... |

| I actually like the landing gear on that model. I don't quite believe it though, as there are no jets on the under-side of the craft, so I'm not sure how it could ever touch down. |

Wow - the blister's a long way from the landing leg on the model. So where does the lift/elevator go?
It would be cool to replace the blister with a clear acrylic version and light it. |

Phenomenal piece of work!
I'd considered making a docking arm display for my Halcyon Nostromo, but this is really something else! |

There is this part of the ship which hangs down; though it's shape and location seem to change depending on the shot and/or model used. It's right around the landing leg area, though.
