    Jun 23, 2012 - Narcissus Builders Club N Stuff. #1

    Ok so got me a bunch of acrylic sheets and have been wanting to do the Narc from Alien for a while now. Just scored one of the terrible Aliens jobs, yeah i know they are different models with different angles etc but i want it for comparrison. The Alien Narc will be a complete scratch and if i can nail all the donors will be accurate to the studio model. I got pretty much all the available refs out there but to start with i could use some help with the interior. so far the obvious 8 rads stick out but i haven't really been looking through any kit scans so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    1) Airfix B-29 w/ Joltin Josie nose art
    2) Airfix Scammell Tank Transporter
    3) Airfix Sam 2 Missile
    4) Airfix SR-M1 Hovercraft
    5) Tamiya 1/35 M16
    6) Tamiya 1/35 M21
    7) Tamiya 1/35 SDKFZ 223
    8) Tamiya 1/35 SDKFZ 263
    9) Airfix 1/144 space shuttle
    10) Tamiya Centurian
    11) Tamiya Tyrell 1/12 x 2
    12) Tamiya Tyrell 1/20
    13) Airfix Vosper Mtb x 2
    14) Airfix Esso Tanker
    15) Revell Gemeni
    16) Mpc R2D2
    17) airfix 00 Evening Star
    18) Airfix 1/72 RAF Refueling set.

    Yeah got the stack of kits pix from Bowers site. but theres a whole bunch more and the interior for me is going to be a *****. Turret still on . i think Johnny is too scared of boredom measuring the panels and converting them.

    Thanks Guy's. i didn't have the Leichter. thanks for that. Martin Bowers pix as Martyn mentioned show a few of the kits that are used on this model. The Tyrell and 8 rad are used on the exterior. The scammel is also used so i'm going through some kits today.

    you are also gonna want a certain Airfix kit that was never repopped because of an accident with the moulds. AND its decals. Yes...THAT one...the one all the kit collectors want.

    Fortunately I have moulds and scans.

    LOL, if id have looked at the Bower pics, id not have had to access the brain too much, it hurts to do that these days LOL.

    I see lots of Tyrrell and Leichter on the underside Simon/Martyn, cut Leichter chassis' and Tyrrell bodywork.

    Never looked at this model much, seeing it naked like that, wow, theres more to life than StarWars afterall eh .

    Exactly why I'm doing this one Lee. Had a Star Wars OD the last few years. Pretty sure the chassis on the back underside is the scammel Trailer. I've been meaning to pic up the H/craft too.

    DERRRR it's R2. That's not the only Star Wars kit you gonna need either, LOL.

    You are gonna need a lot of the staples. Two Centurions, two 1/12 Tyrells, the Scammell, a Revell Gemini, that Airfix Superfort and way more 232s than you think. A whole bunch of trucks and truck trailers, not the regular ones though.

    I had the complete list from Martin, but I paid a pretty penny for it and it's embargoed. Still, I can't really stop you from having a gander at my Narcissus stash shelf next time you're over! I seem to recall he did publish it himself on his site at one point, anyway. I had a look just now in case it is still there, but couldn't find it.

    In the meantime, drawings; should be a start. Crosscheck the dims yourself, don't take mine as gospel.

    Lee, I know, I know. If I could verify MB published the info himself then I'd just blab, otherwise I'll consider myself bound by what I signed. (I remember being all chagrined to see it posted, but maybe I dreamt it.) But Simon's local, and a mate. I can't stop him from noticing how my stash is stored.

    I can say this one's not so hard - many repeats on it, and not as many separate kits as you'd think.

    Holy crud, those are new to me, thanks!

    OK so listing off what we know from existing IDs, photos of the original and from MB's replica builds:

    Tamiya Centurion 1/25 x 2
    Tamiya Tyrell 1/12 x 2
    Tamiya Tyrell 1/20 x 1
    Airfix Vosper MTB x 2
    Airfix Esso Tanker x 2
    Tamiya 1/35 M16
    Tamiya 1/35 Schwere x a stupid number
    Tamiya 1/35 Leichter x another stupid number
    Revell Gemini (just the pilot)

    Martin tells us there are 27 kits needed, so that leaves 18 kits to find.
