Narcissus Builders Club N Stuff.

So yeah... There you go Martyn you can post the whole thing. He he....

More refs here, among them photos of a Bowen studio scale replica displayed in Paris (as part of the Accueil | Les Archives de la Science-Fiction collection). Interestingly, this replica includes the screenused cockpit interior posted at the beginning of this thread :

Enjoy !

Thanks Fred.... Great pix of the Bower model at the sci-Fi museum. It appears that that project was taken over by Pro Mod on the prop summit forum Martyn. That was 2010. Still no sign of it as yet. Same for the Aliens version from Timeslip. Oh well just have to build my own then.

You're very welcome ! I've added 2 last shots on propsummit this morning... (found them in my files by accident)



Fred

Great shots, thanks for posting. Interesting how different the size/shape of the windows are on that one, compared to the original. I'd still be very happy to have it in my office :-)

Me too. The windows are different because the whole front hull is a little shorter and differently proportioned. Even if you are the guy who originally built something, you're not going to copy it perfectly 30 years later unless you have the luxury of indefinite amounts of research time. Martin is a working pro and doesn't have that luxury, so "95% accurate and built by the original guy" has to be good enough.

Couple HD screencaps.

I can't confirm the kit, since I don't have neither the kit nor scans of it.. but I do see the Airfix-00 Evening Star in this pic

Yup, right next to the esso tank wagon. I've ordered/won some of the kits required as well as some I have already. Gonna try and nock out the dims and compare them to Martyns Drawings. I'm gonna nock out the fuse in card first until I get it right. Then I'll build the acrylic master for molding. If I can get to my computer this weekend I will start some part maps.

You'll want two tank wagons mate. Can't recall the Evening Star but if it is on the list I will confirm it.

Never realised those joins on the piping were kit parts! Also interesting that they rethought the detail on the central band. Some great pics emerging the last few years.

As I said .. I can't confirm it, since I don't have the kit or kitscans ... but the lid from the kit is in that pic... very close to the Narcissus ... so nothing is given ... but I guess it would be worth checking out

It's not listed. That may not rule it out, and I don't have one to check, so I wouldn't disagree.

I have a casting that was made of it. I bet you have seen those before though.

Demoriel ... Thanks for that, I would never have picked the leopold on there. Castings would be great. I was looking over your battlestar pix yesterday to see if anything jumped out. Must be Greeblie heaven around the CR shop.

Does it look more like this one frank? It's the "ALIENS" version.

Thanks! glad i could help. What i can do is gather up what i have from the photos in resin, and let you know via PM/ email pic if your interested? I even might have extra plastic too.

Those Galactica parts ID's are incredible. Sean Corsini put those together in 2008-09, i helped ID just a few of them at the time, but i recognize them all now when i see them.

yep! Its the ALIENS one.

Yes please definitely interested. Many thanks.

Dammit!!!!!!......I knew it. The doner that has the smallest most difficult fidly parts to cast , also happens to be the rarest....... And I need 4 of them......bugger. The Sam 2
( I just loaded the kitscan above). Ain't it always the way.

Edit the green one is the scammel. I'll fix it up.
