I bought the Burger King glasses because there are the only - fractional - blueprints of the ship, so far as I know. Then I make a "frottage" of it to get on paper. Don´t know an english word for this method - it means to rub a smoth graphit pen over a paper to get details from a relief. After scanning I draw a Vector blueprint in Illustrator. This is used for the proportions and size comparsion of the elements. Also to build a rough 3d model of the head in Cinema4D to get the shape of the ribs.
For the more details I work on screenshot from the movie.

In English we call that 'a rubbing'. Some people go to churches and make 'brass rubbings'.

Very clever of you to do that. The ship is looking great!

Finished the mechanical parts. Here´s a little test of fitting and function:

Wow! This is looking great.

Inspiring to see what one might achieve with lots of practice in this area.

Simply amazing.
