Evening ladies & gents. Brand new user here and as such I don't really know what I'm doing yet. I presume the only way I'll know if I've done this right is if someone comments? I will only add two pics until I know whether this has worked.
Before I start posting pics, another member informed me a short while ago that someone has posted some of my pics on here without my knowledge or permission, so whoever it was please remove them. It is courteous to ask first.
Anyway, about 30 years ago I scratch-built models of some of the interior sets of the Nostromo from the original Alien movie. As VHS pausing technology was pretty awful in the early 80s, I was only able to construct the basic passageways & compartments, much of the detailing had to be left until video pausing technology had improved, and the final details were added with the advent of DVDs allowing stable paused images.
These models are not built to any particular scale, the passageways are about four inches high. I tried to replicate the lighting levels of the movie, and as such many of the pics are by neccesity quite dark, so the best time to view them will be after sunset, when ambient light levels are lower.
These first two images are from the opening sequence of the movie, and are of the engineering, or C Deck. I apologise in advance for the first one being slightly blurred, this was due to having to hand-hold the camera very close to the model.
