Halcyon Models Nostromo 1:960 build

Followed this thread from beginning. No small effort extended with all the internal drilling & lighting, modifications, display etc. Great job on an iconic ship.

Yes, very nice built! I also like the painting a lot, especially the landing feed. Never noticed they were orange. The rusty tones in the weathering give me real feelings of appearance in the movie. Well done! Thanks for sharing.

That could be a filing model!

colors and weathering are perfect

Just now catching back up to this… The details you’ve added really level up the whole build, and the paint/weathering job is subtle and looks like the larger filming miniature.

I couldn't agree with myself about the plaque design, so I imagined what a registration certificate would look like for one of these ships instead.
Have to admit I'm very pleased with this piece.

I think the build is on the final stretch. Stay tuned, healthy and model hard!
Thanks for looking.

Love this sheet! And the stamp!

This is super amazing. Did you buy a kit from somewhere? The level of detail you have put into this is just so impressive. Seeing work like this is very inspiring.

Looked at your thread again. I have a fetish for landing gear. Nice work & great weathering job.

Here's my Nostromo landing gear (same studio scale)...just for you Searun

joberg,
Holy Crap Batman ! I had to sit down. Aircraft legs get me excited.

The landing gear scene in Alien was beautifully done (along with so many other details) and your model does credit to artists that built the original. Many thanks.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your help with reference photos via thenostromofiles. Those were a great resource!
And that stamp caused me some headache before figuring out how to make it look like a stamp. Thinking about it now, I have no memory of how I did that..

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, its a kit that was produced by a UK company called Halcyon Models (1986-1995).
I added very little detail in terms of greeblies, only the antennas, the docking mechanism for the refinery and the transparent bridge. The paintjob took some doing though.

Thank you Searun. joberg certainly scratched that itch for you!

You should install some lights in that gem joberg !
