ALIEN (1979) motion tracker questions

Birdie.....do you have a source for the gully covers or do you plan on making molds of yours?

ALIEN Motion Tracker Found Part Identified

This post is about the tracker seen in ALIEN, not ALIENS and is intended to be a continuation of the great research work that has been done here about this prop, some of which can be found in threads started by Gigatron, Richies Armor and Birdie.



This part seen in these pics that Richie shared with us all:

Appear to have come from this:

See it in action on YouTube here:

And here are shots of the part itself:

Re: ALIEN Motion Tracker Found Part Identified

Cool! So far, it looks good to everyone.

I also found an ice cube tray that is not perfect but is the closest I have found. Shall I post a pic in this thread or in the original one started by Gigatron? I was just sifting through it again for the first time in a while and saw that it has been posted to during the past year. Had I known that it was still semi-active, I would have posted about the scope there.

BTW - a nod also to stephen210 for his great Alien work!

I say ask a mod to merge them. It's always nice to have all the info for a prop in one comprehensive thread.

Re: ALIEN Motion Tracker Found Part Identified

Ahhh, merge. Good idea. I'll let this thread float around here for a couple of days and then make the request.

Sorry to raise hopes on the ice cube tray. I pulled it out and remembered that I had decided it was useless a long time ago. I should have gotten rid of it then. If I had, I wouldn't have been thinking it was close. The problem is obvious. It's a 14 cube tray. What was appealing about it was that it was the first one that I had seen with the cube molds shaped similarly to the original. I thought with a couple of slight modifications, most importantly whacking off two of the molds, I would get away with using it for a pretty close looking piece. Too bad that won't work. (Really too bad because I am sick of years of looking at old ice cube trays.) Even after cutting it down, it would be too large.
