Five years ago, I scratch built a City Destroyer.

This time I try to build the Alien Mothership.
There is almost no data about the Mothership, and even in the movie, the details were unclear. So it's difficult to scratch build.

Very nice.
Have always loved the unique designs of the ships from this film.
Its like stained glass windows, but gray, yet still looks so good.

Would be interested in seeing what you come up with for the Mothership though. Very good work!
 
I remembered that a friend gave me the making of book that I should still have in the closet.
I can see if maybe it has any good behind the scenes pics that could possibly help.
 
Looked in the book I have, just incase...but the only photo they have of the mother ship behind the scenes, is the one you posted with it flipped in the workshop with guys around it.
A bit sad that there aren't more photos.

Thanks for checking it out, and as you say, there are very few prop references for the Mothership on the internet.
 
The level of detail on these is insane.

I remembered wrong regarding the auctions. They were all city destroyers.

Are you gonna tackle the Stargate Ra pyramid ship too?

thank you.

I really like RA's pyramid. I thought it would be quite difficult to reproduce the hieroglyphs on the surface of the pyramid, but I recently learned that Master Replica would be releasing a highly detailed replica, so I immediately pre-ordered it.
