Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

Yeah those two L'il square pieces in between the jack and the shuttle pieces look exactly like Vosper pieces on the pic I used. I know the vosper ones were used on the cockpit. Just got the Tamiya Chevrolet truck in today so stay tuned for some more parts. Also found where the esso tanker was used on the interior. Woohoo!!!

Muahaha .. I have that Chevrolet Truck in my stash ... I now a couple of armor-guys who would kill me, when they learn that I've "slaugthered" the kit :lol

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

I'll do my best. But may not be till Saturday night. My youngest boy is going in for surgery tomorrow so I'll be spending the night in hospital.

Crap, man, is he okay?

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

Sorry to hear that Simon. Hope its not too serious.

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

He has a cyst growth in his ear which has to be removed. There is a chance he may have some hearing loss in this ear but it's not cancerous so I guess he is lucky. Still gotta come out.

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

Oh no hurry/worries, take care of him first!

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

Thanks Guy's, he's a pretty tough kid. He was born with a Bi Lateral Cleft Lip and Palet and has had a few surgeries To correct all that . To look at him you wouldnt know he had them. Now it's his ears internally which is not uncommon with Cleft babies. He'll be fine. I may be dribbling **** on here a bit but he'll be fine.

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

I know what he has/is going through - I was born with a cleft lip and palat too. Best wishes for tommorow.

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

Fingers crossed for your son ! (mine had surgery a year ago, I understand your state of mind right now)





...And as promised, Narc pics showing interesting details (such as the nostrils interiors), at least to my sore eyes (the part between the front thrusters differs on the full model and the forced perspective / docked one... My pics show the full model) :

Hope it'll help !

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

more, this time of the replica made by Martin Bower that's part of the sciencefictionarchives collection (please note that MISS PIGGY is written on both sides of the cockpit) :

 

[jedimaster]

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

Thanks Fred great shots. Phil Rae mentions the lighting on the Eagle transporter thread. He said the interior bulb melted som of the cockpit. If you look at the cockpit shots at the begining of this thread you can see a melted Sam 2 part/ console in front of the pilot.

That Ariel view on the toolbox gives us an excellent shot of the kitparts either side of the E1. Also shows the miss piggy decal on both sides.

 

[Lee S]

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

Wow Fred that shot on the tool box is seriously useful!
I see what you are seeing inside the nose, but no idea what it is, maybe a light bulb?
As for inbetween the nose, it looks like Hasegawa Leopold pieces to me, but it's hard to make out.

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

So the big question I've had for a LONG time is the change in the nose artwork and which came first. The Joltin Joise decal can be seen in different pics with the name NARCISSUS E1 hand written over it and with what appears to be that painted over and the MISS PIGGY in red added to the side. It would seem that Miss Piggy came after as you can't see any signs of the red text having been removed, and the blue/black paint over the Narcissus E1.

But Martins replica is of the other version...?
And even if the MISS PIGGY was added after, why paint over the Narcissus E1?
