Every time I look at that pyro on my desk I think of you, Simon - really! Just too damn busy with work, then always knackered to do hard, scary stuff like extending pyro noses of an evening... but I WILL get back in the saddle.
But this Narc is amazing. I once had my mitts on the original Aliens version of the model, in pretty weird circumstances. In Piccadilly, London, about 15 - 20 years ago there used to be this Aliens experience thing. The punters would get taken to the basement and get chased around by dudes in Alien suits. At the street entrance, they had this tiny prop exhibit, which just sat there for years. You could go in there for free and there'd be nobody, no guard, nothing. They had hypersleep caskets, a couple of suits, a gun or two in tall display cases. On the top of one of the cases, which was a man's height, I saw some object sticking over the edge. Reached up and pulled it out a bit - and **** me, it was a Narcissus studio model. Loads of the styrene panels were warping off it. I thought, '*****, does anyone even want this?' The thing had just been left to rot on top of this display case, unguarded...but I was a good boy and put it back.

An amazing piece of engineering? Or an ugly piece of junk with a twisted spine and a large crooked nose?
Ahhh.... the trocadero..... memories. Hey the next time you find stuff like that.. Grab it and run... Run and don't stop... K?

Ha ha.. oh, the former, naturally.
The Trocadero. Yes! Completely forgot the name of the place. It's been too long since I was in that town...

Hey kids!
Question for anyone currently collecting kit parts for a Narcissus build.
Two of the kits needed only require ONE piece from each kit, but the kits contain TWO pieces. One is the tough to find Airfix SRN1 and the other is the fairly easy MPC R2. I have a SRN1 kit already and thus an extra piece. Does anyone have an R2 and want to swap parts?

Ok... So forgive me if we have already id'd any of these but as far as I can see we only need these parts for the underside well. If anyone knows these please chime in.
I've got an R2 somewhere, Lee, I'll have a look. But Simon will probably have a better one, mine is half built IIRC.
Just got my magnets FINALLY, yesterday. Pro tip, don't cut your magnet recesses before they arrive, you won't get a good fit; these are supposed to be 10mm x 3mm but are more like 9mm x 2mm. Oh well, plenty strong enough. Will finish up the hatch/hull section tomorrow and put the sheeting on. I knew that if I tried it before then I'd drop that section and smash it, lol.
Simon, did you get that replacement sheet cut? I can just make my own bits but if you have it, might as well use it.

Knew I had it... Dammit. I've got an r2 foot for ya. You'll have to trim it though.

And the left looks like a trimmed down piece from the air fix lunar module but I can't be sure.
