Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

Nice work there Jason.... I like it. T-shirts.... Hmm now there's an idea. Miss piggy underneath and I'm a Narcissist on the back....... The mind boggles. I may have to change the name of the thread to the Narcissus BUILDERS Club.

The kits are in this thread Phil. There's more to come obviously but they are here. If you can post some new pix I'll ID the kitparts for you and gladly repost them here.

There are 45 kits in total so far. Some are multiples so 32 different kits.

I had a busy weekend, but did manage to block out some decals for the back of the Narcissus. Now these are NOT from the miniature, but what was used on the full size set. Most are tiny, really tiny! And as they were not used on the miniature I'm not sure if anyone will use them. But I think I will I used as much text as possible, but most of the small stuff couldn't be read, so I just made up something.

 

[Woodlake]

Nice work Lee. Good luck sticking all those on!

 

[jedimaster]

Excellent.... Seeing as we're all Narcisists... You should print our names on the smaller decals.

 

[Lee S]

Yeh I already put mine on there, can't you see it????
I try to put a '223' on most of the projects I work on, my sons birthday is Feb 23rd, thus 2-23
Hopefully Phil's new pics shed some light on the 'real' decals.

Anyone spot the decals used here? Mostly the Yellow symbol next to the Afrika Korp palm tree and the text below it. Looks like part of the decal was rubbed off.

 

[jedimaster]

I'll go through the donors when I get in mate.

 

[Lee S]

Thanks,
I'm thinking I need to look closer at the decals sheets from kits that were used on the Nostromo too. So far I'm not finding much from the Narc kits I have. If you can scan any of the more unusual kits that would be very handy.

Hi Lee, It's "windscreen wiper control".

 

[healvis]

I just went through my old decal box and found the Palm tree and the symbol to the right of it. The sheet says 1/76 Kubelwagen & sidecar.

 

[Lee S]

Haha thanks! Yeh I would have spotted the WIPER, I was in a rush this morning

Great, that's the palm tree and symbol! I think the actual decal came from the Tamiya 1/35 kit but they are all just slightly different. Plus the decals in the late 70's are almost certainly not the same artwork they use now. I'll take a look at the Kubelwagen!

EDIT: Yeh it's on the 1/35th too, but very slightly different and in white not yellow. Atleast that confirms the shape, I can redraw it from what I have now. Thanks healvis!

 

[Lee S]

Well here's where I'm at. Not final, but ok for now. Thanks to Jason for the JJ logo. My plan is to make 3 versions of the JJ logo as well as a 'handwritten' version of the windscreen marking.

 

[moffeaton]

We getting these made as waterslide decals? Please say yes?

 

[Lee S]

Of course!

 

[moffeaton]

Yessssssss

 

[SKIN JOB 66]

Great work on the decals guys, BRAVO !

(BTW, it just occurred to me that the palm tree looked a little like a Nazi fachugger !!!)

:confused

Looking good, Lee. And nice Josie, Jason. I think Narcissus E1 could be 'handwritten' too, though at that size it probably won't be noticeable anyway.

Have you checked the Airfix 1/72 Me 109 for the Eagle? I have it but can't access it atm.

Craig

 

[Lee S]

Yeh it was handwritten and I'll certainly do that version too.
It seems the Eagle is from an ESCI 1/72nd Bf109, working on getting one now.

and thanks Fred, now all I see are Nazi Facehuggers!
