THE BETTY (Alien resurrection)

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

Ok heres the start of the Betty model im doing. its roughly 1/3 scale of the original. model. i recently got to work on a new betty and have some great reference to go by for my version.

the engine you see here was started before i got the reference, so some minor tweaks need to be done to bring it up to what the original looks like. I will be making those changes this weekend. this is one of my favorite non star wars ship.

Heres a few pics.

Thanks AL

Not sure if your kidding around, but im pretty sure i have more ref than anyone. Seeing as i got to look at and handle all the original patterns and every photo the studio has.

I like this ship.

Post a good picture or two if you have one.

About three years ago a big project was underway to offer a studio scale version, but it seems to have dried up.

Re: Alien Resurrection. (the Betty)

started reshaping the main engine, it has a more curved look to it now as opposed to the square box shape before. got the basic shape cut out and still refining everything and truing things up in bondo. not finished yet but heres a few pics.

Thanks Al

Super cool! One of my favorite starship designs, and frankly the ONLY good thing in that flik. Looks like you have her well in hand. I'll be following this thread closely. Do you have any plans to cast the final and sell kits? Thank you for posting.

Also its very large and a support structure will be needed which im not going to supply. But will supply a small blue print to help construct it.
