Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

Love to vague in an ID thead eh Martyn, priceless :lol.

Lee, I know, I know. If I could verify MB published the info himself then I'd just blab, otherwise I'll consider myself bound by what I signed. (I remember being all chagrined to see it posted, but maybe I dreamt it.) :lol But Simon's local, and a mate. I can't stop him from noticing how my stash is stored. :)

I can say this one's not so hard - many repeats on it, and not as many separate kits as you'd think.

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

Holy crud, those are new to me, thanks!

OK so listing off what we know from existing IDs, photos of the original and from MB's replica builds:

Tamiya Centurion 1/25 x 2
Tamiya Tyrell 1/12 x 2
Tamiya Tyrell 1/20 x 1
Airfix Vosper MTB x 2
Airfix Esso Tanker x 2
Tamiya 1/35 M16
Tamiya 1/35 Schwere x a stupid number
Tamiya 1/35 Leichter x another stupid number
Revell Gemini (just the pilot)

Martin tells us there are 27 kits needed, so that leaves 18 kits to find.

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

I have to say if I had the time I'd love to build this, its a grail in my mind more so than some SW stuff, great work on starting it.

I'll be watching this one :love

Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

Martyn I see what you mean about that angle.

Yeh man, there's several mistakes people make commonly with this ship. Most common one one is to make the front half too short overall. Next most common is to give it a dip between the front upper hull and the nose. It is almost dead flat in profile.
 
Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

Does anyone have a good clear pic of the modified "Joltin Josie" logo? I believe it says "Miss Piggy" now. I have a couple but not super clear.
 
Re: NARCISSUS Part id help

Thanks,
Yeh that's the one I have, from Phil Rae. Like so many pics, if it was 'just a little closer' I'd be able to make out the text :)
I did find this kit (horrible looking) someone is selling ALIEN/S Studio Scale Narcissus  - Narcissus Studio Scale - DreamScheme Studios and they have made the modified decal, using the name 'Margaret Oris' but I've no idea what's really there.

I should try emailing Phil again...
