discussion alien derelict ship scratch build

[Guest]

Hello everyone,


                        well here is my latest little big scratch build if you see what I mean, in the film alien they said that no one can hear you scream well on earth when doing a scratch build every one can here you scream as you try to get the model together.


here are the results of my labour I hope that you will like it and give me your honest comments which will allow me to go on to make better models in the future. The model will soon be on display in TRANSPORT MODELS OF PRESTON LANCASHIRE if you can drop in and see the real thing as it were.


regards Barrie ( the old guy )

This is good stuff, a complex and biomorphic form, made from flat stock is no easy thing, but you have rendered this beautifully. The more I look at it, the more incredible it seems! Well done that man.

Thats Amazing Barrie ! Its a brilliant recreation of the ship even more astounding when you consider its all scratch built!  How big is it? cheers tony

Thank you guys for your kind comments, as for how big is it, well approx two feet wide and three feet long and the thickest part being about 10 inches deep, but here are a couple of images which give the game away,

Excellent work so far on a unique and ominous subject. Am a big fan of Gigers work and will be watching. Bravo for taking on a replica of the Alien ship from the movie of the same name. Gigers work is phenomenal and not just his "Alien" series of works..............Jim
