Outstanding model 👌
Wow, that looks amazing! I want one! Nice work, Boyd!
R.I.P. John Hurt
R.I.P Harry Dean Stanton and Sir Ian Holm
Absolutely perfect, love the damage to the landing foot, true to the movie, awesome
Thanks man!
Super cool base and ship! Thank you for sharing your tips!
This would make for an awesome lizard habitat. Incredible work
Outstanding! Even down to the tweaked landing gear - love it! Thanks for sharing this!
Your work is impeccable as always.
Man that's a beautiful build. So happy you did this.
Beautiful work, Boyd!
Very nice diorama Boyd. Like the slide show music also! Thanks!
Awesome work buddy & cant wait to see the final reveal.
Looks great in its resting place Boyd. Super Job.
Nice job. Well done, looks fantastic.
I love that so much excellent job Boyd!
Looks awesome.
Very nice work! Halcyon did some amazing kits.
Wish I would have gotten that Nostromo back in the day.
Spectacular!!!
That came out sweet Boyd.
Nicely done Boyd! Everything looks spot on from the movie. I've used the Scene-A-Rama base before on my dioramas and had to stiffen it from underneath to take out the curve. John Hurt will be missed. Great actor.
Thanks Mike, Yeah I wanted to buy all the scene a rama stuff they had lol!
Man, I love that base Boyd! The whole thing really. Great idea using Bondo for the landscape!!
Thanks Kenny, the things you can do with good old bondo lol.
Agreed! Yeah, I used to use it to make parts before I started molding and casting way!
That looks really awesome!
Thanks Kenny, it was a really great kit to work on and I'm glad my lighting ideas worked out. I should get the effects board soon and get that put in.
that will look really nice
Nicely done. The materials you used really sell it.
Ohh. Very cool diorama!!! I also build the nostromo. :-)
I bolive the work that you do is osom I enjoy looking at it and hopefully som day I can provide something like that good blessed
You're wright Boyd the ship is super cool looking!!!!
Thanks buddy, it will really pop with that control board working the lights.
........................................Dam that is so AWESOME!..........Those rocks caused the HULL BREACH when they landed...NICE job Boyd!.........Frank-....
Thanks Frank!
Real nice Boyd. Somehow, the rocks provide a good sense of scale.
Thanks Jeff!
I like the display philosophy. But then not so sure about a backdrop-- evaluate when assembled! Nice etched rocky look. The ship looks pretty good too!
About the model itself --
It's nice, very good detail.
Unfortunate part about this build is that you probably see more of the ship in this diorama than you ever saw in the movie itself!
It's a very good industrial... About how you could expect a spacecraft to be designed by a corporation. It's not a very homey-looking ship... You know this thing is built do things like mining, "corporate exploration" like an oil platform rig and its camera systems.
Things do get discovered by companies involved with exploration for mineral resources on land and underwater...
I mean how many videos on RUclips along are from oil rigs or exploratory vessels commissioned by big companies?
There's definitely a parallel there with the Alien movies in some senses.
The difference is that the big companies haven't quite gotten into the notion of manned let alone robotic space exploration.
Sensacional !
WOW!!!
nice work Boyd hope you read the comment I posted on Google+ about using Ripleys final Report with your sound effects circuit .
Spectacular work! Your piece could be used for filming imho.
As I recall from the special features the original lower lighting for the filming model was a complicated arrangement of neon in precision shapes, but Ridley Scott vetoed it (he was a brutal visionary, including attacking highly detailed models with a chisel) so the lighting we ended up with was actually just a few strings of hanging bulbs, hence the curiously 'wavey' placement. And now model makers the world over try to recreate it, funny how things turn out sometimes, eh?
she came out freakin awesome Boyd! super job!
Thanks my friend.
Try to think of the terrain of the Planetoid as being molten lava being cooled by the harsh winds to create the bumpy longish bony landscape.
I hate to dampen your day, everybody, but it was just announced that actor John Hurt, died this past Wednesday, January 25th.
He had been suffering from pancreatic cancer for some time. His diagnosis was announced in 2015 and he continued to work through his pain and treatments. He was working on several unreleased film projects when he passed away.
IF you ever watched the original Alien (1979), he played the first Nostromo victim to fall to the alien xenophobes when a creature burst from his chest while he was eating a meal with his crewmates.
He later parodied this scene in an a galactic diner in Mel Brooks' sci-fi spoof, Spaceballs (1987).
He was a fantastic actor even if he didn't generally play the lead in many of the films of his that we all watched.
One of his last significant roles was playing an alternate version of the iconic Doctor character in a Doctor Who feature-length special that celebrated the 50th anniversary of that series. In total, four actors who have played the Doctor over the years (David Tennant, Matt Smith, Tom Baker, AND John Hurt) appeared in that special in significant scenes or through the majority of the length of the film. Hurt also portrayed his "War Doctor" in a special mini-episode that aired on web first and was later released on DVD and Blu ray home video editions of the 50th anniversary Dr. Who special, "The Day of the Doctor" (2013).
I'm NOT a huge Doctor Who fan myself but I really like this special and I highly recommend it to fans of the 10th and 11th Doctors as well as John Hurt fans. I felt it was fairly well-written and acted for a Doctor Who special given how "specialized" (ie, confusing and weirdly humorous) the writing on the Doctor Who series can get. It's also a very nice special for people who were fans of the Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker, who does make a special appearance in this episode but I WON'T say how or WHEN he appears in this film... It runs 77 minutes total.
P.S. -- I typed my response BEFORE I heard you announce it in the video, Boyd.
Still, I hope my response gives me people an idea of Hurt's career.
He was in movies for over 40 years. To me, the earliest significant film he appeared in WAS the original Alien (1979) which to my way of thinking is still the best film in that series.
(I'm one of the fans who feels the series had diminishing returns from then on but that's my opinion. The first film is excellent and still holds up well; it's as much horror to me as it is science fiction. I'm aware a lot of people love Aliens but it's really not the type of film I like to sit through. I've seen bits of pieces of Alien3 but none of the other films or crossovers with the Predator series.)
For most of us, we know him from the original Alien movie or Harry Potter series but he's done so much more than that. Besides the cameo in Spaceballs that I pointed out, he was in the fourth Indiana Jones playing Oxley, the friend to Indy and the mentor-father figure to Indy's son, AND he was in the movie 1984, the adaptation of George Orwell's novel.
The last significant film I saw in him was the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special. I don't know how many films he appeared in that are in post-production, but I would imagine we can expect to see him in at 3-4 more films posthumously.
와우~♡
nice
You nicked my idea with the Bondo! LOL,been using it for ages on diorama builds,you have done a super job with that base it really gives the ship life and a sense of scale,que the dim lighting and smoke machine,i picked up the Exec officer Kane kit just before Christmas i am itching to start building it,but i am considering recasting the egg as it,s not transparent enough to see the face hugger inside.
Lee I took a dremel tool to the inside of the egg and made the whole thing thinner and then applied some clear coat on the sanding scratches and that did the trick. You can see through it like glass now.
TrekWorks Great minds think alike ! That,s what i was going to try before considering a recast option,glad it worked out Boyd,also i was thinking of adding a RGB led in the bottom of the egg to give the impression of movement of the face hugger,just not had time yet.
Wow! Simply amazing! Where in the world are you going to find the room to display this beast??? Haha!
I managed to squeak in a spot for it but things are getting pretty crowed on the old shelves.
Nice!! Lava rock would have worked too.
Yep it sure would have. I just used the styrofoam cause I had it here and I wanted to try the melting effect to see if it would work out.
Hi Boyd....I was lucky to get one of these off evil bay for about $300 less then they go for! the kit says you can not use enamel paints...What did you use... Thank You Boyd
Awesome all the way around! Are those bases sturdy? I'm used to using wood bases and I like the idea of a lightweight hollow base... I really enjoy your channel and work!
It is a little flimsy in the middle of the top. It got better when I glued my slab of bondo over it. Might want to do a little re reinforcing if you are going to mount something heavy on it.
so how do you do the fiber optic lighting do you leave the whiskers long and finish the paint the cut them off or is there a trick to mask them off?
perhaps I missed it- how did you come up with the floodlights on the underside? I haven't been able to find any reference material on how to set them up...
Hi Boyd, did you ever get the updated electronics for this to complete it the way you had planned?
Add some figures to give an ideal of size? Other than that another great build!
I checked out some figures for this and at 1/960 scale they are about the size of a pin head so I didn't think it would add much to it. If they were a little bigger I wanted to light their helmets.
P.S. Hi Kenny!!
Would be great if you could get somebody to 3D print some in-scale.figures in space suits for the diorama.
I looked at doing some figures for this and at 1/960 scale they are about the size of a pinhead so I didn't think it would add much to it. I wanted to put the little lights on the helmets but it's just too small of scale.
Wow! If I did the math right, that's 1 inch = 80 feet. Those are some damn big engines. No wonder they have to,tow an oil refinery around with them!
Yep, this ship is all engine!
Model Base is too small
