Build progress on The Narcissus Shuttle "The Stowaway" - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Been busy working on some major adjustments to the shuttle wall that contains the beast...but first I...
- Completed the corrugated design of the upper wall.
- Finished adding the base to the wall.
Once that was completed I discovered the wall was extremely too tall in relation to the 1:18 scale "Lucky Star" Ripley figure. The "cubbyhole" the alien fits into was to too open height wise. So I went back and literally cut the wall in half down the middle horizontally and removed three quarters of an inch from the top section. Then brought to two parts back together and patched it.
Even though the height of the wall is still about .125" too high in my opinion, it's acceptable now. Working on the separate console having to make adjustments to the height of the piece to mach the newly scaled wall panel - may just rebuilt the console from scratch.
The "cubbyhole" for the alien is on target height wise now smile emoticon Began adding pipes(styrene rods) within the compartment. The alien will be removable but only from the back of the wall build through a detachable panel held by magnets. More actual build images will come soon.
Both the centerpiece tower and wall panel are close to having the smaller details added. May consider building the other wall panel opposite this one to keep the job at an equal progression. More to come!.....#alien #nostromo #narcissus #shuttle #stowaway #ripley #luckystar #diorama
