NOSTROMO-MOTHER-CHAMBER-26
Build update on the 1:18 scaled MU/TH/UR 6000 chamber - ALIEN 79. So here is the nightmare I have created for myself. You can see a small example of the detail that has been added so far....but also the amount of detail that remains to be applied. I'm not discouraged, not in the least...I've come this far, not going to let a bunch of little squares hold back what will be a pretty awesome piece when complete. I do however get exhausted looking at it. Just going to tackle a little at a time between other projects. Note that this is a handmade piece...I'm not using laser cutting tech or 3D printing assistance. It was suggested that I make one panel of each piece, then mold the lot and cast them. A great idea but as I said, this is a hand made piece. Each wall panel may be slightly different from the next one...and a slight difference can make fitting a cast piece very difficult. May take longer, but one small panel at a time is the only way to go right now. Again, not discouraged....I've seen more detail applied to models much more complex than this. Keep my mind on the final outcome....Next week however, I'm going to be leaving the Nostromo for a shot term and heading back to figures sculpting...I have been bitten by the sculpting bug. #alien #nostromo #MUTHUR6000 #diorama #scratchbuilding #weylandyutani
