NARCISSUS128
9.8 Build update on the Narcissus Shuttle Interior - ALIEN (1979) - 1:18 Scale.
Began building the front piloting stations to the shuttle, as well as continuing my sculpt build for the duct work that drapes along the forward, port side of the craft’s interior.
Much of what you see is the framework of the build. Seam filling and detail come later. I do add detail (like the duct work) when able but for the most part, the detail will come later.
I’m trying to visualize how the front viewports will work….the build, depth and angle.
I INTEND to eventually build a cover for the interior which will be the Narcissus exterior…A shell of the top portion of the shuttle. That or some sort of ornate exterior to bring the interior and exterior of the diorama together. Currently the assembled diorama measures 24” wide by 28” long and takes up half the table space of my drafting table. Fortunately it’s extremely modular so it can be broken down and stored away.
I’ve been using the book ALIEN: The Blueprints (by Graham J. Langridge) as my guide for the build as of late. Most of the initial build was based solely on the production set images I was able to gather. In the book, I noticed that a bathroom exists in the rear, starboard storage/utility room. Because I didn’t pick that detail up till late, all I can do is add a faux access door that would lead to it.
Having fun with the build but have some figures and other build projects that need some attention. Also thinking about doing a couple diorama pieces from the new Alien: Romulus film. This past week there has been a flood of concept and creative images released related to the film and it is beyond inspirational! I can’t help but want to build something from it.
More to come this week! Have a great one, be safe and thanks for checking out the latest update!
