Build update on the Nostromo - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Sorry for the delay - been a very busy week or so away from the custom world. Began building the framework for the MU-TH-UR 6000 chamber or "Mother" as I will call if from this point on. Also working on the portal between the chamber and the corridor that connects to it. Will be breaking out the Aves Epoxy to sculpt the padding around the door frame as well as the interior of the frame. The build for the chamber itself will be a slow process - I do intend and making it LED friendly so no worries to those that are curious. My concern currently are the details that will be going into each of the panels at this scale. hope you enjoy! More updates to come! ‪#‎alien‬ ‪#‎nostromo‬ ‪#‎mother‬ ‪#‎MUTHUR6000‬ ‪#‎computer‬ ‪#‎weylandyutani‬ ‪#‎weyland‬ ‪#‎diorama‬ ‪#‎scratchbuilding‬

Per the video I posted early this morning here is an image of the three detailed panels for the MU/TH/UR 6000 chamber - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Pieces aren't 100% cleaned up yet - need some sanding/filling. Began framing the remaining 4 panels today. I want so bad to get back to figure sculpting - wish I never began this project knowing that it would take time to get to the completion point I'd want to achieve which is detailing the interior....but here I am. I'm not regretting anything - I'll be happy to have this step out of the way in the long run.

I estimate another week or so with my work schedule the way it is before the remaining walls are complete. THEN, back to figure sculpting...I have some new ideas and some old sculpts to return to the workbench. <3 #alien #nostromo #MUTHUR6000 #diorama #scratchbuilding #weylandyutani

Build update on the MU/TH/UR 6000 "Mother" security corridor - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Sometimes the build requires creating pieces not seen and are made to simply give stability and bring together various parts of a diorama. Although the ceiling of the security corridor contains some detail, the main build of the frame's purpose is to plug in and hold the walls together. Nothing really fancy to show and I haven't added the ribbed detailing but hopefully you can see the progress I'm talking about. I've also included and exterior of the build from the MU/TH/UR entrance from the bridge, leading to the computer's chamber or "womb" as Sir Ridley Scott liked to call it. Looks a little similar to the actual stage build. I plan to create a nice "shell" that will cover this exterior build which will resemble the exterior of he ship and give that much more stability to the diorama. More to come! #alien #nostromo #MUTHUR6000 #diorama #scratchbuilding #diorama #corridors

Build update on the MU/TH/UR 6000 "MOTHER" Chamber for the Nostromo - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Rough images but they show the interior frame build (walls) is complete and I'm beginning to work on the ceiling. The flower-like design will be attached to clear acrylic so natural light can pass through. The ceiling you see in this image will drop much further down. More to come! :) ‪#‎alien‬ ‪#‎nostromo‬ ‪#‎MUTHUR6000‬ ‪#‎scratchbuild‬ ‪#‎modelbuild‬ ‪#‎diorama‬
