jargonking Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Here's the Halcyon Narcissus Shuttle as seen in Alien/Aliens. I cut out the rather basic cockpit and replaced it with some scratchbuilt seats and consoles. The blanking plate in the rear door was removed to allow a view through the ship and a very rudimentary interior was added...basically just plastic shapes as the windows are tinted and you can't see an awful lot. Brass tubing was added to the nose to correct the poorly moulded front escape engines. I added a little detail to the underside of the engine pods and replaced the belly panel with a scratchbuilt representation of what I presume are vertical lift engines. The kit stand was replaced with a brass rod and a scratchbuilt base which uses a nameplate cut from the kit box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glazy Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) Really nice work on this, always thought the Narcissus was a neat little ship. Nice article on Martin Bower's site where he builds some landing gear for his replica shuttle !! http://www.martinbowersmodelworld.com/html/narcissus.html Edited January 14, 2008 by Glazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
