The Nostromo: A Restoration Project

[BAlinger15]

Hi all,

As pointed out above, we have now added the second video of the Nostromo restoration project, covering phase two of the project. The video can be found here:

Phase 2 of the project involved replicating missing components that we had an original example of. Many parts repeat themselves throughout the model, and we were able to create completely accurate replacements for the missing ones by molding the remaining original components. For example, we only had one of the three booster assemblies on the back of the ship, and created the other two by molding the small "flower" details, as seen in the video.

We hope that everyone enjoys the videos tracking the restoration, and look forward to being able to present more in the future.

Best,
Brandon

You guys need to sell some replica Landing Gears. Those look awesome.

Just an impressive project all around.

Bad link.

Why post a link to a video then remove the video?

 

[CessnaDriver]

I don't know why they did that.

But they reposted it.....

This was an interesting project to watch on the videos. Hopefully more will be made of this fantastic project and it won't fade away into obscurity...?

That was awesome. It looks so different when it's not in space. LOL

It's fantastic to see such a great, great prop saved, and amazing that you were able to do it after twenty years of abuse by Mother Nature. Kudos!
