Kit Parts ID help - Alien Nostromo Flamethrower

[MonsterFX]

I've now ID'ed nearly every thing i'm looking for. I'm exc.luding the probe section. Some of them I spotted from kits already identified. If anyone wants an updated part map, let me know.. They are virtually all from Martin Bower's near mythical Narcissus kit collection.

Here are the parts I'm still haven't found:

From the other side:

This part (or two parts) are mounted on half a Triang Pier riser, two complete ones are mounted further back. Looks kinda like some kind of snap-lock part.

I've been working on a child size flame thrower when I figured out the source of the front part and I feel like silly goose for not realizing it earlier.

It's made of 2 triang pier riser tops, flipped over and cut in half. I recently got a big bag of triang pier riser parts(the bases, the riser pieces and the tops) it wasn't until I spilled the bag of "useless" riser parts that I realize the necessary pieces have been sitting on my workshop for weeks.

I'm not sure what the circular part is because it's something separate. But here is a picture of the riser tops.

Also, do we know what the ridges are that look like brass? They look like spacers from a brass stencil set but I could be completely wrong.

The red one is very likely a 0.38 liter 200 bar steel cylinder from a Fenzy bouyancy compensator vest, the white one looks similar. In the seventies and eighties these were used a lot, they were filled with air from regular scuba tanks.

The tanks definitely seem to be fenzy bouyancy tanks. I bought one on a whim because I was hoping it was the right size and seems like it's exact.

Seems like it is

I actually figured that out back when this thread was active, after turning one upside down that I got with another triang part! I think there were a few other bits and bobs that I found and didn't get around to detailing here. I've got all of the kits now, but I took a year off from building to do other things. A build is definately on the cards for this year

I'm happy I found this thread. Everyone sourcing this stuff is incredibly helpful. I can't wait to see your build if you post it.

My child sized flame thrower is a project for a xenomorph related toy I'm making but basically a test run for the full sized version I'm hoping to work on later this year.

Was anypne successful in IDing these parts?

Ive found what the bottom left red circle is but im unable to identify the rest (missing quite a few parts still but slowly working on it)

The part you circled on the bail bottle is from the Airfix Vosper Motor Torpedo Boat.

Im assumimg its the 1:72 scale model yes? If so thats the bottle section done but now it leaves these 3 components left to go for the full build to be found

Yeah, that's where I'm at, too. It's possible the part with the two circles with a recessed rectangle in between is on backwards, which would make it harder to ID. The part on the underside isn't clear enough to get an ID, and the detail on that area differs from prop to prop. I have most of the full kits, but haven't had a chance to go through them yet, something else may reveal itself. I should be back on this in September, so it may be back to kit scan analysis to try and find the missing bits.

Edit: It is the 1/72, yes.

Well the part underneath is 2 parts from the Mörser Karl and a box from the Schwerer Panzerspahwagen kit so it could be the other 3 bits are from something in those kits but looking at the rear of the incinerator it seems like that peice could be a modified hornby rail peice

But the last 2 front parts seem to be some sort of slotted base and a pipe slot for something

But i have also determined the mesh grating is from the tie fighter wings

 

[Birdie]

I haven't done any work on this for 2 years, so forgive me if I've forgotten some of the stuff that's already been found

Defiinitely a bridge part underneath, as mentioned different props had different details there. Good catch on the Tie, I hadn't even considered that. Did you make the parts in the first pic?

I seem to recall I also didn't find this part (Coloured):

Are the Leopold barrels to use as the probe? I've always understood it was spare probe from the Nostromo / refinery and was turned from a combination of brass and ema tube.

That part is the long detail section from the Mörser Karl and a part from the MPC Darth Vader Tie Fighter

 

[Church]

Well after careful looking these peices seem more abundant on the incinerator

The first photo is from the 8rad near the rear of the incinerator on the left side and the second is from the tie fighter near the Mörser Karl wheel peice

 

[Church]

Ok heres the parts ive found so far (ive added a few extras for my personal touch)

Red: Hasegawa 1/72 Leopold
Yellow: Hasegawa 1/72 Morser Karl
Orange: Schwerer Panzerspahwagen 8rad 1:35
Cyan: MPC Darth Vader Tie Fighter
Blue: Saturn V Rocket 1:144
Dark Blue: Revell Mirage III 1/72
Black: ERTL 1/25 International Pay-hauler 350
White: Hornby & Tri-ang incline peirs
Brown: Airfix motor torpedo boat 1:72

Still missing the Tamiya Tyrell but after that its just 2 other peices im unable to identify as the first red circled peice was the underside of the hornby incline peir

 

[Church]

Made a minor goof on the last photo

 

[joberg]

Excellent detective work you guys

 

[Church]

Well ive finally decided to have the remaining 2 peiced 3d printed out so those are the only parts ive been unable to find

But i have started work on the internal plumbing for the working incinerator unit so theres that

Wow...is your job working as a heating/vac specialist

Actually no its contract security

A bunch of asking around hydraulic and hydroponic engineers works wonders but finding the right scuba gear to work with in between is also a must
