doogster Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 As promised, here's the USCSS Nostromo as it comes out of the box: The second pic is the parts, the bag contains smaller parts such as the flaps that surround the engine bells, the probes and landing gear are in the box (not shown) attached to a bunch of flash. The first pic shows the rough orientation of the major parts: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 As often as I've watched "Alien" I could never get a really good look at the Nostromo. Thanks, Andrew. I can't wait to see the way it goes together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Andrew, Thank you for the pictures and I can't wait to see it painted!

doogster Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 Thanks for the feedback. Found the zinc primer, not decided if I'm going to go that way. Think I might find a similar colour in acrylic, it thins down great with Future (it does have to be Future) (Klear) which I'm used to spraying, and quite frankly once you've gone airbrush there aint no going back. And this should be panel detailed, as in panels of different tints and tones of gray all over, and extensive but subtle, weathering. Lots to do before painting, Mr Clean will be on the job soon, get any mold release off, then sanding down seams, a little mold mismatch on some of the solid parts. Overall impressed with the kit. Here's the thing from the front, BTW, the 1-2-3- box the fuse is sitting on is too tall, the engines will be more in line. For some reason the board won't let me attach the photo. I tried 4 times.
