When i first see the Movie i was about 10 years old. I was so impressed from the huge size and the shape of the Nostromo. I tried to built it with Lego bricks and played a lot with the Model i came up with it :-) Man thats long ago....Nice to see that people take care of the Original "Old Lady". The Nostromo is a kick ass Space Ship Design wich is simply awesome :-)
I'm sure the original crew had little to say about how it was stored. Martin Bower has kept many originals he made over the years and is a talented, friendly and accessible guy. If you want to know about the model and who was responsible for it being left out in the elements, just google and email the guy.
This was a fascinating series of videos to watch. I didn't realise it was such a large model, but it goes some way to exlaining how they fitted so much detailing on it. It almost makes me want to go and make out own spaceship from scratch.
Well, the building it's being restored in was where the original IL&M use to be, on the same stage where they blew-up Tie-Fighters and such. So that's pretty cool.

who cares where it's restored. At least it is being done by people who care. That's all that matters.

I agree. :(
But at least its getting done. Hopefully they'll at least send it back home eventually.

Nevermind I just looked up "grant mccune design".
Lol (not so much) @ "...the photos that I guess Martin Bower provided".
The poor baby.

Is this being restored in England or LA?
That didn't look or sound like an English bloke.
I was hoping that propstore got the poor thing far away from LA.
