These idiots did not even get the docking tube on straight... where are the interlock flaps? Looks like a 5 year old put it back together. These guys ruined it.
...please god dont let the Alien "prequel" suck like Ep.1 the phantom menace!...please please please...also can you make sure they dont use alot of fake looking CGI?...thanks god i owe you one :)
They left a Sci-Fi treasure that goes right up there with the Millennium Falcon and the USS Enterprise outside for 20 years?! If I saw that thing I would've stolen it.
The film is still the benchmark. I always thought it was a sci fi AND a horror movie. The Nostromo on screen was so awesome. It was also almost like this big dark haunted house. Glad these fellows are trying to restore it. Ridley Scott's best movie.
Wow... that's quite a task. Found this vid thanks to Dennis Lowe's documentary on the model makers of the original ALIEN. I can't wait to see this finished.
What a Job! thank you Jack & Monty. Guys I really appreciate this magnificent effort you're putting in the benefit of we all sci-fi fans around the world, for the NOSTROMO!!!, a piece of history for all ALIEN fans... thank you for letting us know this is happening, when and where do you plan to exhibit this spaceship?, certainly you don't want to store it away for another 30 years without cheers,. Best.
Never imagined one of SF cinema's most famous spaceships would get this treatment. I'll be watching and encouraging from a distance! Maybe this will revive interest and drive R. Scott to come through with his Alien pre-quel hinted at from time to time. And maybe a nice model kit!
OMG! I am so happy to see this finally getting off the ground. And I can see you guys are doing the best job possible by bringing in Brian and the other original creators. Thank you so much for bringing my favorite space ship of them all back to life again!
And thank you to Bob also for saving it the best he could from a needless death so many years ago.

@HackerGuitarist From what I heard of other prop makers you work your way up. Adam Savage started in theatre props learning as much as he could.
Industrial Light and Magic helps too.

Good luck with that guys! Thank you so much for saving it. I can't believe it was left in the rain to "die".
What about the large cargo ship itself? Is that still around?

There's talk that Ridley Scott wants to direct a prequel to the original Alien film - set just before the events of Alien.

Iconic craft from an iconic film!
