Commercial Towing Vehicle NOSTROMO....

[Bryancd]

This a professionally made model of the NOSTROMO from ALIEN I just bought on e-Bay. It is a build up of the discontinued Horizon Vinyl kit. It has a terrific paint job which doesn't show quiet as well in photos, but it is a very detailed model. I have always wanted to get a Horizon or Halcyon NOSTROMO kit but they are very rare and sell for $200+. I was able to win this one beautifully built for only $120.  :thumbsup

Sorry about the outdoor furniture shots. :)

Awesome! In the first pic i thought it was unpainted but on closer inspection you can see the great paint job.

Yeah, Joe, it pops a lot more in person. It's mostly shading and of the grey and dark grey to give it a weathered look. By the way, have you ever seen this amazing story about the original model and it's restoration?

Cool stuff Bryan, do you have a place in your house where you display your collectibles and Models?

[Rico]

That's awesome Bryan.  Now, look what you just made made pull off my shelf down here in the Rico Cave.  Maybe I should finally build this up!

Very cool find, Bryan. :)  How / where are you going to display it?

[Bryancd]

For now...the same closet I keep most of my stuff! I have my big Enterprise model in a Hutch cabinet, a few Star Wars models in our 2nd guest/weight/exercise room, and the rest in a large closet here in my office. I need a bigger house. :)

Dude; you need to stake out a man-cave like Rico! Showcase that stuff! :)

That's awesome Bryan.  Now, look what you just made made pull off my shelf down here in the Rico Cave.  Maybe I should finally build this up!
