Great news, indeed!
Uhu02, or Sensei, the incredibly talented, tenacious and productive model designer from Japan, who has brought us so many marvellously rich and detailed models, recently from the Interstellar and 2001 - A Space Odyssey Sci-Fi movies, plus a super-detailed Lunar Module model (the Apollo 13 "Aquarius"), has now bravely embarked on a complicated and interesting model design project:
The 'derelict spaceship' from the first ALIEN (1979) movie, no less!!!
A card model which, I can safely say, we have all longed and hoped to see 'coming alive' for some time. Until now, nobody has yet succesfully tackled the complex compound curves, on paper, inherent in this ship's 'organic' structure (as visualized by H. R. Giger).
And here's Uhu02's design plan, as seen through the design software:
When this model is completed, and it will this time around, I'm sure of it, it will be a very fine tribute and homage both to the ingenious Swiss artist and sculptor H. R. (Hans Rudy) Giger, who designed the original alien derelict ship, along with the ghoulish look of the ALIEN crustaceous creatures and eggs, but also to Ridley Scott for his recent prequel movie Prometheus, where this huge ship is featured as it heavily crashes down into the position where it was found in the original ALIEN movie (of 1979), where we for the first time saw it's contour outlined as a dark silhouette (like a menacing dead hand) against the bleek sky of the forbidding (and in later movies new frontier) planet.

LV-223 'Juggernaut' Alien ship??????: uhu02 ????????
I can't wait...
All the best from Stockholm,
