Bombshells to Blasters, An Auction You Can't Refuse Pt. 1

20th Century Fox, 1979. Large model miniature spaceship landing leg gear constructed of wood, cast fiberglass, resin, metal, and multi-media components expertly assembled, painted, distressed, and finished to appear as a piece of well-worn, heavy metal future tech. In the groundbreaking Ridley Scott sci-fi horror film, design was as much a character as any actor. Much credit goes to the visionary artist H. R. Giger for his stylistic atmosphere, biomechanical environments, and creatures, but the spaceship "Nostromo," a commercial towing vehicle, was also a landmark in futuristic form and was designed by legendary concept artists Ron Cobb and Chris Foss and realized by Academy Award-winning Special FX Supervisor Brian Johnson. Naturally, director Scott was heavily involved in the development of the unforgettable craft. The large 42 x 29 x 20 in. prop segment consists of three legs with a hinged landing pad foot affixed to the bottom of each. In the dramatic landing scene on LV-426, a trio of these landing legs are highly visible descending from the bottom of the ship and touching down on the ominous planet. Only one Nostromo leg of this scale was created for the film. Exhibiting heavy production wear and age. 2-of the landing feet are detached but present. In vintage fair to good condition. Special shipping arrangements will apply.
