Alien: The Derelict Model after the movie

Alien: The Derelict

The unseen side of the derelict is seen here packed for return to England after being shown in Hollywood in 1979. One can see how much of the model has been covered in the biomechanic detail. The back of the model as seen in the film that might be the front of the ship has been left bare, the arm with the hammer shaped tip looks very smooth along the outside of the arm.
