Space Jockey · Mar 28, 2017

Those shots above make it look a heck of alot better than it does in the shots at the beginning of this thread.

It does...I think this piece might be back on my radar again...

It does look nice. An EU reseller has this as shipping on the 15th of April

It certainly does look more acceptable there.

Confirmation, took last payment. Finally shipping next week!

After I got the Space Jockey, I decided to also get this... Found a very good price at a local dealer, plus they support flex payments. Didn't think too long about it, hope it turns out even better than the latest pics!

PreOrdered the derelict first, then realized SideShows Space Jockey had to accompany this. The photos of the derelict look damn good, the paint job is my only concern. But I can always remedy that if need be. Ships next week, might have in hand two weeks time?

Giger's original in Las Vegas 2012.

It was the other way around for me - once I got the Space Jockey, I had to have the Derelict next to it. Can't wait until it ships!

I don't know what I was waiting for on the Space Jockey. SideShow put out an emailing saying the Jockey was almost sold out, so I pounced. The two should really compliment each other. Have the Space Jockey on a lazy Susan so I spin it around and look at it from all vantage points. Will do the same with the derelict.

Make your own conclusions.

Not bad for a mass produced piece.

tchalikias · Jul 13, 2017

I think it looks great. Can't wait to receive mine.

real nice, congrats Ken!! thx for great pics

Meh. It's just not a great looking spaceship and only looks interesting on film with dim lighting, smoke and blue light. In broad daylight it looks like something that fell off my Jeep.

I would definitely rebase it in some dull aluminum with nasty washes and airbrushed streaks.

Kenernest63a · Jul 14, 2017

Was hoping it came in two parts. Ship and base, for ease of painting. Going to try pastel dust of whites and greys first, see how that goes. Prefer Giger's original painting scheme.
