C'mon Neil, you did it the right way, I should have opened a new thread to put more attention to this amazing restoration project !

You did an Alien job, sir !

I wasn't really sure where to post it tbh, lol.
I almost posted it in the same place you did, which also means i need to pay more attention, lol.

What were we talking about again? Very Happy

so weird that after what seems like an age of pretty much zero Nostromo stuff that fairly recently there's been some really exciting things going on. I'm wondering if I'm going to wake up tomorrow and find out Hasbro has a Nostromo playset in the works just to make it even more surreal.

Saw it yesterday, believe me it's really worth it !!! Dennis did an amazing job in collecting all these memories in time for ALIEN's 30th birthday !

You'll have a great time watching this bunch of "ordinary heroes" talk about their involvement on the film... there's even a few very funny moments ! (the "turkey story" being one of my favorites !)

OMG, that was INCREDIBLE!


Unfortunately it cant be captured like an FLV.


Hopefully he will make it available for keeps as a file or DVD in the future.

Just watched Alien Makers. Absolutely fantastic. It was so great to hear all these stories from people who worked in the modelshop. All the banter and practical jokes they pulled... When I was a teenager I wanted to get into special effects, so I did a diploma in special fx make-up; however I never took it any further as more and more work seemed to be done on computer, whereas I was interested in the animatronics and the like... so for me it was great to hear all the fun they had making the models by hand. Thanks to all who made it and contributed.

Glad to see that someone made the effort of recording these guys! I mean they're part of the old school of model-making and since they're already in their '60's and '70's it's time to do it before they fade away for good. Great doc!
