USS SULACO Exterior Blueprints Now Available

After a huge effort and long wait, I'm proud to finally be releasing the exterior blueprints of the Conestoga Class USS SULACO.

As before with the USCSS Nostromo, the SULACO is printed on double matte mylar at 24x36".

Filled with technical information the blueprints feature Plan, Underside, Stern, Bow and Starboard Orthographic views.

The price for this print is $50 USD shipped worldwide. As before with the Nostromo which is now sold out, this will be a strictly limited run.

This print will not be reproduced in a 12x18" format because of the shape of the ship and the detail loss that would occur.

Please allow up to 25 days for delivery. As I travel much further now for the prints, I will be printing them in batches once paid for.

I accept Paypal for prints - please email me personally at hydride-ion@live.com for payment instructions.

Thanks for your support with the Nostromo and again for your patience with the USS SULACO.
- Graham.

  2. Too many quotes from the movie instantly spring to mind to choose just one, but I'll sum up by saying this... Remarkable.

  3. I see you included the right side only but included both sides on the Nostromo. Just curious why?

    Because the two sides are identical (supposedly; the other side was never actually built on the original model), apart from the array at the front and the reversed SULACO lettering.
    I toyed with including the other view, but to do so would have meant that all views would have had to have been reduced in size considerably to make room on the 24x36" sheet, which in my view really wasn't worth it.
    One other point - the original model was refurbished after its use on Alien III, and the original black USS SULACO lettering seems to have been reapplied in a slightly different location to that seen on the movie (it was possibly taken off and replaced with the white lettering in reverse text - USS SULACO reading backward - filmed and mirrored so it looks like we see the other side of the ship). I followed the ALIENS version.
