This picture was posted by Lou Zutavern on FB today.
It's of the original Narcissus garage from Alien - long presumed lost.
Apparently, it is in LA and will be undergoing a full restoration - awesome!.
However, the reason that this particular image is exciting for me, is that it represents the first time that there has ever been a measurement reference that can be tied directly back to the (long lost) original ship - as the garage and engine recesses were made to fit it exactly, obviously!.
I have measured the rear engine centres on my model and am relieved to report that they match Lou's dimensions exactly!
