Focus of course will be on the 11-foot model of the Nostromo. As Brandon Alinger, Prop Store COO, commented: “Next month’s auction, brings one of the most significant and largest spaceships that we’ve ever handled to the block: the Nostromo from Ridley Scott’s ALIEN (1979). The Nostromo stands among spaceship icons like the Millennium Falcon and the Discovery from 2001, and this is the primary model used throughout filming. It measures a massive 11 feet in length and originally had systems for lighting and CO2 effects. The model was built and filmed in the U.K. and it’s amazing that it still survives today.  We’re looking forward to offering this piece along with over 850 props, costumes and models at Prop Store’s Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction on 26th August 2020 and 27th August 2020.”
