In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of ALIEN.
I bring you a 1:1 scale Incinerator Unit Model Kit that I crafted in Fusion 360 resembling the unit from the film.
(I have always wanted one!)
"I am still improving this kit, so some parts may change."
Please check log for updates\changes. Times are in EST.

As I do not have access to the original props, I relied heavily upon photos shared by user 8th_passenger of his hand crafted build.
@ Propsummit.com link: "

as well as movie stills and auction house photos.
Without those reference photos this kit would be severely
lacking in detail.
A large portion of the files are little Greeblies, which you will glue into place.
I have included a "map" pdf file to help you locate where they should go.
If you have enjoyed building this kit please consider throwing some spare change in the tip jar!
To all the Ripleys out there, enjoy!
