It should hardly come as a surprise that the set and prop designers behind Alien didn't actually piece together a life-size version of the Nostromo (the cost would have been outrageous), but seeing the miniature used for the film is no less impressive.

The level of detail on the spacecraft is extraordinary, and its intimidating scale is brilliantly realised in relation to the set build around it.
