Alien (1979) – Original Space Jockey Plaster Maquette

Original Space Jockey maquette from Ridley Scott’s Academy Award winning sci-fi classic Alien. In deep space, the crew of the commercial starship Nostromo is awakened from their cryo-sleep capsules halfway through their journey home to investigate a distress call from an alien vessel. The terror begins when the crew encounters a nest of eggs inside the alien ship. An organism from inside an egg leaps out and attaches itself to one of the crew, causing him to fall into a coma.

Dallas (Tom Skerritt), Kane (John Hurt) and Lambert (Veronica Cartwright) discovered a large fossilised alien creature while exploring an abandoned spacecraft on LV-426. Referred to as the “Space Jockey” during the production, the Alien Engineer’s appearance was designed by H.R. Giger. The maquette would have been created as a concept model and shows the creature bonded to its pilot seat. Made of plaster, the piece displays intricate cast-in detailing fitting in with the production’s biomechanical aesthetic. The maquette shows minor wear and marks from use on production. This piece measures 13″ x 6″ x 11″ and remains in excellent, production made condition.
