I've noticed that he's taken the site down and the Facebook page. I'll assume it served its purpose and he doesn't need it.
He's asking people to send him an e-mail for further updates. I'll PM you with the content of his post and email address to send it to

Has anyone got any more details on this? No updates since the original paid-for pdf, and the recollectionsofalien.com website is now seemingly dead :/

A thoroughly enjoyable read and a joy to see a part of ALIEN that is not usually available to the public (personal not commercial images).

The attention to detail of the ships in ALIEN goes way beyond nose cones,fins or blinking lights to create reality for the viewer.

Thank you Mr. Sorenson for sharing your personal photos & having the foresight to take pictures as camera's were not carried with us like wallets or watches then. For me...seeing the bell bottoms...beards & Afro's was a bit of time travel. (I had an Angela Davis afro at one point  ;) )

5 stars  * * * * *  Mr. Sorenson!

When do we see the engine room in the movie?

Scene where Ripley's activating the self destruct.

The coolest shots are the engine room. That miniature seems to be the most elusive thing ever. I don't remember seeing pictures of it anywhere and it lasts about half a second in the movie.

They are.

It's not the same as the Juggernaut which is more circular and 'flatter'.

It looks like the prongs on the derelict model are curved upward.

The derelict sure doesn't look like it's sitting flat.

Quite an angle isn't it? Didn't Ridley say it landed or something?  To me this clear view looks more of a crash or a harsh landing.  Nice pictures though.  I love the detail we can see on the derelict, all those little etches and panels look cool.

The craftsmanship on those miniature sets and the way they were shot is a testament to how amazing the first ALIEN was.  It seems like everyone who contributed gave 100% on their jobs and the result is the movie we have.  Thanks for the link I thought that was really interesting to see the models up close.
