Jon Sorenson, one of the miniatures effect artists on the set of Alien, has created a website called Recollections of Alien. The website includes a collection of his photos from the set and his own personal recollections (as per the title of the website!):

It’s a fantastic read and there’s some really cool shots of the miniatures in his gallery. Thanks to Hudson for the news.

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.

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.

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

They are.

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

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.

Scene where Ripley's activating the self destruct.
