Independence Day, Alien Puppet and Mothership Console Model Miniatures

original movie prop

These are the used Alien puppet and mothership console model miniatures from Roland Emmerich’s sci-fi action blockbuster Independence Day. Captain Steven Hiller (Will Smith) and David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) saw aliens working at computer consoles when they flew into the mothership to upload a virus. The poseable alien puppet is made of clear urethane over a metal armature and is expertly painted by the production. The computer console and chair are made of resin, with the back rest and the front console sliding into place over the chair. Fitted into the monitors are small blue bulbs with cut wires that would have illuminated the alien seated at the station. The alien console resides on a dense foam surface taken directly from the mothership model miniature.
