That's awesome, now THATS what I call a beer!

If you squint your eyes, it kinda looks like the Leonov ; p

I feel your pain! I'm working on a 3 ft resin version of the Discovery. I used a brass tube for the spine and although the parts were finished, all of the little "nuts" had to be drilled out and the edges sanded and smoothed with needle files. I had to come up with a jig to keep them all aligned...

I understand, I've been working and reworking my Discovery pod bay for about a year! Sometimes I come up with an idea and it works great, some others I keep trying different approaches until it's just right! Too much of a perfectionist I guess ; p

You DID nail those shots! They really look like stills from the film! Awesome!

That is really awesome, can't wait to see how it all comes together!

I'm working on a couple of models simultaneously, a paper Proteus, a paper 2001 spaces pod and my resin Discovery. Focusing right now on completing the Discovery pod bay. Got a new Dremel tiny drill bit set. Using them to make brass tubing extensions for the pod platforms.

(continued, hit enter by mistake) an exacto knife, just slightly to make the bend straight and sharp.

I score the line I want to bend lightly with an exact knife

Perhaps a little too much beer ; p

That is an awesome job! Looks fantastic!

Is there a way to change the photo that shows on the gallery album instead of the first one?

Thank you! I've been working on my Discovery for about a year now on and off. I've been busy at work for awhile and I had put it aside. I'm getting my second wind now and I'm anxious to complete it.

Thanks. Here is the link for the gallery http://zealotmodels.com/gallery/albums/2001-discovery-build.63. If you click the gallery tab it's there as well. I'll be uploading some more pics of the progress of my scratch built pod bay.

Check out my gallery, I've uploaded some photos of my progress so far including my scratch build pod bay. http://zealotmodels.com/threads/2001-aso-ussc-discovery-one.172205/
