For those of you who are as fanatic as I am about the 2001 Discovery ship, there is a fantastic reproduction made by a Japanese company: https://discovery-one.hlj.com/ Their model is exquisitely detailed and goes way beyond what Moebius did with their 1/144 kit. The ART MASTER 3D model comes fully assembled and painted by Japanese artist. It measures 5 feet 4 long and is a replica at the scale of 1/10th of the original prop created by Kubrick and his team. The price is way crazy at more than $14,300 each plus an additional $650 shipping fees. Unfortunately, even if you had the money, the list of orders is already closed. Below are some pictures of the incredible ART MASTER 3D model: A truly magnificent piece of art. Yves

Thank you guys for the encouragement and compliments. I truly appreciate every one of them. Yves

None of the above :-) The Discovery pictures are from my Android phone. Everything about the submarine is from an old Sony camera, unable to focus at short distance. Yves

Well, the deep space "submarine" Discovery XD-1 is now completed: It will be a little while before I go back to the U-Boot but who knows..... the urge may come back, quickly. Yves

This Spanish Economic Web site seems to imply that AL is "In liquidacion", meaning Chapter 11 in the USA, or "toasted" for the rest of the world: https://empresite.eleconomista.es/ARTESANIA-LATINA.html Yves

Re.... Hmmmmmm Why would a Spanish company go to HongKong? So unstable and so far away from their normal territories. Maybe the wife convinced him.... That could be a disastrous situation. Maybe the "Son" does not care.... Yves

Beautiful results on the planking and nailing. Yves

Coming along nicely. You are making great strides with this diorama. Yves

Great project Nils. When I was a kid, I was drooling on the Hjejlen kit in the Toulouse Hobby Shop (Ideal Models). I never got it but I always kept it dear in my heart. I am so glad you managed to find such a beautiful model and give it a second life. Yves

Beautiful paint.
-
Amazing. Thank you for the very detailed explanations on how you proceed to build the deck. Yves
-
I stand corrected: monogram only produced the Roadster model: Your kit was distributed by Testors and Italeri. Yves

Very nice subject. Are these a re-edition of the old Monogram Kits? I built quite a few of the old 1/24 Monogram kits but cannot recall this one in particular. Once you have done this kit as an appetizer, you can try tackling the Pocher kit at 1/8th scale..... Very expensive though.... Yves

I love all Venetian vessels of all kinds....but my favorite remains the Vaporetto shown on the picture. What a beautiful model!!! Yves
-
Yes Clare, a beautiful kit for that POD at 1/8 scale. I think Dubz (Dirk) has bought that kit but I am not sure if he will start it soon and describe his build. Yves
-
Clare, you are absolutely correct. Of course, it is not the module that triggered the neurosis crisis within HAL9000, but the prospect of loosing its individuality and intelligence, after reading the lips of the two astronauts. The second replacement of the module was just an excuse to terminate one of the crew, after taking care of the three scientist in hibernation. Thank you for your enthusiasm and please show us what you will be building on the subject of 2001. Yves

I hear you Hubert, and of course, there is no way my poor painting skills can compete with a picture from NASA. However, the seams between the sheets are not giving me complete satisfaction and I have tried to improve on my painting a little bit. Jupiter is not an easy planet to depict due to the variety of colors and the tumultuous atmosphere. Here is where we stand right now. I have also included a couple of moons partially hidden from the sun by the enormous planet in front of them: Yves
