A wonderful way to spend a lazy Sunday morning looking at master craftsmen making models of things I love: space craft, aircraft, mostly WW1 for those, so I guess it's the whole range, huh? After seeing a few, maybe I'll get off my duff and go to "the stash" to start something, or complete/work on my other projects. Good times!

I finished my version about 2 months ago and it also turned out great thanks to some tips from you. I chose not to light the engines for a logical reason. With a pod leaving for an EVA the engines would not be firing! I did also light the pod bay with plenty of bright white SMDs so that the interior would be more visible. To accentuate the exterior detail, I primed the model with gray primer and then airbrushed a very light gray to control the final look on the various surfaces. It came out great. But it is a very delicate model.

John Takacs good plan! also while looking at the model under that shelf I thought it looked good being in the dark so the lights do pop more. One little idea I had was to get a piece of black foam board, and spatter a star field onto it and mount that on the wall behind the length of the model. Just something I might do if it were my model, or any such similar model. Good job!!

As far as the color of the model goes, the issue is that what we see on film is not what the filming miniature appears to look like when seen in person. They are, in effect, two different versions of the same ship. For myself personally, I want to experience the model as it appeared in the movie so, I always paint my models to reflect how they appeared on the screen, not necessarily how they looked in the studio. Others want to feel as though they have the actual filming miniature so they aim towards recreating the model regardless of how it appeared on film. Also, consider that the model makers understood how it would appear under lighting and intended for the perceived color to actually be white just as it appears on film. It's meant to look white. (IMHO)

Hi Boyd--so happy I came across your channel and these excellent videos! I'm one of those who built lots of models as a teen, usually without paint or with incorrect paints and a brush. I've resumed now and trying to take my game up several levels. I've learned a ton already from your videos. Thank you for the time and care in providing such a detailed walkthrough of the Discovery build. I have the kit, and your clear instruction has inspired me to do a first and install lighting. I'm working on a couple of other models to brush up on some skills before I tackle this, though. Thanks again for your help, and I look forward to seeing your next project.

There is a continuity error in 2010 about the pod remaining. All pods were lost in 2001. Frank's that killed him, Dave's that was lost when he exploded the hatch, and the last one he used for the trip beyond the infinite. If that's the only pod then your model is depicting the beginning of the trip.
@olympicnut2 жыл бұрын
Pod 2 was lost with Pool. (I'm looking at the ship from right to left) Pod 3 could have been retrieved by Bowman. In the film, there appears to have been no propulsive effect when Bowman blew the hatch on Pod 3 to get into the airlock. (Maybe he had the thrusters set to nullify that?) I see no reason Bowman would not have retrieved the pod. There is confusion when Bowman then leaves the middle pod bay door to investigate the Monolith since that station was the one Pool had launched from. Perhaps Bowman brought Pod 3 back into that area? And fixed the door? (Although in 2010, Pod 3 appears to have a missing door) Appears to be some continuity issue here.

What bothers me is in the movie, there was that large area with the cryo tubes that you see the guy jogging around. In the model with the hanger and the bridge, there doesnt look like there is any room for that. Maybe thats just a cinamatic error in the movie and nothing to do with the model, but that's just somthing I noticed. The model looks amazing though. Looks like a really plausable ship.

I know now that the miniature in that film was WAY off in some dimensions although it still looks great tumbling above Io when the Leonov rendevzous with it! 2010 has its issues just like the novel it was adapted from did but was still visually interesting.

@@wierdalien1 That's true. The original destination of Discovery One was Saturn and Clarke kept that in the novelization. They backed away from Saturn because Kubrick thought they were pushing their luck in the way Jupiter was depicted. A ringed planet (and pretty much ALL the outer planets are ringed) would have complicated things even more. The way Jupiter was depicted in 2001 was still fairly close to what was photographed in the 1970s. The planet always looks a bit different every time a new space probe takes pictures but that's mainly because the camera technology has improved all the time. The scan lines and so on aren't there any more and the images are far higher fidelity especially when you compare them to the Pioneer 10 and 11 images.

Would love to use modern carbon-fiber etc to do a model of this that didn't need to be supported on separate stands which really looks goofy. Though I do suspect that it would be a hell of a challenge to find any material light and rigid enough to enable a single central display stand. But I'd settle for a twin stand setup.

A solid rod wouldn’t be much stronger in bending than a hollow tube of the same diameter, and if the two had the same weight (i.e. if the tube had a greater diameter) then the tube would be stronger than the rod. (I’m dredging stuff up from the first year of my university course nearly 40 years ago here, but there’s quite a lot available if you search the web). That’s why structures such as bicycle frames are often welded up from tubular steel. So your hollow tube with the wiring inside is probably the most effective structural member that you could use.
@TrekWorks5 жыл бұрын
It depends on the material the rod is made from. For example a solid rod made of chrome moly steel 1/4" in diameter at 35 inches length would remain completely rigid with the given weight of the model parts on it. It's the stuff they use for making race car frames and it's incredibly strong. Mild steel would probably droop a little at that length.
