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

Nice!!

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...

The base extending outside of the hull.

The base is now extendable.

The base connected to the pod bay.

I then glued some thin brass wire onto the pod base.

I drilled holes into the floor and glued sections of brass tube inside.

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
