Me neither, not a clue :)

I recommend careful attention to UHU02's guide pics for constructing the main body of the engine section, as well as @DanBKing's thread. It's all pretty straightforward as long as you take your time and follow the logic of how the parts fit. When it came to adding the raised pieces adorning the...

With the spine complete, onto the parts for the rear engine section. This piece is a work of art really:

And then it was time for the dishes. Woo hoo! The smaller two were more straightforward, although I found that I had to wrap the larger circumference pieces tighter than you would think necessary (the lines on the reverse of the dish were no longer at right angles) in order to ensure the heavy...

And here we have the mast, in various stages. The column assembly is lively and straightforward, the mast itself is pretty straightforward - it's all in the cutting really:

Here's the final completed module from the spine. Straightforward except to say the tabs on the long slope got in the way at the top, making for a curve which should n't be there. Not noticeable enough at actual size to warrant doing again, but hopefully a helpful note for anyone getting this...

OK - something nasty has happened to my last few posts on this thread, but the new site is looking superb, so probably a minuscule price to pay. I'll try and recreate where I got to in the interests of continuing a novice's guide to tackling a model way out of their league! This post also needs...

I'm now within sight of the antennae section (next sheet after the one I'm working on) . I wondered if @DanBKing might have any tips for waterforming the dishes? Would you suggest ditching the tabs for some edge glueing and burnishing? :) Or not...?

Here's a keep in touch post. Second row nearly done...

@DanBKing I'm speechless. Looking fantastic. Can't wait to see you get it finished

@DanBKing That is incredible! I wish I knew about this before I built mine!

54!!! :hammerhead:

Bottom row done... The modules on the dish section come later.

Looking GREAT! So glad you found my build useful

Wow! This is looking amazing already!

@DanBKing, Spine finally completed thanks! Finally onto the storage modules. HALlelujah! These seem straightforward enough. Only ambiguous bit is which way to cut the tiny tabs at the end of the thin profile sides. I've gone with cutting a clean end section and keeping the tab folds at the ends...

Blimey...

Hi Zathros, those interior pics are great. I've got the 2001 File book, which profiles Harry Lange's alternative designs for the film, as well as the layouts for the designs which made the film, including the Discovery Command module. I love the way they looked at the logistics of the pod bay...

Thanks DanBKing. Only slightly unnerving to know you are on board this mission! Your Discovery is what I'm only dreaming mine might end up like! These are for later on. Inflatable fun. Waterforming ahoy!...

Hi Zathros. Thanks for your input. My intention is to remove the lines as much as possible, but I've left them on board in the centres of the nuts/washers in order to ensure a snug fit. I thought I was a perfectionist until I visited Zealot! I know I've an unseemly join along the spine - but...
