Model made according to the same film on the occasion of the release of the restored version. I like this movie, it was probably one of the first sci-fi movies I've ever seen. In my opinion, it is a very timeless film that I like to watch today. Here you can see the trailer and a bit of the restored version:

So far I have glued the upper half of the ship...a few photos:

Mike,

As usual your work is SUPERB. My version of this didn't turn out as well. I had several problems with the final gluing of the upper and lower pieces.

Everyone, Mike makes this look easy it really isn't, not by a long shot. This model really requires a very skilled modeller to successfully tackle.

Great Job Mike.

Thanx
I can confirm it, it is not an easy model at all, my model has its faults, but looks pretty good in the photos (also thanks to the new camera that makes pretty nice photos)
