Wow. Looks magnificent. Superb work Nando. You solved the stand and support briliantly. Just for comparison, here is original moovie model 
This is awesome!
rinks: Like what you've done with the stand!:Congrats::King::King: :King::King::King:The wood base is a VERY nice touch!:Bravo::Bravo:

I thank everyone for the support and encouragement you have given me throughout the construction of this model. At the beginning I believed that the model was simple, but continuing in the work I had to work hard to realize the single parts. They are particularly complex and despite the perfect design and detailed instructions, some steps have proved particularly difficult.
But the most difficult moment was when I started putting together the single parts, because the particularly weak structure seemed to make it impossible to finish the assembly in a decent way, making all the work done up to that point useless. I thought I had come to a standstill.
But, thanks to your suggestions and encouragement and extensive research, in the end I managed to find ways to solve the problems of weakness and support at the same time.
The model will be exhibited at the weekend at an exhibition of models at the prestigious Altec headquarters here in Turin during the event to commemorate among other things the 50 years of 2001 A Space Odissey. For the occasion I thought of adding a background with the poster of the film that also represents Gargantua and the photo that Bigpetr has posted to show also the "real" spaceship.
Thanks again to everyone

Thank's for sharing this build with us! We always learn something from the builds!
I almost forgot... GREAT MODEL/STAND and display!! But needs a Zealot scale cube with Zealot in LARGE LETTERS!!
In reality it's a Zealot cube, or better to say a Zealot ancestor: the Cardmodels.net forum
Rhaven,
Believe it or not there actually are. Most feature plastic models, however there are some paper models thrown in there for good measure.

Look for a modeling club in your area. I've heard rumors that some are plastic snobs, but I think that once you show some of your models some of these people will change their minds.
I'll still hunt for paper specific events.
Take care.

Nando,
Thanks for sharing these pics of the event. Wish I was there. Those 2001 dioramas were sure something!
Your model really stands out!rinks:Sky Seeker

@Sky Seeker Thank you for the link. There is a local chapter of the IPMS near where I live. I visited it once and was quickly shunned by the entire group for not building "real models". I was told that I should come back once I have a "real model to show the group. Not only that, but I was also told that paper models were not allowed in any of the competitions, because "P" stands for "PLASTIC" not 'paper'.
