    Great tutorial and tips regarding the painting, the LED lighting system, the masks for the windows and the series of clamps for the rings. Very helpful so that the rings are not glued out of alignment. It will be great to see a method to actually rotate the model. And a great story about working at the video store in the 80's.🙂

    Lou - I used Citadel Chaos Black for a light blocker and Citadel Corax White as a final on my XD-1 Discovery and then did Aztek Dummy paneling in very light shades of gray and it turned out great. Corax White is an "un-pure" white, but not quite gray, either. Under external LED illumination, it looks more "white" than anything else - reinforcing your assumption about lighting being a factor in appearance.

    R.I.P. Mr. Compressor. I remember when you introduced him to your audience.
    I never knew that was Space Station V. I’ve watched the movie numerous times, and read the book once, but I must have missed that somewhere.
    Did the kit come with a little baby ship, that you could stick on a tiny stiff wire, like it’s coming in for a landing? What was the name of it? The Omni Comp? No, that was a skateboard wheel. HMS Pinafore? No, that was a ship in a play. Well, you know what I’m talking about.
    This is turning out really well. I’m looking forward to the finished product. And this kit was more than the pod? Wow.

    Thank you, as always, Lou - I have my copy of the model and will be following you - at an increasing distance! I wondered, during your progress, whether you could help the blackout of leakage by doing something which you already showed? That is, shining a light from the 'good' side, and using a brush to paint the inside black, as you could see the windows clearly.
    Also looking for the masks to be out here soon. Thanks again, and keep up the brilliance!

    I remember being overseas and for entertainment in our communications facility we had a satellite dish feed. This was in 1997 so many stations would just loop a tape of music rather than spend money on more expensive movies or tv shows. The German station that usually was on would put on a long one that focused on sixties and seventies music with the video being NASA footage of the space program from Mercury to Apollo. The highlight for me was the launch of Apollo 11 to “This night tonight “ by Nazareth. It just seemed to fit the moment.

    Hey Lou, wondered how soon one of you guys would do this one! Just got mine 2 weeks ago today and it's about #&';@/*-.+$"!@# damn time!!! Don't know about you, but I was sick and damn fed up with Moebius yanking us around for more than a year on this kit! Coming soon, coming soon, due out, due out, yada yada yada, nothing nothing nothing! They better NEVER do that again! Hear me Moebius: NEVER again! Either put it out or shut up until you do! That's an ORDER! Ahem... had to get that out of my system! I'm better now. Yeah... unboxed the kit and inspected all the parts but haven't started it yet, as I'm still working on the Aries and trying to work on my Enterprise history lineup and other stuff. And constantly interrupted by the demands of life. I, too, am planning to build mine on a rotating stand, but not quite sure how just yet. Looking forward to your next video for inspiration! 2001 is my favorite movie of all time and I've wanted this kit for most of my life. Had the Orion and the Moon Bus back when but sold them at a Trek Con in the 80s. Regretted it ever since. Have them all now except for HAL and the Space Pod. (On the list, but I wanted this kit first. And I really don't want the huge basketball size Pod. Want a smaller one like about 5 or 6 inches wide, like some on ebay.). With this one, my 2001 collection is almost complete. Also, I loved your videos on the Aries, which gave me "fuel" while I started work on mine. Got a lot of the subassembly done but the flight deck is a bitch. Have to flip it to accurize it to the movie. (The Aries sequence is the worst continuity offender in the picture) This means carefully cutting the seats out, making the door the floor, the floor the ceiling and the ceiling the door to the central elevator! Which is more complicated than it sounds! Then reassemble it all so the windows are on the lower part of the dome and the pilots can look down at the Lunar surface like in the movie. Also, so the door leads into the elevator, cause the way it's seen in the movie, that door would open in the ceiling of the passenger level! What the hell!? That's why I had to do such a big modification on the flight deck. You and others have done such a beautiful job with the kit that would stun most people, who wouldn't even notice, but I know the difference, and it would forever bug me. Oh, by the way, I figured out why many were having trouble getting the top dome to fit down snug and straight: the part is warped from the factory. Holding the dome upsidedown like a salad bowl, look straight across from edge to edge at eye level, and you can see the slight "waver" in it. It isn't straight all the way around. This guarantees that it'll never seat perfectly on top of the model unless you glue it, which creates the problem of how to open it to display the interior. (Or maybe change the batteries if you decided to build that inside the model. Or the LEDs.) A problem I'm trying to solve myself and don't know if I can. Anyway, just wanted to send a tip 'o the hat to a fellow modeller and share a bit. Been watching your videos for awhile and loving them, and thanks for the good look at the actual Aries filming model! Glad that at least that much survived! (I now have the very good books about it as reference that you showed before, but I only wish I could've gotten those 50 years ago!). OK, enough for now, and thanks Lou! Have a better one!
