Atomic City Pan Am Space Clipper Orion

(1/1)

Mr. Bill:
Greetings!
 
 Recently completed, this is the Atomic City Orion Space Clipper resin kit. For me, this is the most beautiful of the vehicles from 2001: A Space Odyssey.   From tip of nose to the end of the rear stingers, the model is 44 inches long (not 42 inches).   Being large and heavy, a sturdy display stand is essential to prevent tipping and damage, so I made one from a pre-cast concrete paver - it will never tip!  External battery powered LED lights for the cockpit and passenger cabin were added but I did not do an interior.  The wing is secured into position from the bottom with 6 small screws to allow access to the interior and lighting.  The kit decals are very nice, but the Pan Am logo blue seems a bit too dark?  Details about the construction will be posted soon along with more images of the completed model. In the meantime I wanted to share these first images of the finished kit . . . .
   
 Thanks for having a look, questions and comments are always welcome.
   
 Cheers,
 Bill

I missed this one too... lighting is subtle and looks lovely, same for the panel painting.

Mr. Bill:
Thanks Rokket!  This is one of my favorites and in this large studio scale it makes for an impressive display!Bill

SG:
Bill, I like the paneling and the lighting. Cool!
