Title: Atomic City Pan Am Space Clipper Orion
Post by: Mr. Bill on 31 Aug , 2019, 16:33

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.

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