I know this is slightly off topic here, but you sound like Mark Hamill. Somewhat of a strange coincidence.

I’ve always thought it was more realistic if windows were a little dim. It doesn’t look right to me to have the model look like there’s a stellar fragment inside the ship

Hi Randy, another wonderful tutoral video! I just wanted to ask about the paint scheme (off topic a bit). Can you advise me on what good source information I should use for screen-accurate colors? Thanks so much in advance if you can help in that regard!😀

Hey Randy - Cris reminded me of this great video! In fact, I was looking for this specific thing when I start to drill holes in my Kilowatt model for the fiber optics that you sent me as part of my special version of your lighting kit! You and Cris are the best! Just to confirm, area there any recommended drill bits to use? Or will any brand of small pin-vise drill bits work? Just wondering!

Stunning! Can’t wait to see it lit up.👍

lovely lovely paint job, my friend. All those panels really POP now. Can't wait to see the parts with the lights on.

I think they should have done the rings in clear plastic.🙄

You can use this shuttle craft lighting for other modle kits too.😁

Regarding light blocking, could you use black hot glue sticks over the clear hot glue, or is space too tight? Cheers ✌️

Randy! Great video.. I respect your opinion, what is the quality of this.. I want to hear your opinion.. I heard some mixed reviews..

DONT BE CHEAP....SPEND THE $20.00 FOR AZTEK DUMMY MASKS !!!

Con ganas de ver el próximo video, saludos cordiales

This one is above my pay-grade.

Ur giving me ideas Randy....lol

Hi Randy, I watched this video three (3) times now and I realized this lighting kit is perfect for my model builds! The pulsating bluish/turquoise engine lighting effect is so good and then it transitions to the BSG engine boost effect. Coupled with the cockpit “on” lighting feature, thanks for putting this great kit together!😀👍👍

TY Randy!! Fantastic as Usual!!

Very cool

Excellent effect!

Hey Randy, sorry to comment so late, playing catch-up at work. I loved this "meet the parts" video, what a great looking kit. I received mine last week and am thrilled with it. Is there a lighting kit in our future?

To say that people have been waiting for this kit for a long time is one helluva understatement. The movie came out in 1968. That's 56 years, or more than half a century ago! It must have been the grandfather of someone at Mobius who suggested this to be made.

Hi. I was wondering if you released a video on the Alclad coating? Maybe I am missing it in the various video titles. I’ve never used all clad before and would love to learn more about it.

Actually, all you have to do with the windows id mask them and light block from the front.

Received mine yesterday. The final series piece. Mobius is the space x of 2001

To go where Lunar models and Capn Cardboard promised to go.

"Ice Cream!" 😊

Great video. I want one of these models.

Just got it - EXCELLENT KIT !!! - exceeds expectations - hat tip to Moebius - Randy: yes, screams for lighting ALSO PLEASE CONSIDER designing the ultimate display mounting kit with a quiet rotation motor - make it do what it was designed to do - spin!

I got that STL a couple of weeks ago. What printer did you use to print it out ?

Great movie, great model.

I wish this kit had a miniature space clipper..

Got mine from Monsters in Motion this morning. Three days from California to London. Thanks for the swift delivery MIM. This model is going to have to wait until Thunderbird 1 and the PanAm clipper is finished. Very interested to see how a lighting kit could be designed for this.

Can’t wait to see you work your brilliance with this kit.

This is going to look amazing with lighting installed! Are you planning on LED strip lights on the inside?

So cool! I remember seeing CE3K in the theater when it first came out. I would love one of these kits! Thanks for sharing Randy!

Looks very accurate. Great idea! Such a great movie.

SCALE???

Very cool kit! Looks to be around 1/72 scale. Would be neat to display it with a light kit and some figures for the cockpit. Just need to accompany it with steppenwolf blasting lol. Thanks for the review Randy! Great job!

Thanks for the review!

Great Vid Randy!! TY

Not "mold injected." The correct term is "injection-molded."

This kit is just begging for a LED lighting kit.

How does this model size up to the Kenner Imperial TIE Fighter? Is the cockpit ball the same size as the Kenner toy's one?

Thanks for this, what a beautiful kit.

“V” not 5.

WHAT GREAT ART COVER ON THAT BOX. Who did it? I thought the very small grids would be metal.

Where the flying fiddle frakking hell is it!? Yours is the second review I've seen in a week after over a year of hype, and I'm sick of being yanked around. It's nowhere to be found! Amazon, Ebay: nothing. My local Hobby Town shops don't even have a listing for pre-order! Hobby Linc and the rest of the online sites have no "coming soon" alert, and all the dozens of modellers on Utube, from Boyd and Lou and Gerry Bourget and on and on have so far made no mention of it. And those guys build EVERYTHING! What the hell is the deal with this!? And how do you get these things when nobody else can even get a lead on them? Last week I vented off on Max-of Max's Models- about this very thing, when he made a brief mention of it, after I tried to do a pre-order with Monsters in Motion. Their site said they would not charge my account until the item shipped which wasn't supposed to be until at least Friday, May 31st, when my account would be reloaded. Perfect, I thought. Wrong! They charged my account overnight, putting me in overdraft! I had to call the bank real quick to stop the payment and restore my balance to cover another bill that was due. They broke their word and caused a problem! Then I saw all the bad reviews they've got online. I will never do a pre-order again, with anyone. I buy it outright, or not at all. No wish list, no pre-order, no "watching", or none of that felgercarb! And I'm having the same problem with the clear/translucent Enterprise D kit: either they don't have it even listed, or 2 sites say "currently unavailable" along with the spider trap of the good ol' pre-order. Hell no! All the more frustrating as 2001 is my favorite movie of all time and made my choice of career- to work in film- all those years ago. I've been waiting for these kits most of my life! I had the Moon Bus and Orion back then, and now I have those again and the other 2001 kits that didn't exist back then, so I've been waiting for the Space Station kit to complete my collection. But I'm sick of waiting! Moebius better crap or get off the pot! Oh, and what are the links to buy this thing? People online keep saying they'll show links, but there's nothing comes up on screen to look into. Anyway, seen your film and model work, and love watching your videos. You're another one of the heroes in the film and modelling pantheon. Thanks for letting me vent, and would appreciate any concrete information you might have on where to actually get my hands on this puppy! And when!

Great review! Re lighting, although it's a minor disappointment that the windows are not cut out having the plastic moulded in white is the next best thing. As you say, mask the individual windows, light block and paint everything else and the windows should glow nicely.

Thanks for the review! Ive been checking for the message from culttvman that it is ready to ship everyday - looks awesome. I will definitely want to add lights.

Randy, have you seen the Revell ISS Space Station kit? It's HUGE! If I decide to buy it I will certainly want to add lighting.
