2001 Space Station V Moebius build part 3!
I complete the flat black light blocking on the completed ring. I build the construction ring with over 200 parts! Very challenging and requires some modifications as well as painting the red beams in 3 stages.

In this build I complete the front ring with wiring through the spokes to the central hub. I mask and paint the docking bay, with lighting. I also complete a cast resin Space Clipper including some cool surprises! If you are interested in getting the Fantastic Plastic Clippers, email Allen Ury at FantasticPlast@aol.com.

I last minute quick turnaround build of my favorite scene from the recent Godzilla Minus One from, an angry Godzilla chasing a fishing boat with the main characters! I purchased the Godzilla figure from David Hodge, he can be reached at this email: panthera@twc.com The fishing boat was a basic tugboat file from CGTrader that I printed then modified with styrene sheet and strip and added figures...

A lot of modifying and scratch-building as I complete the main ship structure. Various paints and techniques used to get a grungy, beat up look.

I captured the end of the total eclipse, my camera wouldn’t focus enough on the dark center, looks like a dot. The flash at the beginning of the video is just when the sun starts peeking through, the end of the video it grows in intensity as the total eclipse ends.

Looking great but what happened to the build? It's been 3 years : (
Ken you are astronomical! amazing videos
Thank you!
Hey Ken, super fun build. Where do you get the LED light strip?
Yes, correct, there are parts of the scaffolding partitions that have no rails. So the model is more or less in line with the actual prop. On the record cover and poster, the scaffolding is very red. On the film is more brown. The red is the one that pops .. to my eye anyway.
Looking Great Ken, I like the approach to painting the construction frames after they are glued , much neater finish .
Great video Ken. Those outer girder pieces you cut off. I left mine and then was unable to close the sides of the completed sections. In the end I cut mine off too. I think there is an error in the kit.
Huge fan here of your work ! Super inspiring!!!
Just tuned in!!!
Hey, ken.... Long time watcher. first time poster.... I have a problem with your seeing of what's on the screen.... In your first shot of the station, Earth is on the right of the screen, station is rotating clockwise.... then a shot the Earth on the left.... station rotating counter-clockwise. Just a matter of perspective and I'm pretty sure the guys who put this together knew what they were doing.
I hadn’t noticed that the Earth switches from the right side to the left. It appears they reversed the footage which would change the rotation direction. It’s not just perspective because I’m always viewing the rotation direction from the perspective of the front or complete side of the station. Since it’s a ring there is no up down, etc. I don’t think any of these are mistakes, Kubrick deliberately changed the direction several times, including inside of the station which is a completely different effects shot.
@@kenspriggs5687 Ahh, I see what you mean... It does look like there is some reverse footage there, if you go by the completed ring..... Interesting. Maybe the guys decided to save some money on film by doing this. 70mm film was not cheap even by today standards. It's been over 30 years since I read the book, but what orbit was this station in? Would make a big difference on which direction the clipper came in. Standard orbit, or geo-stationary orbit. Thanks, Ken..... Looking forward to what this will look like. Oh, by the way... Say hello to your kitty for me.. : } I have one of my own.
I don't know how I could have missed this Video 2 months ago , Congratulations on the 2 Bronze Awards Ken . The Display Cases are Fantastic .
I think your idea about the space clipper, posed like the poster, is awesome.
Just use a real chain.
Ah well...like my Dad used to always say, "It'll either work or it won't" lol....I really like what you came up with for the contrail!
Wow!
Ken if you had used a clear tube instead of the brass? Wouldn’t be much easier to lighten and made the exhaust effect much better? Well? I get now why you didn’t… you had or could use a clear ROD! It’s much more harder and won’t wiggle that easily and you had could light it from the station side and the ROD would glow… the brass tube you had could give a clear coat and that makes it insulated towards the LED SMD’S… but yeah! You are doing a great job anyways!👍
Looking really good! Thanks for sharing the process. Including those that didn’t quite work out. 👍😎
lookn great Ken....great work as always
Thanks Oggie!
Whenever I see Panam decals I think of "Catch Me If You Can".
Wow, the contrail looks great!
Ken you never do anything half way , just having the Idea to light the ORION, attempting to do so , VERY IMPRESSIVE.
Looking good. Lots of masking, wow. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
That hi-res TV makes the ships look 3D. I love what a busy place Ken's living room is. Tools, Cats, models...
Dang
What a fun build great job too!
So great
❤so great
Awesome job designing the rotational mechanism Ken! Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Looks great Ken. It sure was a lot of work for that lighting.
Really nice job Ken, looking forward to seeing more. This always is a fun model to watch being built.
Great looking pod interior Ken!
Slick and Clean Ken , This is the best Pod Interior I've seen .
Absolutely breathtaking. SO grateful, Ken!
Cool . Inside is important to the look.
👍👍
Hey Ken, thanks so much for this build part 1! Especially the engineering solutions for rotating the model. And thanks so much for the links to these components, which solves the engineering challenges that I was looking for from my perspective. I can’t wait to see the follow up build videos!👍👍
Looking great.
A _real_ nerd would calculate the "actual" diameter of the station and then do the maths to give the "actual" RPM needed to give ⅙ G at the rim..... 🤣
You laugh but when I asked the question on FB I actually got replies doing just that! And they even adjusted it to be 1/6th of Earth to acclimate the traveler to go to the Moon! 😳
@@kenspriggs5687 I gotta know - what was the calculated RPM to give lunar gravity?
Here is an article. i found this it may help www.reddit.com/r/StanleyKubrick/comments/8ylv18/determining_artificial_gravity_in_2001s_orbiting/

I think the shots of the Earth from the booth are correct for the station rotating anti-clockwise. I tested this by filming a video of a stationary object while I rotated my phone in a clockwise circle from my perspective - anti-clockwise if facing the lens - keeping the bottom of the phone always away from the center of the circle. When played back the stationary object looked like the Earth in the shots.
Looking forward to following this build!
Unfortunately this would be a question for Douglas Trumbull
Wow
Dang❤ thas fantastic
Ken, I got this in the mail last week and I'm aching to get started on it. We moved recently and my workshop is in shambles, so it likely won't be till September before I can start.
FYI, when a film maker chooses to break continuity for the narrative or visual effect it is called selective continuity. Francis Coppola did it several times in Apocalypse Now.
The slip ring is a clever solution for the wiring well done Ken.
How did you get his hips done? the instructions suck! they have the front hip part backwards, so I don't know where to put the leg peg at. please reply, I just want to finish him
Hi just wondering if you got any instructions for this? I received the kit a few weeks ago and it's a bit more complex than I was expecting. I tried asking Randy but he's not responding for some reason, so thought I'd check if you got any from him?
He sent several screen shots as messages. I can forward them to you. PM me on FB Messenger.
I have this lighting kit. It was nice to see the reactor panel because I was wondering how much light bleed I'd get. A lot, apparently, so lot's of light blocking on that. I'm curious though... does the black circuit block for the reactor lights buzz when you have it plugged in? Mine does, and I don't think that's right.
Hey Ken, Great to run across your video. will make sure to check out more. I'm currently building that large one. I'm adding lighting and lighted engines with engine effects. Thank you for your video.
