Just seen this on Facebook, 1/2600 scale, 350mm diameter, with in scale Orion.

Nice!

Looking forward to this one

Wow...looking forward to see it in pictures

Interesting. I am sure Moebius/Pegasus will be charging an arm and a leg for it. Same as their other 2001 offerings.

I'll wait for the pics on line to see if I'm going to buy it

I wonder if this was mastered from this?

It is possible, if it happened, but the Moebius version will be bigger, at 14" in diameter vs. 8.6".

I'm interested in this. I'm wondering if they will include a complete version, as in, not under construction.

Ah, missed that part

I was wondering since the Moebius Galactica was based off the TimeSlip creations resin kit

Definitely possible as they did convert a garage kit for the Aries 1B, I believe.

I could totally be wrong. It's happened before! ajamodels

Don't you like the "What if" builds?
They built the Discovery to go to Jupiter, so they must have finished the Space Station before then.

You do you.

In my opinion, it is not as visually interesting, if construction is complete, on the station.

I just have so much uncompleted stuff in my shop, that if I do build the space station, I want people to know that it's DONE!

I understand your train of thoughts Taz; makes sense that the SS-V should've been completed by then

Well. Here's another one i had no clue was coming out! They did not contact me on this either. I just HOPE they used my books as reference material.
I've been working on one for eight years or more - 28" in diameter. But life keeps getting in the way..... Now that I'm retired, i might finish it.

The original drawings/blueprints are dimensionally and proportionally identical to the final product, with one BIG difference:
The hub looks like this: See pic below...
The middle of it has very complex shapes in cross-section. The pic is my model - 13" tall. Still under construction.... Sorry the photo makes the top look bigger than the bottom, some wierd perspective thing i guess.

Apparently Jeffery Wargo mastered it.

The rendering looks pretty good. We'll just have to see how much is taken away by the conversion to injection moulding tools...
