That's pretty amazing work.
UPDATE...
Here is where we are now...Please note I still need to...
Attach the Reel to Reel tape decks
Scratch Build the Microphones and stands
Attach the legs to support the Table near the rear chair
Add the Hand rails around the control console..
Scratch Build a Life raft that is stowed under the control console....And detail the rear bulkhead with the lights and the door that opens and closes...
I took great pains to nail the interior color. It's a Light grey/beige custom mix.

Sincere thanks!
It's the space ship from the original Planet Of The Apes.
UPDATE...
I have fashioned a working hatch for the rear bulkhead and added the two lights on either side of it(per the client). The Hatch swings outward easily and snaps closed.
The interior is finished. now waiting on a replacement set of lights, then on to the exterior work!

UPDATE...
While waiting for my replacement lighting kit for the Planet Of The Apes Space ship, I have started on the Escape version.
This will also have several Mods by me.The Hatch will open and close, and it will have the lighting package. Here you see I Primed and started Airbrushing the Green around the View ports.

While waiting on the lighting kit for the Planet Of The Apes Spaceship, I have begun work on the Escape Space ship.
The client , among several other Mods, wanted a Working Hatch. I already made a working hatch for the original ship, but this one required the hatch to be lifted up and away...I have done just that. It required a little more work to perform to my satisfaction.
As in the other post, you can see I have Airbrushed the Green around the View ports. They will be masked off and the rest of the ships painted the white.

Not a kit but the closest thing to true toy ever released is the Japanese TV Box set - which comes inside an Icarus/ Liberty 1. This thing is nothing compared to Captain Han's super detailed piece of art - but ya gotta want one. The Kubricks fit perfectly and it even lights up and has an alarm.

UPDATE...LIGHTS!LIGHTS!LIGHTS!!!
OK,
I have installed the lights in the Planet of the Apes Spaceship. You can see the Control Panels in the first pic, The Lit escape tunnel(It should,t be this bright, I did it to show the lights, all the lights can be adjusted to scale via a dimmer switch), and a View from the rear hatch...
The wires a very thin, like thread, so one must be very CAREFUL when installing the lights...
