2001 Moon Bus

[Klaatu1701]

Just completed the MOEBIUS kit for Space Odyssey Moon Bus. Searched internet for interior colors...any advice? I understand Kubrick destroyed the models after filming wrapped...I went with a "blue-grey" interior...any new ideas?
Working on Aries 1B Shuttle next...seems more straightforward.

Over on Hobbytalk, djnick66 did a really nice build showing what paint colors he used throughout the model; page 5 of the thread gathers the paint call-outs:

Reading through that may help you make decisions about what colors to use for your build.

Hah! I fooled the universe! I cleverly finished one kit, and now more information has come out so I can do the second kit properly!

Is that like completing a rare and obscure scratchbuild so that you can lure out the even rarer and more obscure references you needed to make the scratchbuild accurate?

[Kekker]

Yup.

I'd seen some color-corrected interior shots, but these were the best, and I liked the color swatches he added.

Of course, during the construction of MoonBus #1, I found the information about the map storage bins and how much farther forward they were after I'd glued in the bulkheads and floor!

I'm a HUGE fan of Kubrick, is there a blog dedicated to 2001 A Spece Odyssey models? Working on the Clipper & Aries 1B shuttle. Trying to get the Space Station and the "Pod" model...loved Space 1999 for the Eagle (God bless Brian Johnson!)
