USAPosts: 1,203MI6 Agent
"... when seven-tenths of our universe remains to be explored?"
Approximate N Scale [1:160] replica of the Atlantis FX model.
Various materials including wood, plastic sheet, resin, more.
Commission from model maker Darren Kefford.
Build time: About one year (including research).
Unpacking on arrival in the US; traveled from the UK in a checked crate.
Front elevation. Originally intended to use 3D-printed helicopters but in the end were handmade.
Three-quarter view.
Central structure.
Because no clear reference images were available, much of the development period was spent discerning what the inner shapes did, which were aligned with what, etc.
Core details.
Next to impossible to capture on camera but the salon includes a dining table with candlesticks.
Pylon details. Most of this goes unseen in the film.
Lower core.
While all present on the actual FX model, almost none of it is visible in the film.
Both the dining salon and map room illuminate.
Near impossible to capture on camera but the map room includes the platform and handrail where Bond & Anya observe Stromberg.

Wow, AMAZING work there Alan. Panel paint detail is excellent. Nice touch with Wet Nellie in the foreground too.

Don't worry. He will survive the fall and swim away.
Does he (Darren) have a website/contact details - I'd be interested in commissioning something
