Excellent Pan Am Space Clipper model from Kubrick's "2001"

I got this model kit for Christmas back in 1968 and it was soooo cool I couldn't stand to build it. Too much pressure I guess so I stashed it away. Mind you it was just a $1.50 kit at the time but too cool just the same.
Now I'm cleaning out my Mom's house and I find it! (cue the 2001 theme music) My model kit of the Pan-Am Space Clipper, The Orion III Spaceplane from the movie 2001 a Space Odyssey! (f'n A!!!)
Anyway, I'm way too busy to do it justice and since 1968 I've learned that stuff makes people a lot more happy in the right hands rather than sitting in a closet. I just listed the gem on e-bay.
I'm a former Disney Senior Model Builder with seven years under the mouse and have since crossed over to the digital world as a Creative Director. I know that cool models can make lots of people happy.
