It’s science fiction as its finest and one that attracted both enthusiasts and critics. Interstellar is a story about a crew of astronauts who traveled through a wormhole in attempt to save the human race and search for a new home. The film is a box-office success, grossing $621.8 million. The film is inspired by Kip Thorne who is a theoretical physicist who eventually became the film consultant. They co-wrote the final script based on an original script Jonathan wrote in 2007. The film is a brainchild of the Nolan brothers – Christopher and Jonathan Nolan.

Well that's my update for now, wish me luck. I'll make a mold and cast a pair of these, then add some extra details. Again it took me several tries to get this right. I'm currently waiting for the delivery of this part, the docking ring. I did manage to successfully print window frames that I will use in my model. So I glued four panels together and made a mold of them. I knew I would need larger panels, and fitting smaller pieces together was getting tedious. I then made a new two part mold and several casts, then I made a mold of 6 of those and was able to cast several panels at a time.
The original print is the frosted one on the right, the cast (in tinted smooth-cast 300) on the left. I made a quick rubber mold to see what a cast panel would look like. I opted to send my file off to Shapeways and had them printed and the results are great.
But the prints were not detailed enough for my liking. I solved that by making the panels smaller, about 20mmx28mm. I have access to a Makerbot 2, but when I tried to print my panels the program choked on the slicing stage. I needed the panels to interlock perfectly with each other and that's the part that took some time to get right. I spent several evenings on Tinkercad building cells into panels. This meant that each cell needed to be about 2.5mm. I picked a size that I wanted my model to be, 35 cm or about 14 inches. So I set my sights on another path, 3D printing my own panels. Much to big for my shelf, but perfect for a studio scale model for anyone that wants to do that. I realized my finished model would be about 80cm long or about 31 inches. But each cell is 5 mm wide, and once I started counting cells in screen captures and doing math and ratios etc. I thought I could drill a small hole in each cell and vacuum form styrene over it and it would be perfect. I bought a panel and thought I had my solution.
Its a panel of honeycomb that allows bees to build their structures on. One detail of the craft are these honeycomb textured panels.Ī friend suggested something bee keepers use called Honeycomb Foundation. I did find a few things that were not quite right so I'll fix those as I go. I built the paper lander to get a better sense of what I was facing and as a visual reference. The plans are of the Endurance, but the Lander and Ranger are included. I managed to find a set of Papercraft plans for this model, without them I would not have even bothered to start this. I hope you will forgive me if I throw in the towel a few months from now, but in the mean time I'm good to go.
And all those angles, what the heck am I getting into. There will be some panels that are mirrors of another, but mostly all different. I did a rough count and came to just over 100, and not one of them the same. There are obvious difficulties with this model, beginning with all those panels.

I really enjoyed this movie and even though the lander is not the most attractive craft, I thought I would pay homage to this movie by replicating it.
