In real Touch with HAL
Hello Charles, hello All - above I mentioned the special exhibition "50 years 2001" of the Film Museum in Frankfurt and today I finally found the time to visit this - a great time, already the nice detail of the internal museum signage 3rd floor was nicely done
Unfortunately there are no more physical artifacts of the monolith left, so i photographed the lego-like monolith toy with the monkey at least.
I can't imagine how big Kubrick´s advantage would have been, if you and your SkUp skills had been part of his team.
There was an about 4 m long Spacecraft Discovery model next to the moonbus and other models, the original space child even!, original space suits with helmets and equipment, lots of original script sketches and even: Hal - I touched it/him as the guard looked in the other direction somehow I expected this reddish candle-like light and this strange voice telling me "I can't let you go home with your car"...
From your great model scene there are some original hand sketches and set photos at least and: with your model here you're pretty damn close to this set, obviously

I dont have a good mobile phone camera - it was very dark of course and using flashlight was not allowed, yet I'll add some photo impressions here and I hope you´ll like it ...

Best
