Unlike other replica projects where there is an original prototype that can be used as reference, most of the props from 2001: A Space Odyssey where destroyed after filming. Katsuya Nishizaka -Director of Production
Much advice and insight where provided by other researchers, most notably, Adam Johnson, to create the most accurate replica of the 54-foot miniature ever created. Sketches were converted to 3D, by veteran KAIYODO creator, Tetsuro Kato, and his production company, STUDIO Ren. Over 300 hand drawn sketches by researcher, and the Director of production for this project, Katsuya Nishizaka, were used based on many years of his private research. The goal of the “Art 3D Master” series is merging the most up-to-date digital techniques with traditional modeling. In this production, digital tools were used effectively, with great care given to capturing the analog feeling of the original prop used in filming. There is a risk of losing the authentic feel of analog prop construction when using digital techniques. 3D and digital technology have improved in recent years allowing for greater accuracy and higher resolution in recreating detail at scale. Since the days of analog model construction, technology has progressed greatly. There remains much debate as to the exact size of the prop that was used, as well as the length of the Discovery represented in the movie, ranging from 100 to 150 meters.įor this project the most commonly recognized size of 54 feet has been used to scale the 1/10 scale prop reproduction.
However, it is said that the size was re scaled to 54 feet due to factors that arose during filming.

The length of the original movie prop was intended to be 57 feet. The entire ship has been recreated based on sketches and blueprints, from numerous researchers, among them Adam Johnson, author of “2001: The Lost Science.” This is a precise replica of the movie prop used in filming, at 1/10 scale, 64 inches long. The “Art 3D Master” 2001: A Space Odyssey – Discovery, is the latest product in a line of high-end collectibles by Japanese figure maker, KAIYODO. The most precise and largest scale commercial reproduction of the original movie prop ever produced.
