Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece 2001 A Space Odyssey continues to fascinate over five decades after its release. It’s been pored over, scrutinised and replicated in many forms, and the latest honourable homage comes from students from the visual effects and model making departments of the National Film and Television School: They have collaborated on the making of a miniature film set of the neo-classical “hotel” scene.

The brief to the model making department was to make a miniature set as accurately as possible and this particular scene from ‘2001’ was chosen as it threw up some really interesting challenges.
