Your paying for a 2' tall hunk of Plexiglass. Personally at that scale i think I could pretty well fake it with some Home Depot plexi and plaster of paris.

Well, why not build a life size one and stick it in the back yard. Then find a cheap gorrilla suit and go out every now and then and run around hooting at it and tossing large bones up in the air. Lots of fun till the neighbors send the guys in white suits over to haul you away...

 

There used to be a really cool garage kit of the monolith. It had a crouched man-ape on one side reaching out to touch it and a standing astronaut in a 2001 EV suit reaching out on the other. I wish I'd bought one now but it was around three hundred bucks so I passed.

You could get a model of the Leonov and do a forced perspective scene from 2010.

The movie prop on Earth and on the Moon was 11 feet high. That would be 1' 2.7" x 4' 10.7" x 11 feet. Make it in any scale you want.

I think, for that amount of money + tax, I could go down to the local hardware store and get enough supplies to build a full-sized replica.  Where to put it, though...

 

Where to put it, well, there can be only one place.

But that might just cost a bit more than the model.

Maybe thats why the model is so expensive.

I hope for that price it opens a stargate or at least makes me smarter...

 

I like that Caroline Munro as Stella Star figure much better, her figure was a lot nicer than the 1-3-9 of the monolith... Heart

We joked about such a ridulous thing a few months ago.  Now, do we really have one?
