An original, new in box Aurora "The Moon Bus" Model Kits (Kit number 829-250) officially licensed kit from 2001 : A Space Odyssey (MGM, 1968) from the collection of Colin Cantwell. This is a model kit acquired by Cantwell at the time of release. He has autographed the shrinkwrap. This kit has never been opened, though it shows some age from storage. Cantwell worked on the classic Stanley Kubrick film. During a midnight snack at Kubrick's home, a frustrated Kubrick told Cantwell that he had replaced his fourth composer and still was not satisfied with the music. Cantwell then suggested that Kubrick go for a memorable opening with the music "Also sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss. Cantwell also suggested the compositions of “Adagio” by Aram Khachaturian and “Atmospheres” by Gyorgy Ligeti. In addition, Cantwell designed the title scenes and managed the completion of the animation for the last three months of production on the film.
