The film's spaceships were models made from wood, fiberglass, Plexiglas, steel, brass and aluminum. The fine details that forever would change the look of space on the screen were created with heat-forming plastic-cladding, flexible metal foil, wire tubing and thousands of tiny parts taken from hundred of plastic model kits--everything from railroad cars and battleships to airplanes and Gemini spacecraft--bought at a European toy fair. The fine details made it possible for the cameras to get as close to the models as possible with no loss of believability.
