The model was built using the original blueprints and scaled
down, you may notice that not all the details where incorporated
such as the head rest and dish decorations.. But in the movie
you can clearly see some new details added to the dish suggesting
the above picture must have been taken just before completion..

Some enthusiasts have tried to duplicate the Tantalus, its nice way
