What does the Sideshow one look like?

PS: Hammer3246: Yes, I have. About 500 times. And you?
If I knew I had to keep track in order to beat your 500 hundered times.. I would have.
I think Johnston's sketches are of more worth than any of these post-hoc cross-sections in determining the size of the pod...
Falk said:
Perhaps it's one of these I was thinking of. Anyway, my point stands. Johnston designed a smaller pod than we see in these cockamamie cross-section things...
You guys know that past the general shape the guys that built the models and set pieces didin't really give a hoot about "true scale" right...
With that in mind I'd suggest that you follow in their steps and make it to "look right" rather thatn argue about what "is right" which winds up being a pretty pointless argument IMO.
No offense intended toward ANYONE with the above just a commentary on building rather than argueing. If you build it so that it "looks" right you've passed muster... unless you're trying to recreate one of the specific models or set pieces. then you can argue about what "is right" and have a leg to stand on...

I have taken the big step, and ordered some kits for the escape pod:
airfix 1/144 saturn five rocket
tamiya 1/35 sdkfz 232 8 rad
tamiya 1/35 88 mm flak gun
tamiya 1/35 3.7 cm flak gun
tamiya 1/35 sdkfz 222 command car
tamiya 1/35 sdkfz 223 command car
heller 1/400 hms hood
heller 1/400 zerstorer
I know that there are more to be purchased but for now I will work with these...
I have drawn a WIP of the bottom of the pod, hope you enjoy it...

Lil' bit more work done...
Corrected the size of the Sealab parts...
Would be nice if you make a step by step built up thread. That way we can follow every step. Would be interesting to see.
I've seen here that they usually use paper paint buckets.MonsieurTox said:
I think that I will prefer scratchbuilding them like Lasse did.

Some more progress....

Thank you...Weezer said:
I think that this will help anyone who wants to make this Pod, ID some parts...
Is the paper bucket available in the UK?
Or does someone have the correct dimensions?
Thanks
Looks great!
I plan to rebuild mine: Roboterkampf Escape Pod
from scratch... and will have the decals ready shortly too, woo woo!
Do you guys need the Sealab parts cast? Been thinking of sending my Sealab to Mike Salzo when it warms up and he gets 'a casting, so I don't have to spend a MILLION DOLLARS to build these models, lol.
Is that the right one Kevin ? Because at $88, the mistake could be expensive !I'm not sure I could sell the 48 left buckets !
Ha ha, excellent points Julien!MonsieurTox said:

As for the bucket, I'm almost 100% sure that's the one that Rolando said he used.
Okay, did some Googling and here's the same bucket on sale for $1.28 each:
5 Quart Paper Paint Pot 10T1
Don't know if they ship abroad, though.
Thank you Kevin !
I will see if they ship oversea. Maybe a future project !
