2001 Pod (Full Size)

[Lee S]

OK OK I'm not going to be making a full size pod (yet)
But sometime ago I thought about making the Panel on the from, where HALs 'eye' is.
There's a very good couple of close-ups just before Frank is killed and they give just about enough detail to figure it out.
Interestingly it seems they detailed up one of the pods just for that shot as it's slightly different than all the other times you see the pods.

I spotted a couple of pieces right away and then this weekend I went through all the 2001 known donors that I have (still need scans of the 1/40th Atomic Canon) and found a fair few more. Here's my progress and notes. If anyone can spot any of the missing pieces that would of course be handy!

F looks like a jeep or truck instrument panel. I'd say the cut out area is for a steering wheel.

(the need for me to get my ass to Vienna and visit you, just gets more and more obivious )

Another great project.
When you’re ready to build the full size unit my workshop is at your disposal Lee!

Awesome follow up!
... no wonder, I didn't recognized any of the parts: I've zero of the donors in my stash. Cheaper to stick to my Ma.K.
Will follow with interest!

Are you again going to make a small run of casts?

Thanks Scott!
Part F is indeed a dash and from the 1/40th Honest John. Small problem is that I'm missing that part from my kit for some reason.
Anyone have a Adams/UPC/LifeLike Honest John and won't be needing this part? I can beg, buy, trade for it

Hey all,
I've found a couple more pieces on the HAL panel, but there's one that's still a mystery. I found something very close from the old Airfix Mineral Wagon, but it's not the right piece.
Anyone have any idea what it might be?
