I was wondering the same thing.

It was stated in the article -- a piece of aluminum tube. He glued Foamcore "bulkheads" to this which supported the external skin.

Oh - actually, I should have been more specific; I was referring to the external armature. It looks very similar to a few in pics from Chronicles. In one the article's pics, it appears that there's a pair of vicegrips at the front of the nose of the pod...

Ah. . . that I don't know. I can ask. Or you can post a reply to the thread on Part 2 and ask him. . .

Oh... For some reason I was thinking I couldn't post. Well, that was easy.
