Guys. looks like the above Pod is now in the hands of L. Peterson. Congrats Rolando. Wish I could have been there..

I have several (5) ready to ship but folks that said they wanted one cant cover because of the holidays.

Rolando will be working on the painting guide and building instructions next week. The primered & Rolando built casting of the EP on display at the book signing the other day was mistaken by Former ILMers as an actual filming item. Feels good to trick the pros.

PM me.

Actually, at one point in the evening, the mount for the Pod loosened and the thing began to tilt. Someone caught it and told me and I tightened the thing up. The guy that caught it said that that he could now say he touched one of the models from Star Wars. For some stupid reason, I told him it was a replica. Part of me thinks I should have just let him think it was "real". Sorry if I burst some RPFer's bubble.....

Steve has been having a rough time at it in Denver being snowed in with more on the way. Hang in there, Mother Nature tends to be a real "beach" sometimes.

I have a dumb question. Why does the escape pod look different when it lands on Tatooine?

 

[swpropmaker]

Guys. New lower price for a run of 10 Escape Pods. See details over in the junk yard.

Thanks
Steve

As I'm working on the instructions I've been taking pics of the kit parts all cleaned up with it's first primer coat.

The kit consists of 63 parts as pictured below.

Contact Steve at sneisen@comcast.net if you're interested in getting one of these.

Here are the pics.
