So after building one whole Bandai kit, I thought why not build an escape pod. Lol. Now before anyone says anything about the kit, I didn’t know. I’m sorry. I didn’t find out until after the purchase the issues with the seller. The kit arrived in good shape and the only issue I really have is the four circled pieces could be better. If anyone could share what kit they came from I’d appreciate it. Anyway, here’s to learning...

Are those supposed to be airfix 1/144 Saturn V parts? I’m not that familiar with the escape pod, but that’s what they sort of look like.
 
Made some progress today.

Snow days mean more time for toxic chemicals.

So I'm trying to rebuild the engines, since the ones I was sent aren't even close. These are rough casts, but what do you think? Close? Not even close?

Thanks,
John

Well after winter, and lots of rain I finally get to start working on this again. Primed these in the garage and the wind decided I needed to try again.
