My second attemp: Moebius 1/8 scale EVA Pod (2001: A Space Odyssey)

[Kiwimike]

Thanks. Any pointers about how I can make the interior more accurate would be appreciated. I'm a fiend for accuracy, even if it means a build takes 5 years, as this 1/6th scale T2 Harley Fatboy did. Designed and printed new tires with accurate tread pattern, reworked exhaust system and a bunch of other stuff.

The greebly box…they had glove boxes back then…incubators also have holes about that far apart…foreshadowing the Starchild?

You have to get these 2 from CG Traders. bring it all to life.

Wow. Beautifully done.

Decided to poke my nose down the rabbit hole and have started mapping out the interior. Basic paper prints of the layout drawn up using Rhino, with reference to Tom Reddie's work and of course screen shots. Either I photo-etch the panels or 3d print them. I'm going to need a high res printer for the decals.

I built my first one back in October for a good friend of mine, and now I have finally gotten around to building my own.

If you jump over to IMGUR, you can follow the full build process if the captions don't show in the embed.

If you just want to see the finished shots, I've posted them below.

I learned a lot on the first one, and while I feel like I did a lot of stuff better on this one, part of my wants ONE MORE chance to make it perfect. But not right now. First I need a break and to build something with tons of weathering. No more pure white finishes for me.

Moebius 1/8 Scale EVA Pod: First attempt... Second in progress.

Hey there folks! First post... decided to start big. Earlier this year, I decided to purchase three 1/8 Scale EVA pods with two of my fellow 2001 fans, and help them, to varying degrees, finish their models. That way, we could each have one in our homes, and together, the full set of three...
