patricksparks Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Have been working on this project for the last few months, I was able to find some miniature TV screens and some small digital media players to replicate the information screens in the cockpit. It has been a challenge to say the least.... hopefully you can see the video. https://imgur.com/a/sECnkxW Uncarina, jimbo, daveculp and 10 others 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trak-Tor Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The screens look great. But there are no stars visible behind the window. It must be fake! Juraj patricksparks and ringleheim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricksparks Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 I have assembled a base for the pod , I used photos of the movie's scenes inside the pod bay for reference. I made a turn table from "egg crate" styrene that is used for ceilings as light diffusers and heat and air returns. The pod will be able to rotate 360 degrees , I have installed a 12 wire commutator that has all the video/electric running through it and allows free turning.

patricksparks Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Inching a little closer to the finish line, put all the decals on the main body, still have to paint some details here and there and put the clear lenses on the headlights. Still have to finish the "EAR MUFFS" for the 2 sides, just taking my time on this one.
