here's my pod almost finished.

I used the, wait..(double checks the sponsor) "Bently of pod circuits" from Space Circuits along with my own additional lighting.

I ran into a snag when packing all of the wiring into the cabin. and the cabin into the shell. I had carefully made sure that there was room for everything, but the cabin shifted a tiny fraction of an inch "forward" in the time between the application of the glue and the setting of said glue.

the domino effect resulted in a gap between the body and the front plate that while not all that horrible, was a little too gappy for my tastes. what I decided to do was to cut strips of really thin sheet styrene to create a trim detail. See pics below.

There is still a bit of touch-up painting to do and decals then a dull coat to knock down the shinyness of the silver.

I borrowed the robot from the chariot kit for these pics until Drew comes out with his figures.

I have to figure out the best way to prresent the video..I could post it on you tube or make a zip file and post it here. I'll ponder on that for a bit

I purposely overdid the sharpening on the first photo to show you the trim detail. its really not that ugly in real life

Great job, as always Lou! You always inspire others. ( like me! ) ;)

Try posting on photobucket, Lou. that's where I posted MY core lights video, and linked it to the post I added on here.

Keep up the great job, Lou!

Sincerely,
Scorp.

Yeh that's really just a clean, sanitary build job all around! Hope mine turns out half as nice! :thumbsup:

That's down right purdy! I want one!

That looks really sharp, Lou! The painting and lighting are super.

Cheers!

Loved the video, you do very nice work all around.....

Great job mate :thumbsup: I really like the fusion lighting as it starts up :) and it even aswers the question about the chariots robot fitting inside.

Cheers,

Alec.

Very sweet!!alexander

well, now you've gone and done it! I was on the fence, but leaning towards not doing any lighting work on my pod.

But you had to post the video and show me how nice the rotating core and interior can look when lit up.

Thanks a lot. :p


Good job on the project. :thumbsup:
