Hi all, After 3 freelance jobs, one sci-fi convention, and a boatload of stuff that just took up my time, I built my pod. Not just any pod, mind you, but a pod from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

This is Awesome. I expect 2 more pods, and then you can fit them into a scale model of the Discovery itself. :) Anyway, nicely done. I wouldn't worry about the rear hatch. I think it slides into the ship horizontally, and I can't think how you could (...) (22 years ago, 9-Sep-02, to lugnet.space)
