Caerbannog Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Wow - I once got the Atomic City 1:12 pod (can find the build somewhere in the group build achive here) at a bargain price and this is alread quite big. Hope the interior is more accurate on the Moebius kit. There is some nice reference on the net on how to build a more accurate interior for the Atomic City kit but it was too much to do for me in the few months of a GB.

This I reckon will be about a 1/3rd bigger than the Atomic City kit. Thomo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not small by any stretch I can see a bit more of the price now (unless that's a tiny hand), but the bit about the interior being designed with lighting in mind sounds interesting. Figures would definitely bring it to life though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully ParaGrafix will do a lighting film set as they did for the Atomic City/Capt Cardboard 1/12 pod, that will quite literally bring the model to life. Thomo.

Figures would definitely bring it to life though It surely would - the only thing to consider is that a seated figure will block 90% of the view from the open hatch, which would be sad considering the interior detail (which looks way better than that of Atomic City btw) 🙂 I should sell mine to start raising funds...

Mike Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Maybe some standing ones - one of Keir Dullea stood up straight in a manful pose, helmet crooked in one arm as if for some publicity photos. I tell you what, Keir is wearing damn well for his age. I saw a video of him in 2014 with Gary Lockwood, ands while Gary looked his age (bright as a button and very funny with it), Keir made me wonder if he's got some painting in his loft somewhere 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Wow - as I have the Atomic City pod so the side by side shot give a very good feeling about the new kits size to me - this is massive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
