Discovery EVA Pod from 2001: HAL would think it was the real thing

pod_front22.jpg

“Open the pod bay doors, HAL.” Can’t you just hear that sentence in your head as you look at this 1/12 scale model of the Discovery EVA pod from 2001: A Space Odyssey? Wish we had more information about this gorgeous replica, sitting on its custom-built display base looking just like it did in Stanley Kubrick’s groundbreaking 1968 movie. It even has working headlights. Unfortunately, there are scant details about this highly detailed model. Can't anybody tell us where we can get one of these? "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

So, who makes it? How much is it? Will I have to sell my children?

It's definitely the Atomic City / Captain Cardboard space pod. It's not the buildup in the link from Whyy, though. More info at:
http://atomiccity.yuku.com/forums/4 and http://p214.ezboard.com/bonemanspacepodworkinggroup . You can also learn more about super-detailing and order upgrades for the pod at my site: http://pod.paragrafix.com/
