			<description><![CDATA[ I have found that, in general, the drawings Simon Atkinson did for the Bizoney book are at least as accurate, if not more accurate, than the blueprints done for the film.  This is because of two things.  First, the blueprints done for the film were not as complete as Simon's drawings and, second, quite often things change from the blueprint to what gets built.  I have found that the blueprints are a great source for verifying certain things like dimensions and overall shape. Simon's drawings... ]]></description>

Scott, I think you mentioned them also. Are these available anywhere? <br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Art (always looking for more references) Krull ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the info Scott. I appreciate the time your taking. No, I don't have your Pod kit. That's why I'm interested in your master building photos. I believe the pod is (was?) 6.5' in diameter, right? That way I can heat form plastic sheet  over a 1.5&quot; hemisphere. Since that would make the model hollow I'm giving thought to adding an basic cockpit. I'll have to see how far my rather basic scratchbuiliding skills can take this.<br><br>Thanks Again,<br><br>Art ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Arthur-<br><br>The reference to 13 inches should actually be 13.5 inches and that refers to the diameter of the sphere the Pod is based on.  It is also the height of the Pod.  I based my Pod on the original blueprints from the film.  The origin of most of the master for both the Underwriter's model and the 1:12 scale kit is the same-- a digital file that was done at 1:1 and rescaled for each purpose: Underwriter's Pod model, 1:12 scale Pod kit and the Pods for both the large and small... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Scott,<br><br>Thanks for the reply. I have one other question. When you say '13&quot; diameter', what are you measuring from? The width of earmuffs? The height?  Basically, on what dimension(s) do I scale the drawings? <br><br>I ask because I'd like to build my own pod in 1/48th probably using the drawings in the Spaceship Handbook (unless you know of better ones available). This also prompted my question above as I'm curious how you built your pod master. While I have the Collect-aire kit,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The small Pod was done in SLA, but the Aries was not.  The masters for the large Pod are being built by hand because they are simply too large for the tank I had access to and because the amount of hand finishing required for the small Pod was what held up the darn thing so long.

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the behind-the-curtain view of the process Scott. I am curious however about one thing. I understood that the small pod and Aries masters were prepared with Stereo Lithography, hence the near perfect quality of the pieces. However it appears that you are doing the large pod and the Big-D, the &quot;old fashioned way&quot;. Why is that? Are the pieces just too large for Stereo lith?<br><br><br> ]]></description>
