The pad is about 2.5x the width of the Aries. There are something like 144 lights, about 35 on a side. It's huge. The elevator pad itself though is barely larger than the Aries, but that has no lights attached.

Picture added:

The octagon in the middle rep's the aries body with the four corners being spots for the landing feet. The next square out is the elevator platform, followed by the pad itself ringed with 140 lights. There is a tiny-tiny row of numbers along the top edge of the lights. That was me counting.

This is a (full size crop) frame grab from the bluray version.

2.5x is an eyeball approximate, as is the light count. It could be 34 on a side.

When I pre-ordered my Command module the other year, I was hunting around for a display method that has become the de facto standard for all my 2001 models. Home depot has 18" 'pine rounds' about 1.5" thick. For my eventual Big Aries purchase, I'm thinking of getting a steel pipe from a plumbing dept. and mounting aries on that, then hanging it on the wall. THe CMK will get this treatment too. I am already hanging my Antenna module like this and the Satellite models that are out there. My EVApod when I get to building that will be wall mounted. The idea is to have all my 2001 models wall mounted like old-style 'hunting trophies'.

Much like this


EDIT: Forgot to mention: These 'pine rounds' cost under $10 at home depot.
