I know, I know...couldn't help myself: bought the new 1/8 scale EVA Pod from Moebius. I'd built a 1/6 studio model of one Pod already; but this one has a fully detailed interior Cool
Here's a side by side pic of the two scales.

As promised, a little play by play into the construction/quality of the Moebius kit.
First: I thought that the pieces were crisp and fitted well. You'll have to be careful with certain holes in the main body (specially where the thrusters are placed) You'll have to find a dowel a little bit thinner than the hole and wrap it with sand paper to make sure it's round. Beside that, I've prepped the two halves and blocked the half moons (grab handles) with silicone.
Next: I'll spray a thick coat of silver to avoid any light bleed from the interior controls.

Here's the inside being build...careful with the decals on the instrument panels: the holes for the buttons are too tight Confused I ended up cutting those by hand to make sure that the decals fit Rolling Eyes

So, the interior is done; did some add-on box lights on one side only (there's a lot of space to add all kind of lights/batteries, etc.

Thanks guys The kit was very easy to put together; the parts were fitting well and it's engineered to make your life easy. The only minus were the decals: not fitting well over the buttons and the decals for the screens were too small (the edges are showing).

Apart from that, a kit to buy for sure!
