The Work Of Russell Lane, EVA Pod

It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to a master of the art of model building, direct from the backwoods of London England, from a disused shed along the eastern slopes. Give it up for Mr. Russell Lane! 
 Here are some images of Russell's Atomic City 1/12 scale EVA Pod with all the extras from 2001 a space odyssey, and here in his own words is his description.
 EVA Pod is Atomic City's and is 1:12 scale. The decals are Paragraphix. A few adaptations to the kit's interior. Nylon balls were added for the camera lenses.  Lit with 10 5W mains powered LEDs. I always make my own bases/stands. It took about four months to build. I only waited about.......oooooooo.... 35-years for that kit!

From Wikipedia"
 
The EVA Pod is a fictional spacecraft used for extra-vehicular activity seen in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. The Jupiter spacecraft Discovery One carries three of these small, one-man maintenance vehicles.
A section of the pod appears briefly in the background in a scene from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace as a tribute to the film.
