Real life size POD!

Archive: 112 posts


As a hobby I like to make cardboard and foam models of space ships and airplanes, so EatMyDst and I had an idea, we could make a life size model of the POD from LBP.

Ignore the date, the camera is a little confused.

We intentionally put all the labels on the front side to make it look good from the back.

Looking through the POD and into the POD lol.


Sadly we didn't have a sackboy to put in it so we used a stuffed animal skunk.


After two days of hand cramping work to cut it all up we finally finished, and I'm pretty proud of how it came out.

Pictures aren't showing up. Maybe upload to Photobucket or ImageShack or Tinypic?

The LittleBigNetwork attachments don't embed here I guess.

My suggestion now is to take it apart, buy a shipping container full of cardboard, measure and draw each component, write some construction instructions and sell it as a kit on Ebay.2010-08-17 09:15:00

Anyone know of a flat cutout pod image online?
Something like this (http://www.littlebigplanetoid.com/images/uploads/sackboy_papercraft_cutout.jpg), but for a pod?

EDIT: Um yeah, what strangepom said.

Thanks again everyone!

For anyone who's interested here is the sketchup model we used to build it:

http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=22102&d=1282018022

And the plans:

http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=22101&d=1282018020

Just blow them up so the little bracket thing becomes six inches wide.

This is great, but is it really life-sized? Sackboy is 8cm tall. Hopefully you got the Collector's Edition of LBP2, you can put the sackboy plush doll in the pod!2010-08-18 23:09:00

With a few modifications, I used SackRacer77's plans to create the pod as a valentines gift. (Filling it with a sackboy, flowers, and sweets) By making the braces and circles interlock I was able to make it without the use of glue. The windows and tube can be dislodged with a little force. The rest takes real effort to "unlock."
