Thank you! These builds are always fun and a learning experience for me. I'm not an old pro like some out there...;-)

Those shows had their good and bad. Loved the FX and production design, etc. Lost in Space started off as a more serious sci-fi series and then went total camp.

Thanks! Not sure what you mean though. The kit itself doesn't come with figures at all. Mine are 3D printed from Shapeways -- third party. But that aside, to me, figures from some source -- if to scale with the kit -- were a must.

Thank you! You should check out the completed model videos.

🤣😂 I think you should!! LOL! Thanks my friend -- glad you like what I did with this!

Thank you, Rick! Starting on a Galileo shuttlecraft from TOS Trek Q1 next year. It'll be a diarama with lights and sound as well.

@planetpopvideos4418 I look forward to it, thanks!

Thank you! Be sure to catch the completed model video!

Definitely! The chariot might have been a kit vehicle that could be assembled on-planet, but even if so...no, the rest of that would not fit. That thing is like a Tardis inside. Lol

The basic design (floor plan) is fine it's the scale thats not right @@planetpopvideos4418

Loved this show as a kid and I always wondered the same thing.

@johncato4412 It's been a source of discussion among fans for years, I think. The fact is, Irwin Allen didn't put that much thought into his shows. LOL! Another fan question is how did the flying sub fit inside the Seaview (with the bridge) on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

@@planetpopvideos4418 I always wandered about the torpedo room on Seaview. TV series showed it in the missile room behind the sail. Did the tubes run the length of the sub and hanger for flying sub was in the way.

Yeah, I always say there are better models than mine out there. I'm not trying to compete with anyone and every build is a new (almost) learning experience. I'm not sure if the model you saw was the same kit (or a restoration of the original visual effects model -- which probably didnt have motorized control panels in the model itself as mine does) or what, but again, I would have needed quieter motors for this -- OR a good way to soundproof it. But trust me, just mounting those motors was a big pain in the ass. So, yeah...the motors are louder than I'd like but it's ok. IF I ever have to work with motors again, I'll take the lessons learned from this build and do better next time. LOL!

And also keep in mind the motors are in the main control panel -- NOT the fusion core! The motors are spinning graphics for the radar screens and there are 3 of them.

Hi Nelson! I should have the finished model up tomorrow.

Hi RG! And thank you!! had three sources: 1.) Model and light kits: hdamodelworx.com/Lost-in-Space-Jupiter-2-Lighting-Kit-for-the-Moebius-J2-plastic-model-kit-by-Moebius-Models_p_176.html hdamodelworx.com/LOST-IN-SPACE-JUPITER-2-50th-ANNIVERSARY-135-SCALE-MODEL-KIT_p_179.html I also used the Paragrafix photoetch parts: hdamodelworx.com/Jupiter-2-Photoetch-and-Decal-Set-by-Paragrafix-for-Moebius-Models-kit-913_p_213.html I also used a third party light kit for the circuit wall: hdamodelworx.com/Circuit-Wall-EnhancementReplacement-Kit-for-Moebius-Models-18-Jupiter-2%E2%84%A2-by-FEDORATRON_p_900.html Note -- The circuit wall lighting runs at 9v power. The Polar Lights light kit runs at 5.7v. So you will have to buy a stepper board that will boost the power for the circuit wall. I bought mine at an electronic parts store. The board was around $10. Again, radar motors are not provided. You'll be on your own to get those and add them in if you want to. The Polar Lights lighting kit only provides Lights for the radar screens. You will end up having to add LEDs or SMDs if you want all the wall panel buttons to light up. Those are not included in the light kit. My point is, if you want complete accuracy, you will have to add some things yourself. HDA Modelworx is an outstanding dealer and you can get additional LEDs and SMDs from them. They also have some LIS figures, although these were not available when I built my model. (Mine cane from a 3D printing company -- www.shapeways.com. You will need the 1/35 scale figures if you buy from them): hdamodelworx.com/search.asp?keyword=Jupiter+2&sortby=0&page=2&catid= If you want sound, you'd have to add a recordable sound chip and wire that into your system. That is separate too. You can order those on Amazon. Oh -- and that would run off the main power supply at 5 7v. Hope this helps! :-)

Simply brilliant. What an outstanding creation.

@jamesroseby3823 Thank you my friend! Did you see the video of the completed model? This is one I made when I was testing the sound before I sealed up the ship.

@@planetpopvideos4418 yes and that’s beautiful🥰🤩

@@planetpopvideos4418 No, but now I’ll look for it! 👍👍

I could, but it wouldn't be cheap by the time you add up all the supplies and time to build it. Mine was expensive to build. Not everything you need comes in the box. There's a lot of third party stuff that goes into building one like mine. BUT -- if I DID build another one, it would be better than mine because I learned some things as I was building this.

Yes. Watch the final video. This is not the finished model in this video.

I don't build on commission. Some do, but they aren't cheap.

I think Boyd on the Trekworks channel here on KZfaq still does commissioned builds -- you might ask him for an estimate. Although you would have to tell him if you want the radar motors and added lights if you want them. They are not included in the basic light kit from Polar Lights. Same is true if you want the Paragrafix photoetch replacement parts and the Fedoratron circuit wall. I did a lot of customizing when I built mine. And I don't think he lights ALL the lighted panels on the ship like I did. And you'd have to tell him if you wanted to add sound. I have not seen that he ever adds sound to his builds.
