This caught my attention today, thanks to the Boing Boing website. It is a nice write up on the Chariot from Lost in Space: “Back to reality. In investigating the Lost in Space Chariot some 40+ years after the show was canceled, I came across a couple of unexpected and interesting connections. These include genuine [more]
These are just a few shots I took of the 18 inch Moebius Jupiter 2. It took four months to build. The light kit comes from VoodooFX. I also used fiber optics to give it a more realistic feel. Damon Wright
Probably the most famous scene involving the Chariot is with the giant Cyclops. I wanted to do something different with my Moebius Chariot model. I chose the Robinsons’ alien encounter on the way back to the Jupiter 2 after finding Prof. Robinson following their crash on Preplanus. The Crow’s Nest Models figures were painted from [more]
This is my “Lost In Space” Pod kit from Moebius. The kit was built pretty much straight out of the box. I did add a Robot (available as an individual kit), a modified 1/24th scale racing figure from my spares box (as John Robinson), the aftermarket base (available through CultTVman), and the lighting kit (the [more]
I’ve completed the first model of the frame. each of the 2 main decks have a clear plastic floor and it stands on its 3 landing gear or hangs from the special clip I created. After I completed the model I realized I should have kept the levels separate so that I could add all [more]
I am sharing with you photos I snapped of the Mobius LIS Pod kit I just completed. Not sure if you want to add them to your site or not, it is pretty much out of the box. The kit itself was an exceptional build, although I struggled with the lack of illustrations on the instructions. [more]
Finally completed the Lost in Space Chariot kit from Moebius. Gotta say I love the kit but it took me WAY too long to get up the nerve to mask the canopy. Thank God I bought the Aztek Dummy mask set from CultTVman. Scott Beckmann
Although I was never a fan of the original Lost in Space program, the models always had a wierd appeal to me. This model, released by Polar Lights, combines the original robot from Lost in Space with a new Dr. Smith figure and modified base. I particularly liked the idea of the contrast between [more]
I create conceptual and design layouts based on engineering guidelines for tooling and test equipment. I make models derived from my CAD free time, I’m currently printing and assembling a model of the support frame of the Jupiter 2 from the TV show “Lost in Space”. I’ve been collecting “Blueprints” of various ships and equipment [more]
I just got some new photos from Moebius of the Metal Jupiter 2. I don’t have a final ship date, but it looks like it is coming together. I still have a few available in the shop. Click here to Preorder
The Derelict is scratch built using styrofoam balls and cone, ping pong balls, beads, and clear sheet styrene. The Jupiter 2 is a Johnny Lightning ship. The background is from cafepress.com. The body of the Derelict is a 10″ ball and the forward section is a 4″ ball. The bases of the antennas are cut [more]
Well I am finally finished my lunar models 16.5 Jupiter 2 after 2 long years of persistent hard work. I studied the LIS videos for accurate coloring and detailing. This kit turned out very well but many alterations had to be made. I had to incorporate 2 styrene rings on upper and lower hull in [more]
This model also is build out of the box, without modifications. It has yet to be weathered, but Taylor says, “I shall weather them as soon as I get a smaller airbrush”. The New Jupiter’s overall paint color is 4 parts white and one part Dark Grey. The blue is Testors Sky Blue. He notes, [more]
Taylor built this kit completely out of the box. No modifications whatsoever. He used the color instructions and says it “flew together”. For this model, the overall color was MM Aluminium and the interior is MM Random Tan.
