Hello.

I look forward to sharing ideas with you guys!I usually can be found at the Hobbytalk forum.

Anyhoo, here is a subject dear to my heart, The Jupiter 2 from "Lost In Space". The model is the 18" 1/35 scale kit by Moebius. However I have done extensive modifications to it. Off the shelf and out of box, the kit represents the ship as it appeared in the last episodes of year three. I prefer the look of the ship from year one.Among other things I have added..
Working Hatches..
Ceiling Beams..
Several interior scratch built modifications..
the Launch Cradle from the first episode..

The model is a work in progress, But I thought you guys would enjoy some pics..If you guys are interested, I'll post more pics...

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

_very_ nice!  What scale is it?  Fond memories of the Jupiter 2 and its crew.  Mmmm, especially the female members...  ;)
