Hello and My Year one Moebius Jupiter 2 build

BEATLEPAUL · June 19, 2011, 04:50:06 PM

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...
