Lost in Space movie version Jupiter 2 model build.

[@viceroy7792]

most folks I know did not like this movie that much- but I did. And I REALLY liked the re-interpretation of the Jupiter 2. I can see how there were some minor influences from the Millennium Falcon. This is a nice ship tho. I appreciate how you tackled it!

Thanks, I thought it was a cool design with other than the engine nozzle thing...lol

[@Iams001]

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! It looks perfect!!!!

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks friend!!

[@yodhanhunter]

Very cool. I just scored this kit at my local hobby shop. The lighting you did on this kit is amazing.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks, it was a fun build!

[@TheDavidPoole]

The design looks very Chris Foss inspired. Great build.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

I thought it was cool

Hello that is excellent , i am currently building this kit and have managed to find a set of the chasing lights . It took some searching as im in the UK and was able to source some in Europe , ty for the tips on lighting , for the rear engines i have used some bulbs from the flickering candles and put them in series so that you get the pulsing effect , i also used these in my Razor crest model and they run very well on a 9 volt battery , loved the design for the enclosed lower lighting would never have thought of using card from the box , ingenious . ty so much for the vid .

@@zeroone5097 Thanks!! Good luck on the build and send me some pics when you're done [e-mail]

Very cool! I remember the old TV series, but I haven't seen the movie.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thank you, the movie has it's good and bad.

There's also the 3 season Netflix series. Which is cool looking but alters the original massively. Some being - dad is a cro-magnum mentally and youngest boy doesn't test well - lol. The movie ruined it with the cartoony pet, otherwise a sequel worthy and series worthy too.

Great job on the engine nozzles. Mixing the two paint colors together really turned out awesome. Since this kit is around 1/144 scale a eazy way to get figures for the bridge is to use N scale rail road figures. The paint job in the side detail pieces really looked nice, it's to bad they got covered up by the plateing.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks! Yeah, there was some really nice detail that got completely covered.

[@sdmproductions2949]

Looks awesome brother.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks bud!!

[@leroystea8069]

Awesome job. I never cared much for the ship in the film. Seemed overly complicated and with the vents that opened up during hyperdrive, seemed a bit silly. Love how you did this though with the lighting effects.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks!!

[@MarkHevingham]

Great video about a horrid kit. I built two of these and did not enjoy either build. However, could you share the link for that rotating LED array as it has very large LEDs! Thanks

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks will do.

[@Spenceley]

The design of this makes me wonder if the movie was at all a response to SeaQuest's brief popularity.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

It definitely was a strange design.

[@georgevavoulis4758]

This is such an ugly soaceship . They should have designed a uniform flying saucer shape .

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

I like the design it's just not Lost in Space Jupiter 2.

[@stevenserna910]

I agree, its definitely not the J2. Its a flying egg. I realize its a sci-fantasy ship, so is the USS Enterprise, but J2 has not one flight control surface on its design that would be aerodynamic in the least. I think that's where designers get lazy and just declare, "Its an anti-gravity drive ship, with atmospheric compensators."

Beautiful model

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thank you!
