I was going through the most recent Previews catalog and came across a listing for a reissue of the Fantastic Voyage TAS Voyager kit. I once knew someone who had this kit way way back and never managed to get one for myself. Now is my chance and I've gone ahead and ordered one.

Here's (http://www.culttvman.biz/cgi-bin/Commerce.exe?preadd=action&key=MOEB-04&reference=/cgi-bin/Commerce.exe%3Fsearch%3Daction%26keywords%3D%26sea rchstart%3D0%26template%3DPDGCommTemplates\cult\Se archResult.html) a pic.

Anyone know anything else about this kit or did I miss the news earlier?

Hi Warped.

Yes, Moebius has been the big news around here for a while now. That is the upcoming Moebius Models' release of the Voyager. It was originally scheduled for August but I think its slipped a few weeks into September.

In case you haven't heard, Moebius is also planning a 39 inch tv version Seaview for late this year and in 2008 is planning a Lost in Space Chariot and Space Pod. More info here:

Geez, where ya been Warped ol' warp? We've been talking about it for months! You can preorder it at CultTVMan's site, and at Starship Modeler.

^^ I've been occupied I suppose. Anyway there are a few '60s and '70s kits I wouldn't mind laying my hands on. Something to sooth some of the disappointment of Polar Lights and its possibilities being killed off.

I think Moebius will do a great job of picking up where Polar Lights left off.

You mean you DON'T KNOW — you actually haven't heard what's been happening with Moebius Models? There's been subspace chatter about it for months!

(Somehow, everything always gets back to Star Trek.)

Jupiter 2 may come late 2008. Moebius is trying different designs to see if he can make his better than PL version. Everyone is opting for an 18" or larger version.

Moebius did let it slip that they're doing a LIS Chariot and Space Pod next year.

Only 'cause you brought it up. ;)

The Voyager from the animated show never really did it for me-always thought it was a bad looking knock off of the Proteus. The Chariot, Pod, Jupiter 2 (possibly) and Seaview however I'll definitely look forward to.

While I never understood the glaring lack of a Proteus model, I did like the Voyager myself.

I agree. It would have been nice to have a big (perhaps 1/35th scale) plastic kit of the Proteus with figures and full interior, but as sci-fi modelers, we take what we can get and are thankful for it. Maybe someday. Hopefully sooner than later.

It's gonna make a fine TOS "heavy shuttlecraft" once I stick some nacelles on it. ;)

Not a terribly original design, but then, it WAS a cartoon.It would have been nice to have a big (perhaps 1/35th scale) plastic kit of the Proteus with figures and full interior, but as sci-fi modelers, we take what we can get and are thankful for it.

Hopefully sooner than later.Well, there's always the pretty accurate Lunar Models vacform-resin kit, for those who can afford it and have the patience to build it!It's gonna make a fine TOS "heavy shuttlecraft" once I stick some nacelles on it. ;)I can see all kinds of possibilites for the Voyager: Klingon or Romulan shuttle, Harry Mudd's ship, family space yacht, space bus (well, that's what it looks like to begin with!)

Not everybody is a fan of the ship. Regardless, its a highly sought after model and it ought to be a nice seller for Moebius.

:thumbsup: This I gotta see.

It'd be nice if they could. I can't be the only one who'd love a nice 1/24 scale TOS shuttlecraft. And, of course, there's the 1/350 TOS E PL never got around to.

Wellll, we may not get Trek out of them. Frank has already said the license is unbelievabley expensive.

Not to worry, once the new film comes out, I bet we'll have a whole new wish list.

^^ Yeah, but will that be the ol' stuff or the kewl new stuff?

I would love to have the LM version but he has stopped making it.
The last time I talked to him he stated that he would re-release it
but so far......nothing.
