Easy there, Y3a. :)

Hey there is an article on the Seaview on CultTVman site written by David Merriman

Build the SETS as models of the upper and lower level(s) SETS!!

You guys will NEVER have ANY accurate Jupiter 2 model with AN INTERIOR If you try to fit and match up all the different scales. Polar lights already TRIED! HELLO!!


I think many know that it would never be accurate. What most want I think is a reasonable interpretation of what it could have been like, still incorporating the look of the exteriors and interiors. Again a blending of scales would have to be used. Theres no reason why we couldnt have a full interiored J2. Yes the interior would have to be scaled smaller in relation to the main hull, but thats ok because it would be a larger version. The Polar lights version was well done, they not only tried but they succeded.
As for the reactor core level it was seen in only one ep and really doesnt have to be included or could be as I stated above.

Build the SETS as models of the upper and lower level(s) SETS!

Also build a 10" Gemini 12 model with the bigger, flatter fusion core, no gear, and the blinking light instead of spinning effect would be cool too.
10" is about the correct size for the SPFX model used in the show.

Hello, All...

That is what I'd like to see...but maybe a 2 inch Gemini XII size, only so it would be in scale with the 12 inch Jupiter 2 for display purposes. Also, maybe if a Gemini XII was done as a kit, a separate kit containing the launch cradle and 3-tractors could also be developed; maybe calling it a "Lost In Space" launch pad kit. That way, builders have the option of building a lone Gemini XII, or buying the companion launch site kit to display it as it appeared in the pilot ep.

I'd probably buy both kits, and display them differently as my mood changes.

Correction...maybe a 12 inch Gemini XII size...
