Paul,
What about the etched set for the panels?

(The stock gear has to be installed before the interior is installed due to the locking arrangement at the top of the stair portion.)

And of course...Insane Jupiter 2 fanatics like myself need to get that head start on constructing the mechanics for working gear. I already have the motor and gearbox for the rotating fusion core and spinning "V" in the bubble. I'm gonna try LED's all the way this time, and spin the battery pack on the shaft so I can forget having to engineer brushes n such. |

Gaétan,
I'm just finishing up the designs before sending them off for approval. (Actually, the etch design's complete, I'm working on the matching decals right now.) The timing caught me a little flat footed as I thought I had a couple of more weeks. I'm hoping to have the etch / decal set ready for the kit's launch, but it's all contingent on how quickly I get the artwork approval.

Anyway, after got my hands on my J2, I'll wait a couple off weeks before start building (the pain, the pain!) to see what those genius from the aftermarket have to us.
Remember the amazing paragrafix chariot etched set. Unfortunately, I don't have money (and space) for two j2 kits plus etched set, decals set, landing gears, lightining kits, etc.

I don't know about most of you, but I'm building mine right out of the box. I saw the prototype at Chiller Theatre last week, and unless you're really nit-picky, I think it looks just fine as-is.
Great work, Dave!

My only addition will be the "Hero" gear. I like the beefy-er (for lack of a better term) look of the hero gear. The live action set gear looks good too but I am not building the live action J2. Mine will be the hero J2 although it will have a full interior which is something the hero never had. I guess I am building an amalgam of both! 
Thank goodness that Moebius only used the live set gear and not the whole live set exterior! I always thought the live set J2 lacked the beauty and gracefull contours that the "Hero" had. One beautiful saucer to be sure!  |
