Here are some images of AMT's Jupiter 2 from the 1998 film "Lost in space"
From "Lost in Space Wiki"
Jupiter 2 was a spaceship designed and constructed by the United Global Space Force and was meant to take the Robinson Family to the planet Alpha Prime orbiting in the solar system of Alpha Centauri.
It was here, that the Robinson Family would help with completion of the
Hyper gate; which thereby, would allow the one back on earth to connect
the two so as to allow the human species to journey to another planet
capable of sustaining life.
The Jupiter 2,consisted of a shell, that resembled the saucer
shaped star ship, from the series, while situated within a similar
launch pad gantry system. The Jupiter 2 would lift off by conventional
propulsion means into orbit and once above the Earth, would break apart
revealing the actual Jupiter 2 star ship.
However, the mission was jeopardized when a lone rogue spy for
the Global Sedition Force could sabotage the whole operation and thereby
prevent the Robinson Family from reaching their destination. The
mission was a failure and the crew and the spaceship Jupiter 2
were now lost in empty space. The Jupiter 2 was being drawn toward the
sun, and Major West felt using the ship experimental drive, would propel
the ship away from danger. Unfortunately, this was an uncharted jump
and the Jupiter 2 leaped into uncharted deep space.
According to Lost in Space manuals and blueprints, published at the
time, there was supposed to be a lower deck, where new versions of the
Space Pod and Space Chariot were stored. Although, in the actual movie,
nothing of that sort was seen.
First up has it been that long since that movie was done.....shit i am old. The model looks awesome and i really love the pics as it adds to the space theme. I am not a big Sci Fi fan but this one does look like something i would possibly buy.
