When Moebius came out with a Lost in Space Jupiter 2 model I knew I had to build one. Unfortunately it had very little detail. I spent a good amount of time detailing it, although I was never really happy with my interior painting and lighting. I designed and built some circuitry to create the fusion engine core lighting on the bottom of the ship using some CMOS counters and LED drivers. I then put a small sound sampler chip with a tiny bit of memory inside and recorded a sample of the ship taking off from the original TV Series pilot. It could playback the sample and accelerate the engine lights to simulate takeoff with the sound fx of the original show!
