The Chariot from "Lost in Space"

The figure is seriously excellent - you should make molds and sell them - Undercut the resin gangsters!
Lovely finish on the chariot.

Dude, this is brilliant, the work you did on the figures is off the hook crazy.

Any chance you can tell us or show us how you transformed these characters?

Very nice build! even as a kid I wondered how this fit in the Jupiter 2. Personally there was never enough Marta Kristen in the show.

I would love to see them do a re-boot of this show... Oh wait, They tried.

Thank you kindly; it was the shock brought on from seeing the prices of the figure sets that inspired me to just have a go at them myself. If I made molds from these, I'd have to tear the transparency off, which would pretty much destroy it because it was applied with Gorilla Glue, thanks to it's warped condition.

I think the "fit" issues was intended to be "just pretend it works", at least that was the reasoning I used when it came to them girls! ;)

The base facial contours were already there on the figures, but the "paint" applied at the factory was cartoonish! As far as posing the figures was concerned, it was basically a matter of using the razor saw, scalpels, super glue, and filler to dismember them and get them in the pose I wanted. The figure representing "Will" had to be sectioned so he'd be the right size. Facial re-painting was simply a couple shades of flesh tone acrylic, then let the natural shadows to the rest.
Oh yeah, and REASONABLE eyes... not alien eyes! lol

Lost in Space "could" have been as iconic as Star Trek, had they continued on the early first season storylines. Most of my recolections are restricted to those episodes, intentionally.
