I never get tired of seeing the Jupiter 2 lift off and land. The sound is truly one of a kind.

🏍️ I was mesmerized by the Jupiter 2 when i was a kid. Used to draw it all the time. 🖍️

I am in my 60s and I still do.

Who doesn't fantasize being with family and friends in this cozy flying Winnebago-like spaceship sharing a thrilling camping ride through the Galaxy?!

Better than what the effects people did in the 60s! Wow, wow and wow 👏

Magnificent!.

Spectacular!

This video is superb. The models are incredible. What a great hobby! When I was in grade school I used to doodle the Jupiter 2 all the time. I could never understand how they fit that giant engine room in there lol. I still get a thrill looking at the J2 and this video is very satisfying lol. I got to see the real models at the L.A. Museum of TV and Radio exhibition on October 16, 1997, the day of takeoff. Mark Goddard was there still looking very fine. They had the full sized Robot, and models of Jupiter 2 and the Chariot. It was fantastic. Great video. Thanks.

Fantastic recreation!

Awesome models, irwin would be impressed

wow! these look as good as the show1

better in some ways actually.

First time that I've seen a J2 model with working retracts ... Excellent!

Lovely models that capture that unique feel of the classic series i am 63 and vividly remember watching this new US series on TV here in the UK 🇬🇧 😀

Man this looks almost as good as the show lift offs were...great job!

Great model work and great video production! As a kid, I missed the original run of "The Derelict", the only 1st season episode in which the landing legs were seen. For a whole year, I didn't know the J2 had them. When the 2nd season started in Sept. 1966, the 3rd episode "The Ghost Planet" had a soft landing sequence... I remember just being blown away by the landing leg extension and retraction. Then not seen again until numerous 3rd season episodes. I never understood why all three legs needed steps, though.

The quality of this work is extraordinary! 100% professional!

Perfect!!A huge well done!!!!!

It is the most beautiful and aerodynamic ship and that unforgettable landing gear and ladder at the same time

Totally professional! Couldn’t be better. Fantastic work. Congratulations!

I like how Major West and Prof. Robinson are manning the controls and flying the ship.

I do too! The extra flashes of light from the Jupiter was really good!

Fantastic shots, love to see a behind the scenes video.

Absolutely brilliant!!

Damn near better than the original effects

Pretty cool. My favourite was the Space Pod inside the Derelict, something we never saw in the series. Love the articulation of the Space Pod's radar dish and the J2's legs retracting.

Actually far superior to the actual 1960s show! I would have liked some landings as well.

great job. the landing legs actually work better than the real thing from the show. j2 always gonna be my fav ship

I always loved the sound of it taking off and landing. In the first episode and pilot, not so much.

Simply magnificent! Very nice work!

Docking the space pod into the Jupiter 2 would be cool. Video both inside (receiving) and departure.

That's some of the best work I've seen yet! It could have been used on the show!

The original Space Pod filming miniature was quite an interesting little model. It had several animated parts. In addition to the large rotating antenna on top, the small periscope twisted back and forth and the right hand scanner on the from rocked up and down. They were all controlled by linkages to a single servo motor that operated all the animated features of the model simultaneously. Excellent job on your models, BTW.

I can watch this all day!😀

Great Job . I've started Both J - 2's the small one that has full details on upper and lower decks also about a foot in diameter . Then the Larger w/ Single Main Deck that's about 2 feet in diameter and finally both the Pod and Chariot witch needs a Lot of masking . And last but not least I've finished the Classic L O S Diorama of the giant alien cyclops and the J - 2 from the reimagine movie . Almost forgot I'm also building the 1 : 6'th scale B 9 . Yea ... No wonder I have nothing to do .

HOT! Love the lighting on these beautiful models .BRAVO!

Damn! AWESOME

Incredible!

wow. it’s so good i thought these must have been outtakes from the original show. well done

Excellent, Love your video ! You did a fantastic Awesome job ! So realistic both sounds & sight including the swirling dust from the planet surface scene when blasting off.. All totally Awesome ! I admire the fusion core lights both the Jupiter 2 & the Space Pod also the scanner lights on top of J2. Both look excellent & let alone the working retractable landing gear awesome... All look fantastic !!

Thank you Steve for your kind comments.

Great practical effects well done!

Excellent beyond cool!

BRILLIANT....

That Jupiter 2 engine sound was always so awe-inspiring to me. I've never been able to replicate it, even on synthesizers. I wonder what they used in the 1960's to get that specific sound?

Super cool! Great sound too.

EXCELLENT work!

Thanks for great memories

GREAT WORK.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that in the pilot, the landing gear would been rendered inoperable since it was buried under several hundred tons of Jupiter 2. Only when the Dr Smith character was added did it make an appearance. Also, the drive dome would have been sheered away or irreparably damaged during the crash landing.

Very well done

well done, watched a railroad video first. big like

Superb job

Amazing work, looks fantastic!!

Followed the link from Facebook! Awesome!

That is just incredible!!!

The space pod as I remember sounded like a power hand drill

Super cool!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Incredible work!! Just as I recall the original shots of takeoffs and flying also from my childhood in the 60's. I would LOVE to see how you did the electronics for the fusion core and especially the overhead bubble. I don't like the few kits out there have a couple LEDs chasing on a board for the bubble. The real one looked like yours. Something like a then current day police bubble light. And then the landing Legs!! Works of art! C'mon man, don't be stingy show us how you did it. Share your knowledge with mankind. I built the first replica Knight Rider KITT 2000 back in 1988 from scratch and all my stuff worked. Dash, scan light EVERYTHING. Now there are KITS (no pun intended) out there you can buy or about 3 diff companies will turnkey them for you. Anyway If I just had some tips I think I'd know which direction to go in. Thanks!!!

I keep expecting to see Dr. Smith running up to the ship as it's lifting off screaming "WAIT!!! WAIT FOR ME!!!!! WHAAAAAOOOHHH!!!!!"

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

Excellent!

GREAT JOB!!!!! LOVE IT..

It cracks me up the space pod is almost as big as the Jupiter 2

What parts did you use to get the J2 landing legs to deploy and retract? I have the 18" J2 from Mobius and would like to get them to work. Great job!

Awesome job man. I love these LIS ships. I was pissed at the recent remake movie when they had what was a reasonable facsimile of the OG ship break apart to reveal the odd shaped splotch that was the new ship, awful. Not a great movie but could have at least left the ship intact, certainly would have increased my enjoyment (or tolerance) of it.

@tjpreds1575

I agree.

Great work. The only thing that doesn't quite measure up to the original FX shots are your smoke effects, only because, I suspect, your models aren't as big as the ones used by Lydecker. Other than that, not only do you faithfully recreate the original shots, but, improve on them, particularly in the case of the fuel barge. I particularly liked the next to last sequence of the J2 taking off from the night planet; not a shot we ever saw on the show. You could have made it even better by recreating the interior of the J2, but, I understand that you reproduced the model as it is seen in the series.

Thanks for your feedback. More to come soon in 4K quality.

In the first season there were sea bathispheres or ball shaped precursers of the pod one episode showed will going up in one with a.balloon attached

The ice princess. J5 , and IDAK are ready for you..

Could you show the making of the video, special effects for the lack of a better word?Thank you for bringing back childhood memories.

Well done!👍.. Sadly Mark Goddard just recently passed away 🙏

Just found this. You have created a really faithful version of the fusion core. Kudos for that. I have not seen any others that I like enough to want to put into my J2 when I build it. They are often WAY too bright and regular. I love the landing gear retractions. Do they reverse as well- deploying rather than folding up?

I have two mini motors which spin the top scanner and fusion core lights. The rotation is speed adjustable. The fusion core light pattern can be changed easily by switches and multiple wires that run through a slip ring. Everything including batteries are housed within a cylinder which screws up into the hull. The lights are squared shaped white LED type.

I would love to see that mechanism. Fascinating!

It's sad to think that most people under the age of 20 will see this as inferior to CGI. It isn't. It has depth and volume and atmosphere, something CGI can never quite duplicate.

So, are there any drawings of the space pod?

What would be the cost to make Jupiter 2 with retracting legs, and light interior? Thank You.

far out man.

There no way! That ship as 2 decks.

Your timing is a bit off, the sounds should reach their crescendo right at the moment of liftoff as opposed tojust after.

Jupiter 2 is a stupid craft.

That saucer could never have contained the pod, the chariot, the jet pack,the hydroponic growing system etc,etc. it was hardly large enough for the people. And they were sent into the unknown with no armament for the ship just evasive action. Irwin Allan did voyage to the bottom of the sea. The Seaview at least looked large enough for the flying sub.
