These are a few modeling links of interest I've dug up.
- Lunar Models
http://www.lunarmodelsonline.com/
Sells a wide variety of garage kits.
Excellent source for Irwin Allen kits. I have WAY too many of
Lunar's kits. Building their kits taught me how to build resin
and styrene kits. Their kits can be built by a novice, but
you'll make mistakes. I know, I have two Seaviews, and only one
is well built!
- Comet Miniatures
http://www.comet-miniatures.com/
Looking for import models? Call them, but
they're in England so account for the time zone differences. I
ordered my Wallace & Gromit kits from them. Nice
folks. English accent. Say no more!
- D. F Howard
http://www.dfhoward.com/
Sells Sci-Fi kits and Jupiter 2 Fusion core light
kits for Polar Lights and Lunar Models. I have the light kits in
3 of my J2 models, and they're great. Check out their links page
as well for great info!
- Monsters in Motion
http://www.monstersinmotion.com/
They sell a wide variety of kits and are very friendly.
Got their 18" XL5 model and it's really nice.
- Skyhook Models
http://www.skyhookmodels.com
Sells Garage kits of various Sci-Fi ships and
replacement seats & landing pads for the Polar Lights Jupiter
2. Excellent kit of Futurama's Planet Express delivery ship!
- CultTVman's Modeling Page
http://www.CultTVman.com/
Can't say enough about his site, except I should
have started up my web programming a few years earlier! If you're
looking for something, someone on his site will know where it is.
- Thomas Models
http://www.thomasmodels.com/
I've order product from them before and it took a
while, but they seem to be getting caught up on orders. Great
source for Star Trek decals.
- Jim James's Polar Lights Jupiter 2 Decal Set
http://www.culttvman.com/jim_james__jupiter_2_decals.html
Off CultTVman's site. Download and print
yourself, or order a set ready to go.
- Dremel
http://www.dremel.com/html/home_fr.html
What can't be done with these great little
tools? I have the portable one and it does 90% of the work on my
kits.

Modeling Stuff I'd like to try but haven't:
- The Fluorescent Co./FLO-CO
http://www.flo-co.com/index.shtml
This company sells fluorescent lights in pencil
& toothpick diameters. Light up those tight spots in any
kits with these! I'm this close to buying a bunch for my
Enterprise kits.
- Federation Models
http://www.federationmodels.com/
Distributors of Resin Starship Model Kits. If
I had the time and the money... I'd have just about every kit on this
site. Looks good and their stuff has been recommended by
others.
- Falcon Kits
http://www.falconkits.com/
They make new parts for the Star Wars AMT/Ertl
Millennium Falcon that really make it look like the studio
model. New side panels and cockpit interior. I've had the
conversion kit for about a year now and haven't had the time to finish
it, but it looks really great.
- Bel Inc. Model Decal Paper
http://store.yahoo.com/beldecal/moddecpap.html
White and Clear Decal paper for Ink Jet and dye
sublimation printers.

Some Lost In Space links:
- The Good Friars Page
http://www.angelfire.com/scifi/goodfriar/
Has a variety of 3D rendering from Sci-Fi themes,
including Lost In Space. Nice renderings of what the Pod,
Chariot & Gemini 12 would look like if they were included in the
LIS movie from 1998.
- Rodney's Lost in Space - The TV Series
http://www.virtualheartland.com/listv/index.html
A nice site dedicated to the original series.
Some interesting links as well.
- Rodney's Lost in Space - The Motion Picture
http://www.virtualheartland.com/lismovie/index.html
Same guy, has two sites. This one is about
the movie obviously. Great selection of movie images.
- The Lost in Space Australia Fan Club
http://www.lisa.org.au/
Huge site with lots of interesting facts and
stuff. Amazing how big LIS is around the world! Even a
sneak peek at a proposed new LIS TV series.
- Alpha Control Home Page
http://www.alphacontrol.com/
If you want the chance to actually see the original
Jupiter 2 viewport set, these people have it! If you're in their
area, go see it.
