Jupiter 2 Inspired Theater

[cyberpred]

Talked with the artist last night.

Here is the mural I designed. This will be painted on the back wall. As you look out the windows of the viewport this will be the view. The mural has been superimposed over the real viewport to see what it will look like.

Let me know what you think.

I give some major props to the person who paints that. It is going to look great back there.

Looks great - the over-the-top nature matches the show! Perhaps you could tie the mural in with the theme by including the "Space Pod" in there, as though you were waiting for it to dock/return/monitoring it on a mission?

 

[cyberpred]

OK

Where would the space pod go. This is a challenge for you guys. Photoshop it in the mural where you guys think it would look best.

Rotate the Pod about 20º to the right, just so it isn't 90º upright. Big enough to see. Small enough to have to look for it.

It's beautiful, but "painted on the back wall"?? Seems like painting it on a seperate panel (or panels) would make the mural easier to make, install, and keep if you ever leave. But no matter how you do it- that looks fantastic!

The reason for the continuous wall is that. If I painted it on panels the depth and illusion of reality would not be there.

By the way. We are also having him paint a smaller version of it to hang on the wall.

As another vague idea, you could replace that planet on the left hand side of your mural with a partial view of the rather sinister "Derelict" - the alien spacecraft which captures the Jupiter 2 in "The derelict":

Modern animation of the same:

Nice idea but the design is from the boss. You guys married know what I mean.

I am amazed of the excitement for this project. I of course am very excited but it also seems there are alot of people also.

Cary

 

[knightdriver2001]

A lot of us don't have to room to do that stuff so we have to live our dreams through your build!

And yes, it is exciting!

 

[cyberpred]

LOL

This week more mudd and tape and sanding. Then texture.

So I suppose this image is out of question for the porthole! :lol

 

[cyberpred]

If you would like to make a large transparency that I can backlite that may be cool.

Ha! I was born in '67, and grew up watching Lost in Space through the 70's in Australia. At the time, I even wrote a letter to the TV station, and received a signed photo of Dr Smith and the B9 for my efforts.

I subscribe to your thread, and follow your posts with jealousy. You have awakened my fandom for the show - stronger than I though possible (and yes, I realise I am "slightly" annoying about it! )

In maker terms, though - I haven't made anything since high school art classes! (I am a pilot by trade - I produce nothing in my work!)

I am a fan of makers, not a maker myself

 

[cyberpred]

I am glad you like it. I too have grown up with the show and have always wanted to do this. Almost ready to prime.

Looking great, Cary!

Hey on your porthole "stars" there...I would recommend backlit film. I think you'd be happier with the results. I've dealt with these folks here a couple times (just recently for a 40" x 16" version for the 34" Enterprise model I'm doing.) They are very affordable.
