I watch full episodes of old tv shows on Youtube.

Me too. The Untouchable is on there, I was watching that for a while and Highway Patrol too. Right now I'm watching a Brit sci-fi show from the early 80's, Blake's 7.

I didn't build it, Angel. I just got photos off the net. :D 

Check out Atlantis Model and Toy Company's website. The old Aurora Invaders UFO is available. Wave makes a 1/48 Adamski-type Flying Saucer

It comes with clear domes so you can install LEDs. I have the 1/72 Haunebu German Flying Saucer. It's the same kit, parts and sizewise,  as the Adamski  kit, except for the clear domes. Another couple of cool flying saucer kits are  the 1/35 Moebius 913 LIS Jupiter 2,

This kit is 28" in diameter. The upper and lower domes are molded in clear styrene. 

I have two Jupiter 2s with lighting kits and a C-57D which will receive the lighting treatment also. I bought a couple hundred feet of fiber optic filament in various diameters to use in illuminating the flashing panel lights in the J2 and C-57D.

Here's my Forbidden Planet C-57D kit. It's as big as a coffee table!

Ain't it great? You could bury Jimmy Hoff in the box.  Too bad that R2 discontinued it. The 1/144 version has nothing on this in terms of sheer size and detail.

Yep, it's pretty wicked. I had a large vac kit of the War of the Worlds Martian space ship too, but sold it off. It was about 16" inches or so wide, at least as far as I recall.

I have the smaller Polar Lights Deluxe C-57D Spacecruise kit, were engine dome lights and spins. I posted pictures of it a few years back in the "All the Rest" section of this web site. Very cool kit. Turned out really nice. Even though it doesn't have the features of the bigger kit. I have room for it in my collection. I'd love to build the big one. But don't know where I'd put it. The same goes with MPC's new, bigger, Space 1999 Eagle. I only have so much room!

Invest a couple bucks for Mega-Millions and Powerball tickets and keep your fingers crossed. If you hit it, get a bigger place. If the jackpot is large enough, you can buy South Dakota. :D
