- The lower level, at an early stage. This view points out some of the details on the model, including the scratchbuilt elevator cage, interior furnishings, and even the Pod.
- This shot shows how to cut the existing molded-in ladder to a reasonable facsimile of the correct ladder.
- This is almost finished shot of a typical modified lower deck suite wall complete with bed (mylar bedspread), bookshelf (with books and plant), monitor decal, entertainment center decal, nighstand and nightstand decal.
- After nearly four months of gruelling work on the bench, my Polar Lights Jupiter is finished at last. The lower deck hasn't changed a lot from the last pictures I sent in but I added the area in front of the auxiliary control panel and the screen doors for the suites.
- I cheated a little on the upper deck and didn't detail outside the walls (just some ceiling beams and surfaces). To cover this, I screwed the upper deck to the hull top so when I lift the top off, the top deck comes with it! The figures are from the Monogram Invaders Saucer and the Robot is scratch built.
- Scratchbuilt Robot (with Robot panel decal!). Penny on the right is there for scale.
- With all the stuff inside, I had a little difficulty getting the saucer top and hull top to sit neatly on the lower deck and I may address this problem after I've taken a break from this kit.
Now I can get on with the stack of kits that have accumulated during this project.
