- This is my collection of Lost In Space props and dioramas that I display at home and at another downtown building. I created dioramas of several episode scenes and made replica props and sets related to the series.
Wowsers! Such detail from such a small scale!
Thanks, the diorama scale ranges from 1/6th down to 1/144th but the larger scales allow for more detail.
Super duper amazing and fabulous, Bill.
:-]
AMAZING !!!!
MASTERPIECES !!!!
All the best from Brasil , Rio de Janeiro .
what an amazing mood it reflects, I never experienced the 60s, but it seemed friendlier
This is The Most Freakin Awesome Lost in Space miniature collection I've Ever Seen. And the full size set of The Jupiter 2, Just Absolutely WOW!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‼️
Astounding detail!
I've been watching the show since it first premiered. I still get a kick out of it & my 4 year old granddaughter is fascinated by the Robot.
Very very cool. The many dioramas are incredible, and the ones that reflect the studio sets are the coolest of all.
Would love to experience this, wow!
You are a genius. What beautiful work. I'm 62 and watched Lost in Space since day 1. Oh to have had this when I was young to play with and show off. But I did have the lunch box, to the envy of others. Well done.
Thanks, I never had the lunch box until much later, but I did have the Topps cards and viewmaster set as a kid, I treasure them.
Amazing! I'm speechless! You can see the love and sweat that went into all of this! Thank you for sharing!
High Praise and lofty words seem so inadequate . This, what you have accomplished is the highest form of flattery and homage. It's astounding.
Awesome. I’ve never seen anything like this. This is a truly a living museum dedicated to the original LOS. Thank you for sharing!
Cosmic Films Studios ranks up there as one of the most fantastical and wonderous places ever! We are indeed fortunate to have this homage to "Lost in Space" specifically and science fiction in general right here in eastern Nebraska. Thank you Bill for all the effort you've put into researching, building/acquiring, and showcasing so many sets and props from the series, and for helping to preserve artifacts from the golden age of television.
Thanks, it is worth it when it created the opportunity to meet other sci fi enthusiasts.
Bill, how did get the flashlight (ion generator) to light up? Those rechargeables are long since dead. And what did you make the wishing machine hat from? Thanks. Jim
@@jamesdennis4926 I had to carefully open the case to remove the old capacitor and replace that with a battery instead. The wish machine was 3D printed.
I'm speechless. It is an incredible collection of your life's passion. Well done.
You have such a great collection Bill , both large and small , keep up the good work and thanks for sharing it with us all
Here from Stand Up Maths, great stuff and thank you!
this is brilliant thank you for sharing. lost in space forever.
Absolutely Beautiful!
I like the travel map!
I've always been a huge Lost in Space fan. To tell you how I feel about the work you've done to recreate the props and sets is Absolutely beyond words. All you need to recreate now is a smoked glass or plastic model of the Jupiter 2 sitting on the launch cradle and pad. Then install thin wires along one of the legs of the cradle connected to pulsating lights inside the Jupiter 2 to give it the glowing effect at liftoff. And add that famous scream from Dr. Smith. 🤣💞
Truly amazing and wonderful work! For each diorama I could immediately recognize what episode it came from. I also very much enjoyed the stage layout set-ups. I've often wondered what it must have been like to show up to work each day as one of the actors or crew and what they experienced vs what we saw on film. There are so very few behind the scenes photos to give us that insight. This was the next best thing. Kudos to your attention to detail and extraordinary work! This was evidently a labor of love.
I also always wanted to know what the sets were really like, that's why I created some of the stage dioramas, so I could see what it looked like behind the camera. I used blueprints of the sets and the few behind the scenes photos to try and make it as accurate as I could.
Hermoso, maravilloso, muchas gracias, a quienes hicieron posible este programa💕
Thank You For Sharing Your Priceless Collection Of All Things LOST IN SPACE, I Love It. Lost In Space Was My
Favorite TV Show When It First Aired In The Mid 60's, I Still Love This Classic Show Today And Watch It On DVD.
I watched it from its premiere also, the DVDs are so great to be able to watch it again, they take me back to that time as a kid.
Amazing and awesome collections and creations!
Just can't say enough how incredibly joyous this is to view! I saw your Lost In Space Collection and was blown away but this, again words utterly fail me. You have succeeded on so many levels that any fan would find it hard to describe. I gotta work my way up to Nebraska one of these days. I'm 68 years old and have loved LIS from the first aired episode and over the years tried to collect odds and ends like the viewmaster slides and paperback and of course the episodes, now in glorious blu-ray. Thank you, thank you, thank you for what you do, Mr. Hedges, it can't be emphasized enough in these crazy times. 🙂
My collection all started from the viewmasters and cards that I got when I was a kid, I never dreamed it would end up like this.
Awesome, incredible, fantastic work. Congratulations!!!! You are a great and talented artist!
I can't find the words to describe how I'm feeling while seeing this. THANKYOU is the best I can come up with.
A-FREAKING-MAZING!!!
I couldn't have put it better myself.
These ere are amazing! Lost n Space has always been my favorite show
I have been a fan of Lost In Space since mid 1970s as a 10 year old and still continue to watch this show now and I'm late 50s but ive never seen anything like this looking at every diarama scene in detail the work that went in to this is truly amazingly out of this world. I thought being a fan of the show was dedication enough. But this has outdone lots of us dedicated to this wonderful family space adventure.I can only dream about being surrounded by such a favorable atmosphere. The only items i have as my dedication is the Moebius models of Jupiter 2, The Space Pod, The Chariot and the B9 Robot. All Unbuilt and I'm worrying about lighting them and electronics ive no idea how to put together. Its mind boggling. Really lost for words. Top marks? That's super dedication to a 1960s SciFi.👍🤯😧😲😯💫✨🌟
Thanks, I had a lot of unbuilt models too and figures still in boxes until one day I just decided to take them out of their boxes and do something with them and not be worried if they are perfect or not. I don't light most of my dioramas, they can look perfectly good without lighting.
@@williamhedges1519 From George. Yes all you have done looks great as it is even if not lit up. If it's ok to ask is all this done on your property? If it is you must have plenty of space to do this and the full size sets are incredible. Love the set of the lost civilization from episode The Hungry Sea? If I'm not mistaken and the set of episode Follow The Leader. It's wonderfully done as is the Jupiter II set and all the miniatures. I wish I could see it personally. Well done. Incredible work. Good for you.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
@@George-pp2hr I have a couple of buildings downtown that I display the dioramas in and have the Lost in Space sets. I use those sets, including the underground city and Follow the Leader sets for my series Cosmic Cat. You can see the cave and ruins set being used in this episode of my series. th-cam.com/video/6BfYA6_E5-U/w-d-xo.html
Amazing and Outstanding!
This is outstanding model making and testament to your obsession. Beautifully done.😊 I remember every episode you’ve depicted your work is that perfect. 👍👌
Thanks, I try to depict a scene that is iconic to only one episode, usually a climatic ending, a cliffhanger, and something that I personally love about that episode.
Astounding! Incredible work.
Just fantastic! (And I love the kitties!)
I loved Lost In Space and DR Smith was my favorite !
I made the pilgrimage here several years ago and it was one of the best days ever!
Wow this is fantastic, brings me right back to my childhood (I do not remember the cat though).
Amazing video! I feel like Helen Keller looking thru a blindfold
Favorite one when will goes back to Earth
The Greatest, lots of good detail too!!
some people understand...most dont...you did a great job...maybe someday a smart enough ai might bring it back...but what a wonderful gift to have in your memories and what a wonderful gift to make your memories real again..when i was 5 i got the switch n go set...so cool but way to young to take care of it..still a great memory ..peace..rob
TOTALLY AMAZING AND WONDERFUL!
Absolutely amazing well done
Marvellous
Amazing!
I resume in only one word my friend: magnificent! Greetings from Rio de Janeiro!!!
Very very cool! Thanks for sharing
Wonderful. Congrats from Brasil!
Awesome sets.
Beyond stunning...hats off to you, sir! 👍👍👏😎
Glorious!
This is so awesome 🙌
It's all marvelous!
Your work is perfection and I love it!
Thanks, I really enjoy studying the show to try and get the details right in my dioramas and props.
perfection !
GREAT JOB
hmm. I am leaving Syracuse NY soon. No plans, no need to work. May even be going to Salt Lake City Utah. Certainly will stop in Nebraska for this shop. Is it open? what hours? Happy to pay in a heartbeat and to thank this man and his staff for their work
Awesome!!!! Thank You
Just awesome!
So Magical :)
That’s a big right on lost in space bro!
Fantastic!!!
Amazing 😊
Good one Bill
FANTASTICO!!!!!
Fisher Price should make a "Lost In Space" set with the Jupiter 2!
Another... Great Stuff
FABULOUS!!! 🏆
Amazing work.
Awesome!
that is awsome !!!
83/84 episodes is a lot of props & sets - great work - have you ever had anyone associated with "lost in space" or "irwin allen productions" visit you? :)
There are a lot of episodes to choose props and dioramas from, I still have more planned. No one connected with the show has visited, although some fans have.
Maravilhoso !!!! eu gostaria muito de conhecer esse lugar....mas eu sou do Brasil .
The creature with the red eyes creeped me out!
Cats in Space!
wow!
Cant believe MeTV did a piece on that other guy and not you.
Wow
Wow, how in the world did you put all that together
It just started out from building one room in my basement a few years ago and it kind of expanded into another building that I had. I started building the dioramas about two years ago.
Absofreakinlutely incredible to the ummmppphhh degree Bill. Did you also make the figures of the cast members?
Thanks, and no I didn't make the figures, some were 3D printed or sculpted by others.
Have you ever considered moving to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee (in the Smoky Mountains)? I'm fairly confident that if you were to set-up a permanent 'Lost In Space' attraction somewhere along the main parkway it would be successful.
Plus, Knoxville (within an hour of Pigeon Forge) is known for a fair amount of TV production work...you might gain some clients for your studio. Just a suggestion.
PS: Something else to ponder, Tennessee has no state income tax...nothing, nada, zip.
That’s s great idea! I live in Chattanooga and would visit a Lost In Space museum within driving distance. Big fan of the show. Watched it as it aired when I was a kid. Still have plenty of interest in the show. And what eight year boy didn’t want to be Will Robinson???
These dioramas are SO COOL! How did you find the original props??? Is this display open to the public?
Thanks, most of the original props I bought from other collectors and sometimes ebay. Visitors are welcome www.cosmicfilmsstudio.com/studio.php
RIP Mark Goddard!
At 5:56 ... 4th item from the right, (next to hand-held tape device on lower shelf) there is a small silver box with a black square panel - is that the radio communicator/walkie talkie that Will used in season 1's 'Return from Outer Space' episode?
No, those are all tape recorders like those used in different episodes. The left one is Dr. Smith's when he recorded his message in Condemned of Space, the one on the right is Penny's, and the two in the middle were seen in The Promised Planet. The two in the middle are the same, one just has its cover closed over it.
@@williamhedges1519 Thanks for the info. That's an impressive collection of props! They pre-date the similar-looking ones made by Sony used on the Apollo missions. I was curious about the season 1 radios as you must already know, they distinctly changed to a different type from season 2 onwards. Regards from England, UK 🇬🇧
@@kurtcoolson9054 It's fun for me to track down the off the shelf props that they used, sometimes without even modifying them other than covering up a brand name.
@@williamhedges1519 I didn't know that! I was only familiar with the first season laser pistol & chariot rifle being modified store-bought toys.
@@kurtcoolson9054 There were also off the shelf flashlights, walkie talkies, books, kitchen ware, tables, chairs, and many other ordinary things turned into props.
Is this an actual place to visit as indicated at the end of the video?
The ending was done as a kind of parody, but visitors are welcome, they should just contact me first, I use it as a studio and not there for any regular hours.
So how did the chariot fit inside the Jupiter2?
It was stored disassembled, then assembled.
Meow!
What episode have all the horned animals heads at the door or around the edges
That was the episode The Magic Mirror that Penny went through into another dimension.
Very cool! And a furry invader!
Unbelievably mind blowing dedication! Huge Irwin Allen fan especially LIS and I am stunned by the detail and love in the saving of actual props and incredibly crafted dioramas. Kudos!!!
Wow
