Owning a scale model of something we are interested in has always been a popular part of culture. Perhaps a model is a way of obtaining something we could never have in real life? Perhaps having a model is a way of staying close to something we admire or escaping from reality in some way. Perhaps one of the biggest desires of any Lost in Space fan is to have a very detailed model of the Jupiter 2 with working lights and sound. Other fans are fascinated with the chariot and space pod. Many fans are satisified with purchasing such kits but others desire to make their own models.
