Well, who am I to argue with Dr. Smith!?!! [;)]
But what about Parker Posey?
I had to look that up, Greg. Have you seen that Lost in Space series? What did think of it.
Again–not much to show. It was a bear miter cutting, fitting, and gluing the glass door framework. The latter was tough because the pieces kept moving on me and/or the glue leached where I didn’t want it to go. Lots of redos. Hours later–the glass door trim is complete.
I decided to go with T shaped strips for the trim. If done right it should allow a snug fit into the chamber opening as well as a tight fit for the glass panels. My hope is that by going this route I’ll be able to minimize glue creep; thus, minimizing fouled up glass.
The frames are loosely installed. I will glue them in after paint.
From here I will probably begin mounting the chambers to each other and make the end walls.
Now, for TOS, The Trouble Wit hTribbles is right up there (and the tie-in DS9 episode as well).
I have to admit to a fondness for the Harlan Ellison written shows.
Mind, I’m watching the opening of the thrid season of Westworld . . .
Ah yes. Tribble Tea anyone?
Wow, those cryogenic chambers are going to be so good, they might actually work.
I am. I’m not much of a fan for remakes, always been a stickler for everything remaining the same. But as I get older, I find myself enjoying the attempts more, just becuase it’s fun to revisit the original, or something like that. I have the most trouble dealing with the new characters.
Yes, I’m getting a bit of a kick out of the new Lost in Space. I really disliked the new Dr Smith (Parker Posey) at the beginning, but she’s really grown on me, and I sort of love hating her, just like the original.
Ha! I hear that, John.
Miter cut on small pieces is my problem too. I end up using glue to soften the plastic and force the parts together for a tight fit. That presents a problem as the joined parts are melted together and no longer the exact length I needed and the excess glue/melted plastic spreads all over. And then there’s my need of Major Sanding, a course character who ineviitably wears my patience thin.
Steve, You are having some real fun now, a barrel of’em it seems with making your Chambers. (Which look perfect!)
It’s nice that our hobby is an indoor sport and requires no onsite fans. Just Make sure your stash is ready for this Battle for the Planet of The…____( Fill in whatever you want.)
Not much to do with this covid-19 running around so I may set aside a few days to re-read (again) this, the longest FSM Science Fiction thread IN HISTORY!
Your doing Great!
Jim.
Nino–you nailed. I didn’t feel like typing all that. The other issue was glue leaching under the parts and then the pieces stick to whatever you have them sitting on. I had to pry them up. It does not seem to matter what surface it is. With them being so small, it is near impossible to hold and glue at the same time. I need a third hand.
Thank you my friend. Even though these assemblies are a time suck…I am enjoying the process.
As I said before–you are a hoot sir! LOL…
Thanks for following! It is always great to hear from you.
Thank you again!

Every episode I want to throw her out an airlock, must be the Dad in me, you mess with my kids…
Amen. I tell ya. She is the reason I stopped watching. I can’t stand the witch. After a while I started watching again. Then I stopped again for the same reason. I imagine I will eventually watch them all but it’s a battle between vomit reflex and the awe of stunning effects. Vomit reflex usually wins. [<:o)]
Thank you sir. Well they better work–I have a few passengers going with me.
YUP!
Glad to hear she has grown on you. I don’t think I will get there. Not with all the beer in the world.
Let me say this though. If Dr Smith starts hoarding toilet paper, I’m done.
Let me say this though. If Dr Smith saw an angle to do so, she would. No soul in that one.
Those look perfect to me Bakster!
BTW: I tried to explain toilet paper to George Clapper but he didn’t seem to understand. He kept refering to it as ‘ammo’…
That sounds like George. It goes to show that you can take the ape out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the ape.

Thanks Gam.
