TV & Satellite Week are running a special Land of the Giants competition which closes on Friday 19th August 2011 with DVD, T Shirt and Spindrift model kit prizes. Click here for more information.
The new Moebius Models Spindrift kit is now available in stores. If you would like to have your Spindrift builds featured in our Model Builds galleries, please email a range of photos of the build with your name and location.
Here is first sight of the upcoming Moebius Models Spindrift kit box courtesy of Moebius Models.
We have exciting news. Moebius Models are planning to issue a small 1/128 scale (approx. 4.5 inches long) Spindrift model kit during the first part of next year, 2011. Pictures will follow when available.
Moebius Models are issuing a prefinished and ready-to-display metal Jupiter 2 replica at the beginning of 2011. This stunning 1/35th scale, 18 inch diameter Jupiter 2 model will come completely finished with lights. It weighs 19 pounds and has a metal hull and landing gear, and plastic painted interior. There is internal lighting, plus 3 speed fusion core. This special collectible includes a rechargeable battery plus wall transformer that doubles as a charger.

There is a 1978 Japanese toy which is remarkably similar to the Land of the Giants Spindrift. What do you think? Does anyone have this toy?

James Squellati has been working on constructing a scratch built Nautilus model (The Return of Captain Nemo). We very much hope that a model kit manufacturer will some day consider issuing a Nautilus model kit as there is very little available on this model.
We have added a new gallery of pictures of the three Aurora Seaview model kits in the IANN Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea collectibles section courtesy of Dave Holderbaum.
If you have any Irwin Allen collectibles that you would like to see showcased, please contact us at IANN.
MarkM Models have sent in some more photographs of the Jupiter 2 build and also sent us the link for the following video showing the lighting in action.
