We have learned the very sad news that Emmy award winning and Oscar nominated Art Director and Production Designer Rodger E. Maus, who worked for many of Irwin Allen’s productions, passed away last month (16th March 2017) at the age of 84. You only have to browse around our site to see the results of his work, be it the design of the Lost in Space Space Pod or the sub-orbital spaceship, the Spindrift, from Land of the Giants.

We were honoured to meet with Rodger Maus in 1992 in Los Angeles and he was a charming gentleman. Below is a photograph of Rodger reading our Land of the Giants 25th Anniversary Special.

John Picha has created this unpacked Jupiter 2 3d model as an exercise in imagination. Ever wondered how the Pod and Chariot fit into the larger saucer body? What was between the bulk heads? To see more, view the 3d model created by John Picha.

John Picha has created some amazing 3D models of the Lost in Space Robot and Space Pod.  You can view images of these models in the Irwin Allen Gallery John Picha Showcase and watch the videos in the IANN Lost in Space Media Section.
