Wild Adventure was a fun episode because they were in space again and almost made it back to Earth. This diorama would have been impossible for me to make without my friend Bob Aucutt custom making the 1/6th scale figure for me, and it is so detailed at this scale. I fortunately had copies of the original blueprints of the fuel barge so I was able to recreate the signage of the hull that we never saw very clearly, the blueprints even specified the colors. I also had used the blueprints to make a full size miniature of the fuel barge a few years ago that the 12" Jupiter-2 landed on. Gary Stair 3D printed the 1/35th scale night clothes figures for me that I have in the Moebius Jupiter-2 interior. In Wild Adventure the green lady was known as Lorelei, but only in the script. In her return in The Girl from the Green Dimension, she was named Athena. Another diorama that I wanted to include last week in the Condemned of Space diorama was John in his spacesuit reaching out to the robot floating away. Bob Aucutt also built up that John spacesuit figure for me. Now with those dioramas completed I only have one more to build to have at least one for all 83 episodes.
