Join me as I build and assemble a Space: 1999-themed diorama, featuring a 3D-printed laser tank. The tank kit was created using files from SkyOwnZ on CGTrader, while the figures, supplies, and equipment were sourced from CGTrader, Cults3D, and Thingiverse. Along the way, I showcase aquick demoof my new DSPAIE handheld sander and share my experience making my first painting maskwith the Cricut Joy. The final diorama brings to life a busy scene, as crews prepare the tank for an upcoming mission. The video concludes with a final reveal of the project. I plan on displaying this at the upcoming Wonderfest show in honor of the 50th anniversary of the TV series.
