      I think its what opened the door for a lot of other really Great Sci-Fi movies to be made. I still like the original "The Thing" 1951 James Arness first movie and he played the monster and four years later 1954 "Them" about the giant ants. A lot of those "B" movies were just fun to watch. But Forbidden Planet broke away from the mold and opened the door for more serious adult (thought provoking) movies.

    MGM’s “Forbidden Planet” remains one of my favorite movies in my lifetime. You have done a tremendous tribute to the spaceship flying saucer. The detail looks so great. I expected it to fly right off your desk! Thank you for creating this video. Don’t forget to talk a little bit about Robbie the robot that I saw in the background. I read somewhere that at the time it was the most expensive movie prop ever made! Thanks again.

    Howdy, been watching this build for a while now and I have to say I just bought this kit a few days ago. So I will be going back over all your videos before I start it. I am still looking for the electronics. I also bought the Polar Lights Robby the Robot kit. I was a little disappointed that even though the kit box art shows Robby holding Altair in his arms she is not in the kit. Other than that I am pretty excited. I also bought the 1/350 TOS Enterprise kit. I'll begin looking for the lighting kits for this big boy also. I have my eye on the 2001 kits but they are all really expensive. So I may never get them. We'll see though.

    Absolutely on point! Gorgeous. One of the few I don't have in my stash, even though it is number 2 in my list of favorites, 1. being the Enterprise types, 3. being Pegasus from 'When Worlds Collide' 4) 'Star Wars' (most of them) and 'Space 1999' Eagles and Hawks If it isn't on this list, it would be close, such as Klaatu's ship from 'The Day The Earth Stood Still'.
    I can't wait to see the diorama! I made one for an older version of Robby that incorporated the best of polyurethane foam and red Georgia sand that I wish survived a house fire 2 years back..

      I was watching the movie the other night and I was pausing the film when they showed the manned laser guns, thinking I wonder how hard it would be to scratch build one of these? Place either small pee lamps or fiber optics in the emitters to simulate laser fire. Thats about all you could do to it. I don't remember any specific sound it made. It would be cool.

    I have a set of copies of blueprints for the Ci57D. in them the top of the hull -shows the large hatches for the ships cannon arrays to raise up to firing positions at the 4 cardinal compass points around the hull. In the movie these guns could be lowered through the lower hull for ground installation use. Same for their utility vehicle. I do like the finish and lighting you have done for the kit.
