All of us who love and appreciate Lost in Space (especially us 'Original Fans") have dreamed of owning props and toys from the classic series.  Who wouldn't want a full size B9 Robot or one of the Robinson's laser weapons? However, while most of us dream - only a few do. One of the doers is Bob Aucutt.   Toward the end of 2003, he sent me some pictures of him and what appeared to be exact replicas of the laser rifles featured in the original series..  I immediately told Bob I would like to share his creations with other LIS fans on this site.

LIS Fan Bob Aucutt displays his hand built replicas of the Lost in Space laser rifle - build out of resin and metal based on the dimensions of the original (as using a LIS rotojet gun for center section template)

Bob describes himself as a 'super LIS fan' - which is an understatement at least.  In addition to his LIS laser rifles, he is a member of the B9 Builder's Club and has built his own B9 robot.  More pictures and details about his B9 project may be found at: http://www.geocities.com/b9project/home.htm Bob may soon be able to share his handiwork with other fans.  He says he is negotiating to obtain the rights to market his replicas. Bob is married with three sons.  He says he will soon have a family picture of his clan dressed in Lost in Space costumes.
