discussion Seaview.

[Guest]

This is one I started months ago it turned out to be a filler monster, months of filling and rubbing then after the first paint session I realised that the sail windows were a terrible fit I decided to fill them so more rubbing and filling, in the end decided to finish her as a modified Seaview class and took some liberty with the finish, did not come out as good as I would of liked but certainly an impressive model,

Is this the big one Steve ?


I've heard this is a pig of a kit but I'm on the look out for one cheep I loved the show when I was a kid and it does look a cool sub


, do you get the mini sub with it ?

Yeah it is the big one, no there is no flying sub with it and it certainly is a lot of work but it is worth it especially if you get it cheap.

 

[Guest]

Wow! Looks an impressive model.


Nice, I like it!

 

[Guest]

Impressive looking build indeed!

 

[Guest]

Cheers Steve that's the key word 'cheep' it depends on if someone just wants shot of one or not


I know polar lights do a smaller one if I have to I'll get that

The 1/350 one should be less work though if you find this at a good price take it, I could have spent more time smoothing her down and put a lighting kit in her and she would be a showstopper, my pics. are crap so they don't show how nice she is but I spent so much time on her I decided enough was enough, I may revisit her at a later date and improve her.

Wow does that bring back memories! loved "Voyage to the bottom of the sea" though I'm sure I can't remember a single episode, she is one impressive build mate

 

[Guest]

Thanks Jim, I have always loved this boat, I quite eager to do some more work on her already but I wont for a while.

 

[Guest]

All I can remember from that series is the background beeping pattern that was ever-present in the background of the interior shots - and I can remember it absolutely accurately! What is so odd, is that this show was completely out of my consciousness until I looked at these pictures. Brain is a funny thing...

The photos aren't that bad Steve , this is a smooth hull so you won't see a lot of detail , I know what it's like when you get a kit that tests you and it's worse when it's a simple kit I think


The LHS has the 1/350 polar lights one for just over £30 I think , that's a bit much for a basic kit but it has been there a while so I might make him an offer and see if he wants rid of it

 

[Guest]

That looks a fair size what scale is it? Looks the business.

[Snowman]

WOW, that is a whopper!!


Where do you stash a built kit that big??

Thanks Scott, I don't think it gives a scale but it is about 39 inches long.

Lol. I am going to have to put a shelf up just for this one.

Changing into dollars 30 quid seems about par for the course, though models are more expensive here as a rule, I have decided I am going to revisit her in a few months and add some super detailing as well as alter the paintwork a little, strange but now I see her at this stage it makes me want to do more with her.

Apparently it is 1/128 scale.
