Man! I can't wait for this kit to show up. How freaking cool are those pics. Thanks Frank and Steve for sharing those photos.

Just thought a couple more pictures with the green plastic would be cool!

That's way cool. um you wouldn't happen to have a shot with a scale juxtaposed would ya?

You call those clear parts! I want my girly giggles back! :p

Thanks Frank! :woohoo: Pics are always welcome!

That Bridge is looking better every time I see it! ...so much detail!

FRANK: If usable and ok for hardness etc....can the green plastic be used like in re-pops more than new sculpts??

We were going to do the interior in that light green, then we got better information on the actual colos used on the sets for the show.The color of the control room walls on the Voyage to The Bottom of The Sea sets appears to be gray, apparently something close to gull gray. Most of the faces of the consoles appear to be metallic blue or metallic gray. The floor is blue.....the hatches and beams in the nose are steel.......Tv screens are some shade of olive green---- Periscope Island is a medium Blue it's lighter than the floor back wall of radio shack is Metallic Blue... For best look at the control room get your DVD's of the TV series and watch lots of episodes!!!

I always thought the Voyage periscope was the real thing from a real sub. It had all the right markings and stamps. Anyone know?

Will this Seaview kit be molded in a plastic color,where someone who has limited painting skills,or just wants to assemble one be able to do so with minimal painting.And still be able to produce an attractive model.Even I,may just want to paint over the Flying Sub,and various details,on the Seaview,plus the control room.Does anyone know,if the hull piece,above the control room,will be removable,so you have the option of looking in,if you choose?Guy S.

The control room set on the Seaview was pretty authentic.(From the feature and First Season), When Irwin Allen was getting ready to shoot the feature film, He asked the US Navy for some technical information on the interior of their Nuclear Subs. They refused, so the design team checked out the Inside of "The Nautilus",which,at the time,was docked in San Diego. When the feature was getting underway, He invited reps from the US Navy to check it out. Needless to say, they were very impressed! They didn't know exactly what everything did, but liked it just the same. Allen wanted some last minute additions prior to filming, so he added more"Blinky" Lights Etc....

Frank, Again that Kit looks Fantastic!! What Fun I am going to have with that Sub!

On the colors of the interior, I always believed the Interior Bulkheads were a beige/greyish color. Like the Wall beams in The Jupiter Two.

BP

Thanks Dave! I keep forgetting that you have a big part in all this....I blame it on the fumes and lack of sun light man! :tongue:

Dave have you, frank and others ever talked about bringing the 'green' back on some kits...just for old times sake?

.....OH BOYS! I think he's back for his noon feeding!....Have you all noticed all that room to the sides and rear for wires and stuff! :woohoo:

This is one big beautiful baby.I can hardly wait to hear the news about the Seaview being finished and finally on it's way over here from Asia.

It will be gray, so very little painting will be needed if you don't want to get too involved. Hull above isn't removable, but you can always leave the window section loose to look closer inside.

That's way cool. um you wouldn't happen to have a shot with a scale juxtaposed would ya?

There are some posted somewhere, but I need to look. Steve probably has them over at his site.

Thanks Fluke! The clear is of course just test shot material, so it does look crappy. The green is fine to use, maybe we'll find something to use it on at some point. I kind of like that mint look myself....

The green give it the look, that the Seaview is full of water.

Thanks Frank!.....of course I was kidding about the clear parts....just in case.

Will Moebius Models be at Wonderfest this year and can you tell us how long and wide the Seaview bridge is roughly?

Thanks Dave!Have you all noticed all that room to the sides and rear for wires and stuff! :woohoo:

Are you kidding? I'm already working on my preliminary schematics layout! :thumbsup: I did a set of lights for Bert for his PL Seaview. That got me hooked on this one. I have big plans for this! Lets see....LED's-check, fiber optics-check, wiring-check, electric motors-check!

Frank,
Looking good. As you can tell we're sorta pumped about this here. I hope this kit does great not only within the Sci-Fi community, but outside with the military modelers. Couple of questions, will there be any decals provided for some of the readouts in the control room and any estimate on release date?

Fantastic job
Rogue

BTW as far as future kit ideas... how's about "The Time Machine", and of course the "Proteus"? I'm sure no ones suggested either one of these yet. ;)

You kidding Rogue.The Proteus and Time machine were suggested several times in past posts.How could we possibly overlook such fantastic kit subjects.

Thanks Frank!.....of course I was kidding about the clear parts....just in case.

We'll be there, same spot as last year. I'm sure we won't have enough room, but we're looking forward to it! I know you were kidding about the clear, but I figured someone else may ask about it. I'll have to dig it out later to get the bridge size. Dave may know it off the top of his head and post it. Someone will let you know!

No decals. The radar screen has engraved lines though. Still working on the release date. Should have a much better date in a week or so. I'll let everyone know as soon as I can.

Great pics of the control room......... Now damn it... I gotta get two kits. One for a complete build and one for just the control room. I know that you will not see butkus of that detail with the hull and nose glued on. Maybe a Franklin Mint type build with a pull off hull section?

Frank,

I was checking out some of the other pics posted on Steve's site. Do I really see seats behind the viewports on the Flying Sub?!!? :eek: Man, talk about "down to the last detail"!

I know that you will not see butkus of that detail with the hull and nose glued on. Maybe a Franklin Mint type build with a pull off hull section?I don't think it would be too difficult to cut out a removeable section of the hull if you want to display the interior. And I assume you mean "bupkes" or "bupkis." Obviously you're a goy! :p

A while back,I responded to a thread saying the Technical details of the outside of the Seaview,didn't match the insides.Moebius got everything lined up though,and the control room,and forward observation nose room,all look accurate to the show.Besides the Fine Molds Star Wars kits,this will be the kit of the year,in the sci fi world,can'T wait,!!!Guy S.

The biggest difference between Fine Molds and Moebius Models?

It's easier for most folks to obtain and AFFORD Moebius kits! :)

Can you imagin what Fine Molds would charge for this Seaview model? .....hmmm...250.00 or more USD.

Frank,

Yes! 2 seats but no figures....

Does that mean no figures in 'that pic' or no figures at all?....did I miss something along the way?....I thought that figures were planned for this kit?

Like it matters ....it could come with a poster of Prez Bush and I'll still buy a few! :tongue:

Sorry! No specific figures for the Flying Sub. Figures for the Seaview itself are in there.

Ohhhhhh...........Now that makes sense...sorry...I had no idea the topic was the Flying Sub.....my bad.

Frank or Dave....I know you guys are being bugged left & right about whats in the future and I think you should do this or that......but a while back when you gave us the news concerning the Irwin Allen license....did I see it correctly when you mentioned a larger and better Flying Sub and Spindrift along with other Irwin Allen goodies.....or where you just throwing out ideas?

Just curious.

Thanx!

Flying Sub is a great possibility, but we're not too sure on the Spindrift. Spindrift would be 2009 at the earliest. February is so close, announcements soon....

Thanx Frank!... :thumbsup:

I wonder why this and other related threads have not been moved to the Moebius side of things?

Heck... I'm so use to going directly to the 'Modelers forum' I didn't even notice that section till yesterday.

Damn my eyes!

I'm sure it will get moved at some point, I'll put in a request!

I'm still hoping that Moebius will find Canadian distributors so that the stores here will carry them!! No Voyager here yet!!! :freak:

I'm surprised none have shown. We have just one Canadian distributor, but the orders from them aren't what we hoped for. We've been talking to another, much larger, but no word back from them yet. Hopefully soon!

Moebius, I spoke with several store managers here and they'd not heard of you - I'm guessing that their distributors don't have you on their lists; that could be one reason why you aren't getting much orders from that particular distributor; just a lack of info about you being out there! I told them your website so if they do follow up on that, that ought to change.

I suspect that you may get better exposure to the distributors here when the Seaview comes available. I hope.

I will check that out- thanks for the heads up! I didn't have that company in my links list. :thumbsup:

Thanks Frank, I will talk to him some more and find out exactly what he has in mind, he knows I will buy the kits from him if he order/ stocks them.

Dave, you don't have to justify anything to some of the anal compulsive geeks around here.

That should be "anal retentive" as labeled by Freud or "obsessive-compulsive" as the behavior is described today.

"Anal compulsive" sounds a little on the sickening side. :drunk:
