AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my head is spinning from trying to get all the infomation from all the threads here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i want to know how guys are assembling theirs
what tricks they are using
what cool aftermarket stuff i could use
what to paint what
how to rework some of the parts

BUT THE FACTS ARE ALL SCATTERED!!!!!!!!!
I'M GOING MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:freak:

As for the cool aftermarket stuff, check out:

Seaview Interior (http://modeling.paragrafix.com/Pages/Seaview/default.asp) (this is for the Just an Illusion lighting kit)
Flying Sub Interior (http://modeling.paragrafix.com/Pages/FlyingSub/default.asp)


EDIT: D'oh! I forgot to mention that when work on these two is done, I'll be working up a photoetch accessory kit for the exterior that will include the radar dish, "spine" handholds, sail ladder rungs, and docking cleats.

Insert tab "A" into slot "B". Apply glue sparingly. Repeat until feelings of overwhelming anxiety subside.

Ooh! I said "sub".

Very sweet. The Seaview is a great simply because it isn't near as hard to paint and get right as the refit Enterprise with all it's complex colors and lights. This will be a great conversation piece on the shelf.

I think it is also cool that there is aftermarket stuff out ALREADY. Heck Voodoo just came out with that PL Star Trek NCC-1701-A package about a year ago. Not too sure why they waited so long? I am glad to see this stuff already being available.

I'm still staring at it half-finished, wondering how I'm gonna adapt an 18-LED christmas string to fit it. :D

I know after I see yours I'll chunk my in the closet as it won't be worthy. Give us your paint colors.

I'm still trying to decide on paint colors! I'd settled on ghost gray, then somebody said they came up with a better match. Which I forgot...

I read somwhre where a Wal-Mart brand primer was a perfct match. I went to search for the post but didn't find it. By the way, the fins slide in perfect and stay in place as well as the Flying Sub porton. I won't glue them in so as to have access to lights and such for replacement. I still can't believe they placed wire access for the fins. Very well thought up model.

That was me Sir!!:wave:

I used the Wallmart Primer on all my Seaview Builds. However we need someone to post screen caps of the Effects Footage on the second season Volume 1 disk.
It clearly shows the colors used on the 8' Seaview. I asume they did the same for the 17'3":freak:

How can some of you guys be half to almost done when i cant even decide what i want to do with mine????

to light or not?
aftermarket or not?
how detailed or straight out of the box?

I'M SO CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Build your first one the best you can - even without any options.

While building your first one, consider all of the options and details that you want to add to make your second one everything you would want it to be. Then, take everything you learned and figured out and imagined you would want and go build a second one.

Then give your first one to a friend! :)

I wonder how many firecrackers it'll take to stuff one up...

I say stand it up on its tail then drape the lights in a festive manner!

Like an equator-crossing Neptune's Kingdom ceremony! :jest:

i only have room for one seaview. i think i'll wait until other guys post their pic's then i get a better idea of how i want to build it. i'll be stealing......whoops! i mean be inspired by others great work.
there is so much to consider with this huge opportunity.

Like an equator-crossing Neptune's Kingdom ceremony! :jest:

I wouldn't want to be apart of that ! :freak:

It might take a few M-80's to do it up right!

You could always stuff an Estes model rocket engine in the tail. With all those fins, the thing might actually fly!

Done! :lol:

OT for a second here...Seaview, ol' bean, I'm heading you way next week...how's the weather been?
