The photo etch interior for the Flying Sub is now available at ParaGrafix Modeling Systems (http://modeling.paragrafix.com/products/flyingsub-interior.asp) and a large batch will be on their way to CultTVman (http://www.culttvman.biz) Tuesday.

This photo etch set includes the full cockpit tub, girders and ceiling rings. Bonus optional engine turbines allow lighting the engines an easy addition to lighting the interior. (Electronics not included.)

Thanks, Paulbo; just what the doctor ordered! However, in loyalty to Steve and the excellent service he has brought to our modelling community, I'll be happy to show my appreciation by ordering through him.
MANY thanks again!!!

Seaview - No need to include the "however". I totally agree with and applaud your loyalty to Steve. He should have his shipment by Thursday.

You might want to email him and put a set on hold as I sent half my stock to Steve and have already sold half of the remaining stock! After a little over 4 hours it's already time to put in another order for etch!

Thanks for the great response everyone! The "buying frenzy" has been kind of overwhelming - I've already sold almost 90% of first run of etched parts and it's been on sale less than 24 hours!

More etch on order and plenty of shipping supplies on hand, though.

Ordered TWO!!!! i'm pretty sure the FS1 will be a teeny summer kit.......Well I heard it might be true.... I.......Think......I......remember................ . . ... ..... ...... . . .

Holy freaking cow! I'm sold out! (Sorry Mark, I can only send you 1 right now. Just shot you off an email.)

I would never have believed it. This little kit has flown out the door like ... well, think of something really fast that might happen to fly out a door.

I expect to have another shipment of etch in next week.

Thank you all!

It's on its way! Actually, I should say that all orders I've taken have been fulfilled and have shipped - is your email address @bigpond.com? (I seem to remember you mentioning you're from Queensland and I've shipped one order there and one to NSW.)

I'm (im)patiently awaiting the next batch of etch.

05-28-2008, 01:39 AM
Yes mate... There's no better state to be in other than Queensland...:thumbsup: Well thats my opinion :p And yes my email is at bigpond.com so the one coming to Qld should be mine... :woohoo: mine all mine...(insert mad gurggling laughter here)

Hey Paulbo!

many congrats on your success! Such a great kit, I'm glad you are doing well.

I've got one coming indirectly thru Cult. I can't wait

Are you coming to the "fest?

Paulbo
05-28-2008, 08:42 AM
Thanks, Lou.

Steve should have his tomorrow - I'm hoping his stock lasts a *little* longer than mine did so I can restock him without any delays between ordering and shipping.

TIP: One thing I noticed when assembling mine is that adding the top rings isn't really necessary - everything lines up so well with the ones molded into the ceiling that the brass ones can be left off without any visual loss.

Yup, I"m finally planning on making it to Wonderfest. I'm really looking forward to it.

I thought it was for the bigger Flying Sub that Moebius is supposed to release later on andthis is why I was confused.Still a great interor just the same.

Paulbo
05-28-2008, 12:52 PM
Solex - If you're BOJAC33, then yes indeedy you got in the first order.

Xavoie - Not to worry - I really should have said specifically which FS as there's thread talking about the potential large one on its way (eventually).

I at least expect that when and if that kit is released..someone will come out with some parts.. cant wait to see if that happens though:o

Mine showed up yesterday. WHAT A JEWEL OF A KIT!

It's very well done and the extra detail will greatly enhance the little FS-1. I just got in a couple of TT scaled Preiser figures from Reynaulds as well. Now to do something about those chairs...

Can't wait to start working on it.

I got mine yesterday!

WOW!!!
This is gonna make building that Lil Flying Sub SOOO MUCH FUN!!!! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

Now I'm rethinking a way to light it with a teeny ni-cad so I can just stick needles into some little holes to charge it. I still plan to have it lower from the launch bay on little nylon filaments.

Just to throw some gas on the fire ... what about using extremely small gage copper filament wire? That way you can supply power and hang it at the same time?

Actually, the wire probably won't take many lowering/raising iterations, but it could still be fun :)

Well I got my FS1 PE set and wow! I can see how it will improve the flying sub a lot. Has any one started theirs yet? If so, post some I plan on posting photos when I get to this kit myself.:thumbsup:

Got mine at lunch time today :) so I know what I'm doing tonite :p I can see the differance it'll now make on the interior look has changed where and how I was putting it on my display base/scene, cause I wanna make sure that you can look inside it unobstructed.

I dont want to get off the topic but If your interested look at link below and scroll down to see the cockpit Im talking about and how clear part would do us all a world of good when it comes to lighting.
Clear parts and Decals for any instruments or radar screen would be a site to behold when lit!:thumbsup::woohoo:

Cool....but I thought it was an upgrade kit for the Monogram TOS Viper. That kit needs some decent stuff and in PHOTO ETCH!

P/E Its easier to work with and looks MUCH better when back lighting than clear resin parts.

Sorry!...back to the main topic.

Oh! yeah there is one in the making but you might want to ask Paulbo about it! I expect it to be a instant buy for me! Im waiting for photos!!!

Private message me Fluke if you want to chat about the tos viper.. Im trying to light one now to sell off.

Back to the Flying Sub the PE for this is everything I expected and plan to light the fusion core with a multi color LED..:thumbsup:

Yes, there is a lighting kit for TOS Viper cockpit in the works - in fact it's 99% ready for production but a couple of projects have kept Gil and I from finishing it up. I know those of you who have the FS-1 and are awaiting shipment of the Seaview lighting system understand where the delays came from ;)

99% thats not too far off :thumbsup:

Yes and no.

Gil is working about 23 hours a day right now getting FS-1s and Seaviews out the door, and I'm just not qualified to do the work that he does (which is quite beautiful), so Vipers have to wait until all of our current orders have been filled.

To fill up my time right now, I'm working on a couple of super-secret masters that Gil & I will reveal in the next couple of weeks. ;)

Hi All,

The good news is that I drove down to Connecticut on Saturday to pick up a partial shipment of FS-1 Interiors.

The bad news is that I didn't even get a chance to make a real announcement of this fact before they were all sold! (Again - and this order was twice the size of the last one!)

Gil is working like a dog between this, his Seaview Lighting System, and several other projects, and I will be away next week, so I don't expect more etch until July 1.

Paul,
Would it be possible to pre-order these? This is the second time I've missed out, and Cult keeps listing them as "Out of Stock - do not order this
product at this time ". :(

Paulbo
06-17-2008, 09:31 PM
Seaview,

Sorry you missed it - but check your PM.

For everyone else - I'm working on a pre-order system and hope to have it implemented before I go on vacation next week. It will not take money, but I'll hold units aside for everyone who signs up. After I've received stock, I'll email all of the pre-orders and hold the units for about a week - if I haven't heard back by then I'll put the interiors into the general stock.

Also, I previously had not removed the order button from my site so that I had a lot of paid pre-orders before I received this batch of interiors. My policy on this was to leave the money in the PayPal account to allow for quick refunds if anyone changed their mind / couldn't stand the wait. I only retrieved the funds yesterday after the kits were shipped. If people would like me to continue this system, I'll leave the order button in place.

Paulbo

The waiting list form is online and operational. If you use the form, your name will be in the queue and I will a) email you when the kits are in stock and b) hold a set for one week after I email you to give you time to get back to me.
