Well, I finished my Seaview last weekend and dove right in on the Space Pod. I have to say, like everyone else, that these kits are a pure joy.They are both beautifully done and easy to build.The tooling is A-1.

And I cant wait for my chariot!

I used led string xmas lights with 1000 hour life. they also burn cool, so no heat build up issues.

I hope you folks like the job I did. Lots of patience, but lots of satisfaction, too. The Seaview sits proudly beneath my 1/350 Titanic

Nice work :thumbsup:

I love the flex cable on the mic in the space pod :) was it part of the kit or did you make it. I only got mine yesterday and I haven't checked out all the bits yet.

AJ- you just take a length of wire and wrap it around a sewing needle to get the curling wire look. i plan to do it again for the Chariot radios

i think that ugly monster has the role nailed if they do a remake of the cyclops episode.

Hit the Seaview with some fine wet sandpaper then go over it with dullcoat.

what kind of christmas lights did you use & how did you route them through the sub ? Do they light up everything inside pretty good ?

The lights are soft LED xmas string lights that I got on the internet. i blacked out the interior skin of the model first, to avoid light leakage. then, i used that adhesive aluminum foil to give it a reflective seal. works like a charm. for the sail, i merely drilled a hole in the hull where the sail inserts, and fed 2 LED's into the sail.

the flying sub is not actually lit. there was a reflection in one pic that gave it that illusion. Sorry for the deceptive photography!
