View Full Version : Seaview steve123 03-26-2009, 02:57 PM I almost forgot how much fun I had building and lighting this kit. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/stev123/Picture118.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/stev123/Sub2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/stev123/Sub1.jpg Steve Steve244 03-26-2009, 05:25 PM that shot from below looks way cool. I'm not sure the undersea ledge with astroturf works, but hey, it's the Fantasy World of Irwin Allen! Scorpitat 03-26-2009, 05:48 PM Is this lit with a lighting kit, or are those simple x-mas type lights glued in? Either way, looks very impressive to me! Great job! :thumbsup: Sincerely, Scorp. "Boldly GO!" :wave: :woohoo: steve123 03-26-2009, 07:25 PM I used battery powered christmas leds. To light the sail and rear fins I used fiber optic cable to light the nav lights and compass binnacle, and to carry the light to the fin tips. Thanks! I had a ball building this one. The astroturf?...I looked at that going where did I shoot that? It's the edge of the slotcar track...and I have no short term memory...yikes. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/stev123/Picture114.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/stev123/Picture120.jpg If you look closely at the above shot you'll see the white masthead light on the top of the sail. Steve teslabe 03-26-2009, 08:23 PM Steve, you did an amazing job with some very clever work.....:thumbsup: Hats off to a very nice build.....:wave: P.S. Can the cars get around that bad boy?????? GForceSS 03-26-2009, 09:03 PM Wow I hope mine looks that good once I finish it! Great job!! steve123 03-26-2009, 09:06 PM Thanks! No they have to share...lol. It's tough finding a place to put these big models and since I've already taken over the second bedroom with this track I don't get much sympathy... I was so worried about messing with the circuits that I left all the lights in the strand! the ones I didn't need/use were wrapped in electrical tape... Steve teslabe 03-26-2009, 10:02 PM Thanks!

Steve At least you have a second bedroom.;) I went from a three bedroom house to a one bedroom Apt.. But I made a killing on the sale of that house, so I will find a place for my builds. This is my paint booth,LOL....:p It's "state of art"....:wave: steve123 03-26-2009, 10:05 PM You got a good one!...how does it vent? I see the ducting. You have already seen mine. I take all my outdoor shots from it.... Steve teslabe 03-26-2009, 10:41 PM You got a good one!...how does it vent? I see the ducting. You have already seen mine. I take all my outdoor shots from it.... Steve There are many ways to vent....:rolleyes: Here is mine, at least for now...:thumbsup: vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
