View Full Version : Something old, something new....
Moebius 04-23-2009, 12:10 PM It should be up on our website soon, but one announcement for this Summer, 1/350 Seaview. In scale with the old Aurora kit. I think July/August it should be here.
Most of you also know I was trying to put a little get together for the FX show. Didn't work out, show was very slow anyways. I did have some kits made as kind of an exclusive. They are over at the club store if anyone is interested. It's the little Frankenstein in turquoise, full trees like a test shot, bagged.
And the club. I know it's late, but we finally have everything worked out, and will be opening it up and posting details very soon.
Oh, Ron Gross box art!

beatlepaul 04-23-2009, 02:10 PM Mr Ron Gross..
Beautifull art work Sir!!!!!!
I just ordered the FX Frankenstein, Thanks for the heads up on that Frank! You know I have a weakness for such things LOL...
MonsterModelMan 04-23-2009, 02:26 PM What are the differences between this kit and the ones that Polar Lights did a few years back? Are they the same size?
Great news!
MMM

Moebius 04-23-2009, 03:47 PM By the way, the FX Frankie is on the Frightening Lightning page with the other exclusives.
steve123 04-23-2009, 04:28 PM What a hoot! She is such a pretty sub!.....I love this.
Great job, great Idea....!

MMMI believe it's a lot more accurate, And has the television front clip, Like the larger version by Moebius. The polar lights version was a reissue of the Aurora eight window Seaview from the movie & first season.Plus i love the base for this kit:thumbsup:
Capt. Krik 04-23-2009, 04:39 PM The huge Moebius Seaview is one of my favorite kits but oh yeah I'm in for the smaller Seaview. What a great idea, to do one in the size of the old Aurora kit only more accurate. As they say in show business...Boffo!
Ron Gross 04-23-2009, 05:45 PM Mr Ron Gross..
Beautifull art work Sir!!!!!!
Thank you. I's always a pleasure working with Frank.
Ron G.
Steve H 04-23-2009, 05:58 PM Beautiful, beautiful. This I think I can afford. :)
Hopefully not crossing the line and risking locking the thread, is there any hope for an ACCURATE 8-window Seaview in this scale? The old Aurora kit has its own funky love, but...well...
jbond 04-23-2009, 06:42 PM I think it's a few inches longer because the proportions are different. Uh, and it actually LOOKS like the Seaview. :)
Atemylunch 04-23-2009, 06:52 PM What length will 1/350 make this model?
YAY finally! after 40 years, a nice 2nd season seaview in the same scale as aurora!
BT_Tomcat 04-23-2009, 07:36 PM OK, finish current 1:128 Seaview, buy large Flying Sub, and now buy the 1:350 scale Seaview to go with my current FLEET of 1:350 ships!
Thanks guys!
Captain April 04-23-2009, 07:42 PM Only one thing to say to this: :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:
John P 04-23-2009, 07:52 PM What length will 1/350 make this model?
Same size as the old Aurora kit, a bit over 13".
And according to the box art, it flies!!
spindrift 04-23-2009, 07:56 PM What a big and happy shocker! Frank, you need to blow us away with ONE more new announcement and I will be pleased for the '09 releases. They certainly are the BEST group yet- something for everyone!
May I just add the new J2 will most likely be your crowning achievement if it is anywhere near as good as the Seaview...
Gary:thumbsup:
Media Robinson 04-23-2009, 08:00 PM It's great for people who couldn't store or afford the bigger kit, or who missed the PL kit.
Ron Gross 04-23-2009, 08:06 PM Same size as the old Aurora kit, a bit over 13".
And according to the box art, it flies!!
Not exactly, but it does surface as in the dramatic scene from the series pilot.
Ron G.
Seaview 04-23-2009, 08:26 PM This and the Aurora/PL side by side or nose-to-nose on the same shelf will make for an excellent "comparison" display, too! :thumbsup:
teslabe 04-23-2009, 08:29 PM My big Seaview is too big for my office, but this is just the ticket..... If you
don't stop, please don't stop, but if you did, I just might have to go crazy....;)
xsavoie 04-23-2009, 08:59 PM This is just totally insane,and boy do we love it.:thumbsup:
Lloyd Collins 04-23-2009, 09:02 PM Another model of my favorite sub, this is fantastic news!
Ron's art, is beautiful and it makes the waiting now unbearable! Hurry up July/August!
CptMatt 04-23-2009, 09:09 PM This is so cool, another 1:350 kit for my ship collection. It will look awesome next to the Typhoon and Ohio, on the shelf below the WW2 and modern Enterprises.
CptMatt 04-23-2009, 09:12 PM Not exactly, but it does surface as in the dramatic scene from the series pilot.
Ron G.
Actually, that surfacing scene is from the movie with Walter Pigeon and Peter Lorre, which was before the TV series.
Ron Gross 04-23-2009, 09:28 PM That's true, but it was also duplicated in the color series pilot, which I'm not sure was even aired. I had the tape ready to go in my old VCR for inspiration.
Ron G.
Fiver 04-23-2009, 09:38 PM HOLY CHROME!!!
I still haven't got the big one yet and given my funds of late I'll likely end up getting the 1/350 before the 1/28.
The tooling looks marvelous and Mr. Gross's artwork is exquised as ever. Does it come with any ancillaries? Little, teenie flying sub or diving bell? Too much to hope for? Oh well, that's what the cottage industry is for.
I'm fully geeked!!! :tongue: I'll get a bunch! What's the ball park on the retail?
MOEBIUS! Thanks again for yet another incredible kit!
Pax,
Fiver
Media Robinson 04-23-2009, 09:42 PM I wonder if a IA kit would look good with faint Aztecking?
My big Seaview is too big for my office, but this is just the ticket..... If you
don't stop, please don't stop, but if you did, I just might have to go crazy....;)
Almost makes you not to ever want to retire huh. So you can stare at the Seaview in your office and show it around.;)
teslabe 04-23-2009, 10:34 PM Almost makes you not to ever want to retire huh. So you can stare at the Seaview in your office and show it around.;)
Can't retire yet, need to pay for all these GREAT kits..... Please keep them coming..... I don't ever want to say that I have nothing to do.....:thumbsup:
P.S. I need more and more and more, I think IA has a few more that need to be done, just a thought....
Atemylunch 04-24-2009, 01:05 AM Same size as the old Aurora kit, a bit over 13".
And according to the box art, it flies!!
Thanks JP, and based on the box art I would imagine the Seaview would be one of the least popular posts in the USN(or whatever fantasy service she serves).
Ductapeforever 04-24-2009, 01:15 AM Emergency Blow procedures are common in the sub service, I know...I've been through many in my career.
docplastic 04-24-2009, 06:36 AM Frank, Dave: Is the smaller scale Seaview based on a new design and sculpt, or did you use the big Seaview as a pattern and scale it down to the 1/350 size? Or was it created some other way?
Excellent idea.
Dave Metzner 04-24-2009, 10:16 AM Little Seview is based on big Seaview..there are some corrections to correct a couple contours that are'nt exactly right on the big model.
Dave
Dave Hussey 04-24-2009, 10:22 AM Hi Dave,
Does the little Seaview incorpotate any other details, such as a small Flying Sub or flying sub bay?
Huzz
Dave Metzner 04-24-2009, 10:23 AM No FS or Fs bay...
Dave
JeffG 04-24-2009, 10:25 AM Will you STOP IT ALREADY? I mean honestly. if you keep coming out with this cool stuff, how can we have money left over for bills, food or clothes? :thumbsup:
