VOYAGE SEAVIEW DIORAMA #01 |
Updated: December 12, 2012
This was built-up and extensively modified from The Monsters
in Motion resin kit. The model measures 2-feet long and has
all of the details found on the 2nd through 4th season 8-foot
filming miniature.
It also features the green/ gray shading that was found on the
original models and very subtle salt staining to give a sense
of scale (it is so subtle, so it doesn't show up well in these
photos.)
The underside is painted the correct off-white color and the
correct, darker-gray stripes have also been applied along the
limber hole areas as seen on the original 8-foot and 17-foot
filming miniatures.
The original kit was super-detailed and numerous access-ways
were drilled through the solid resin hull to run the required
wiring and fiber optics throughout the ship.
There are 8 mini bulbs and 4 LEDs. Fiber optic cable was used
in areas where it was impractical to install bulbs. There is
a partial interior in the observation nose with three
teeny bulbs and fiber optics detailing and illuminating the
interior.
There is even a lit table lamp on the desk and a world map on
the wall!!!
The Conning tower diving planes are movable. The FS bay hatch
is also removable to access the wiring, on/off switch and batteries.
An in-scale Flying sub model is also included. The model ships
with a custom-made walnut base with brass stanchions. The model
is removable from the base and keys in with a brass rod into
the hull for stability.
Value: $400.
