The Ship Model Forum

I got this reply on another forum:

"Kid down the street won a contest and received a model of the Seaview that had been in the TV show. It was nearly 3 feet long and made from fiberglass."

[quote="Haijun watcher"] Nice dio, but the [i]Seaview[/i] looks like it's not the same scale as the other subs. :big_grin:[/quote]

Yep - Huge, wasn't she!

It's the Moebius Seaview and MikroMir Thresher/Permit. Flying sub is Para Grafix, all allegedly in 1/350. I chose Permit since the class was pretty short but better proportioned for this than Skipjacks.

I didn't have any 1/350 PE railings for the brows when I did this a year or so ago and she ended up mostly finished on the shelf. Maybe I'll do brows and mooring lines this weekend so I can finally call it done.

Fantastic build and whimsical dio, Scott!

It's a shame the Seaview class was retired so early. They always seemed to be so promising in service!
