Hey guys. No build log because I just did the plumbing, wiring and painting on this one. When I got it the interior had been done and the front hull was closed up so I never saw much of the interior although I did find a bunch of bits that the builder had left out... The Nelson Institute for Marine Research. A privately owned corporation with their own atomic powered submarine equipped with nuclear missiles, what could go wrong? This is the Moebius 1/128th scale TV version kit. I don't remember who did the lighting kit off the top of my head, but it seemed just a bit over done with some seriously heavy gauge wiring and over sized LEDs. It did include some light sheet for the control room overhead which was nice. I always liked the Irwin Allen craft. From the Jupiter 2 to the Seaview and the Flying sub, they just looked cool to me. And all the ancillary craft to go with it. The Flying sub was always one of my favorite ship. Even in 1/128th scale it looks good! The top hatch was replaced with a neodymium magnet to mount it in its hangar bay. I did break down and pick up the Paragrafix set for the mini sub. I liked the fold up interior but the decals were absolutely awful. One thick solid sheet of carrier film that didn't respond to any of my decal solvents. I wound up only using the stripe for the diving bell and dumped everything else. Okay! Now to find my seamonster suit and take this sucker down to the local swimming pool!... Thanks for looking guys!

My finished Seaview.

This is the Flying Sub for the original (4 window) Moebius Seaview kit. I was looking for a way to display it and after seeing some wonderful naval storm dioramas in FSM I decided to do it this way, not an original concept by any means but a fun thing to do.
