Stingray Build

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Lol, You guys crack me up!! Well hopefully it wont be needed, Bath test first then onward and downward :)

Sorry about the hijacking of your thread.

Can't wait to see how your STINGRAY works in the water. What great work you do, sir!

Hello all, Back on this and just the painting to do, After that I will reassemble it all and do a bath test. Main aim is to get it on display for Andercon so full steam ahead.

Oh Man

You churn out these 1-offs with the speed of an Asian factory!...absolutely beautiful build. I fear that once the Stingray is done, there may be a HUGE demand for mass production. Seems like all guys of my generation watched that TV show and have secretly wanted one of their own. The Bad Guys sub...shaped like a Piranah (actually called the "Terror Fish).. was SUPER COOL.


Here is a pic of Gerry Anderson holding one of the ORIGINAL models

OK, Mamas, we've had our fun ... time to stop hi-jacking your thread.

I have a file of STINGRAY dope. If you think it would be useful to you, I would be delighted to copy it and mail it off to you. If so, I'll need your mailing address, contact me at, dmeriman@aol.com if interested.

Piloting your sub


Ok, Ok....so this is one of the women from "UFO", another Jerry Anderson production. God I miss the 70's and 80's

Guess who this is and what show did she appear in?........DUH!

[HardRock]

Easy.... she's the woman of my dreams and she appeared in an extended wrestling match culminating in a long series of barrel rolls late last night! So simple. Give me a hard one...(as the actress said to the Bishop).

... and that concludes another broadcast day

(cue the National anthem, fade to test-pattern, cue the tone)

Well, That's an easy one, the purple hair gives her away, as being part of the Gerry Anderson series "UFO". The helmet was later repurposed as part of the space suits in "Space 1999".

I find it amazing that you can actually engineer and make a working model that actually works under water...when the original models were mostly shot "Dry For Wet" using strings to propel them on a dry set.

Wooooh there, Nice of you to say but I have no idea if this thing will work under water, Anyway Plastic skids on and letting the paint go hard. Airbrush from here on :)

[RCnut]

This is the biggest pain in the Ass to paint and get it right, But now I'm happy with the lines :)

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

magnificent!

I wish my Hobby shop had a guy like you in it.

I never thought about it at the time, but in the show she rides so high, there's no way they could dive that thing
