If you look on the outside border of the Seaspeeder,you will see the bioskin webbing pattern and its coloring. Bob, this was a detail I just recently noticed, could help with painting. It may also have dramatic lighting applied for underwater effect

Ooo sweet!Dave, I'm glad you got one of these...you're gonna rc it???...where's your build blog, I'll be glued to it....lol. gonna paint it too??? I'll try and help a bit...model was scanned off my series maquette, so shape is dead bolts accurate...we had to do a ton of research on all the details and such to finish up the master set of parts...can't wait to see how you do on this...

Check my reasoning here, Will: I'm going to clobber the bioskin at the seams were I work them with abrasives and fillers. I was thinking of pulling a thin, rubber 'texture pad' off the model and use that to impress (re-establish) the bioskin texture at areas rendered smooth by such work. Make sense?

I'm thinking I'm going to use the ole' sandpaper-less technique I employed for the 50th Nautilus boat masters, using laquer thinner (or nail polish remover) nitrostan or other glazing media, a rag, and a brush to get seaming done without removing detail, basically, no sanding requiredComment

One steerable eyeball in the crotch and use tenticul as a speed brake or 4 small bilge pumps with a flexible tube too each tentcul for a longer moment armComment

Well, it's taken a lot of patience getting through some major life events, but I'm finally ready to order my own SeaQuest!
My question is that I've watched the how-to video on YouTube a few times, and it mentions that there's a sheet of the bio-skin pattern available to order, but I don't see it listed anywhere on the Nautilus Drydocks store. Is there a link to this somewhere?
And I hope some of those posters are still available! I'm one of the biggest Questies you'll ever meet and I am ready to go all in on this baby!Comment
