My favorite photo is Dave in the red shirt. Holding the Seaview like he’s slapping a bass guitar.

So after watching the videos you posted, I have my first questions.

During the video of the 1/128 Moebius kit in the big pool, I believe you said you thought you should add some bow planes to the front of the Seaview as she tends to dive with that big wing in the front.

Did you do that? If so, was it a cut of the wing and how wide did you go?

That's something I will have to plan for in modifying my Ken Lane files.

Also, I think it might be best if I create a new topic based solely on the Ken Lane Seaview so as not to disrupt this forum.

I can just see fat-ass trying to tear out of a phone-booth while shedding shirt, tie, and glasses.

Fair enough.

I've assembled my share of SEAVIEW kits and got them working. From my vast array of experiences perhaps I can help you.

What, specifically, may I assist you with?



Thank you very much for sharing that vast array of reference photos and videos!

At this time, I was more concerned with any issues printing the 3D model files of the 8 Window variant designed by Ken Lane and as supplied by Nautilus Drydocks. I was also looking to see if someone working this specific model had thoughts about operational internals for a build of this size.

This is being constructed for my boss who is a big VTTBOTS fan. I only have 5 sections of the lower hull printed so far. Preliminary fit up looks good. We are doing the full 1:72 size version.

We will certainly be referencing the material you have shared and when a more specific question arises, I will be certain to contact you.

Thanks again!

The secret’s out — no glue, just sheer willpower and a death stare strong enough to weld plastic.

All those pilgrimages to Tibet eventually paid off.

Talk about eyeballing the real estate.

Yeah, I wasn't sure where to post the question. This thread seems to have the most activity and covers a lot of active work so I thought that more people might see it. Was hoping someone actively working on one might be somewhere on here.

I've browsed around on the forum but I don't see any posts (unless I'm missing them) regarding the 3D printed Seaview from Ken Lane. I've been slowly working on this and I'm just wondering if anyone else is. Looking to see what you're doing/planning for your build.

always loved the lines of the Alfa. what’s scale is that new one, David?

Same as the old one, 1/72

(And, no. I was referring to the other old one... the one in foreground... Jake!)
