The Abyss Cab One

SVTStingRay · 09-28-2011, 08:56 PM

anyone ever do a studio scale kit?

Not to my knowledge, although our very own Rolando Guiterrez (Echoleader) did have a big passion for these mini's a while back i recall. He did go on a hiatus though, but i hope, one day he will come back and begin work on one of these, they are very killer cool.

DaveG supervised the construction of the Abyss miniatures. Maybe we can convince him to produce a kit... I'll shoot him a PM to bring his attention to this thread.

Hey guys! Yes I was the modelshop supervisor for Dream Quest Images, the principle VFX facility on The Abyss. I have toyed around with the idea of doing replica kits of the Cab and Flatbed submersibles for awhile now. Maybe if there is enough interest...

SVTStingRay · 09-29-2011, 11:55 PM

be nice to see a kit of either of the subs. hell, a minature of the deepcore even better! oh geez my checkbook is giving me that evil look again.........

I'd buy into anything from this movie, alien ship, submersibles the nuke. Anything at all.

starwarsdoc · 09-30-2011, 08:47 AM

DaveG, I'd be interested in making the subs and the deepcore. Also the alien craft (I know they were odd ships and not too eye-catching without the light effects, but still interesting). If you the reference/memory (and I know you have the know-how) please PM me with what sort of interest ($) you'd need to make some models of these great pieces. I'd love to chat about the possibilities.

I love the submersibles from this movie and would be very interested if cab kits were made.

tsenecal · 09-30-2011, 06:41 PM

I would be very interested in models of either of the submersibles (i like flatbed more than cab one, but would take either) .

heck, i would be happy to just get enough photos and detailed measurements to make my own models. does anybody have any links?

any good hi-rez pics of the models or of the plans for them. id love to see them, or even purchase some plans.

I for one would love to see this built and the NTI Ark.

I find the NTI Ark to be very elaborate and the coolest part of the movie.

All the best!

I do have lots of photos of the models from the Abyss, I've just got to dig them up. And they are all slides, I beleive, so they need to be scanned. Not so sure about drawings, I think those are long gone. But I do have some original parts...

PHArchivist · 10-07-2011, 07:39 AM

I am currently in the process of scanning my parents slide archive. Scanner does 16 slides per cycle. Dedicated PC for the project.

You likewise may already have the necessary equipment. And those images are - I'm sure - quite valuable.

But if you want help, just let me know.
