Sorry for the long silence... I ran into major problems with getting my casting work done, and eventually switched casters and just went silent to stop making empty promises. Proteus has been scaled up to 48 scale so it is now 11 inches or so. Masters are at Custom Replicas, altough I just got the Hull top and bottom back to improve fit... it should be back into production next week... I will announce profusely when she is finally ready, but until then, I am trying to solve problems and leave the "hype" for when there is actual product available.
Sorry... soon... I NEVER give up... but I don't comprimise much either... she will be perfect!
This is abso-freakin-lutely BEEAUTIFUL!! Where is this displayed?? I am soooo damn jealous of your work here! The attention to detail is astounding!
Would you mind if I broke into the Smithsonian and stole it?
Rick Teskey made a fiberglass RC version of the Proteus that was close to studio scale... perhaps that's the one you're thinking of.[/QUOTE]
Carson, I am visiting this string as a new Prop Forum member of about 2 weeks now (2/2011). Is this kit out and available now?

Heres my entry for my own personal "How do you satisfy your (hopefully temporary) "PROTEUS jones" until the real model gets here....
I bought this lil 2 inch diecast PROTEUS on ebay from Australia for like 26.00 bucks. I painted it up myself.
All due recognition (and apologies?) to Randy Cooper as I "barrowed" his idea as to how to display it.
Tell me what ya think.
