My personal Voyage to the bottom of the Sea Seaview build. This model WAS a limited edition resin kit from Paul LUBLINER in the 1990’s. It WAS the eight window movie version. After purchasing and owning the model for several years as the eight window version, The model was severely damaged in an accident. So...instead of throwing it out, I grafted on an injected molded TV version nose, also by Paul LUBLINER.

I also added four more missle hatches,extended the walkway between the missle hatches to the rear escape hatch, hand cut NEW limber holes, filled in and sanded smooth the dead lights on the sail, added scratch built items on the rear wall of the interior while retaining and modifying the kits supplied photo etch interior braces ,updated the lighting and weathered and painted the model as it was seen during the production of the series per the 17’3” filming model, not as it is now after several “restorations”. The model is 26.3” in length. While I don’t know exactly how many kits were originally produced by Paul, I know this is a one of a kind build now and a treasured part of my Irwin Allen collection.

That’s really a nice model, Mark. Looking at it brings back so many memories.
I user to watch ‘Voyage’ as a kid, and it was part of the reason I went into the Navy Submarine force later in life.

Awesome job!
 
I own one of Paul's "Voyage Back To Your Youth" Seaview kits. Got it in 1992 from a seller who incorrectly ID'd it as a an Oz Shop kit in their listing in Starlog magazine. I believe that it was an extremely limited release back in the pre-internet 90's.
