I actually had a working model of the Seaview I got through an advertisement that was on a cereal box when I was small. It was about 10 inches long and had a hidden compartment where you put in a tablespoon of baking soda and it would react with the water to make bubbles like it was really cruising along in the bathtub. That was fun...lol
Carl and I are enjoying the heck out of this colorized high quality reproduction. This has brought back great memories of family gathering around TV Sunday nights locked in on the story. Thank you. 🙏🏼
My girlfriends would have ostracized me but I loved the Seaview. It was so beautiful I imagined living on it. To this day I have a model and poster of the schematics. I grew up in St. Louis and one day as I drove down Florissant Rd I nearly wrecked because there out in the playground of a daycare was a model of the Seaview! Turns out it was reproduced to scale by an engineer who worked for McDonnell Douglas in St Louis. The model shown in the series was 8 ft long eventually ended up in a museum in Portland OR I think but since has gone into moth balls. If I were a billionaire I would make a replica that could take people on an excursion and cast the immediate crew to look as close to the original as possible.
Most don’t realize the flying sub was originally built to operate with the fins underneath. They decided to flip it to fins on top it had a better look.
Hi, Keith. On the Seaview where did the torpedos leave the sub? As they only showed the torpides comming from under the Seaview. With the camera pointing toeards the observation nose. And Seaview was tilted towards the camera so you could not see the bottom of the ship when they where fired forward.. I love your Diorama it so show perfect. You did a great job. Stay safe to you and your loved ones.
OUTSTANDING WORK!! You COMPLETELY captured the realism of the show in all of the features of the Seaview in peacetime, complete with the Flying sub!! I love the lighted interior shots on both and the diorama is beautifully made! Kudos to keeping a Irwin Allen's vision and our childhood fascination ALIVE!!😃👍
It’s a kit and it’s about 39 inches long. I didn’t care for it just sitting on its original stand so I made the diorama instead. Thanks for the nice comment.
Lovely craftsmanship. The one thing I never understood is that the sub had torpedoes but these are never shown on the model. In one episode i think it was Crane gave the order to fire stern tubes, So both front and aft tubes.
Thanks so much. Yes, I made the entire diorama and model myself. I do a lot of dioramas on my N scale train layout, so I was familiar with using the products that I did. The only thing I added that I didn’t make with a plastic aquarium plants. I think it came out pretty cool though especially with the lighting. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
That would be cool and I actually did try to think of a way to have bubbles coming out. Alas I stayed with this idea instead. Thanks for liking and watching.
Thanks so much, I would like to keep it though, sorry. I love looking at it in my man cave! Just thought it up one night trying to get to sleep. I have a lot of model train diorama building supplies and it incorporates a lot of the base materials, i.e. sculpting plaster, foam board, etc. The outer coating is a granite look spray paint. The plants are artificial aquarium plants.
I don't blame you, I wouldn't want to sell it either if it was mine. So much work clearly as gone in to making it. It must look fantastic lit up. Thank you for posting it for all the "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea," fans to see.. What a treat.

DEFINATELY,...THE GREATEST, MOST INCREDIBLE SUBMARINE OF ALL TIME..."THE SUPER SUB"!!!!!!
I actually had a working model of the Seaview I got through an advertisement that was on a cereal box when I was small. It was about 10 inches long and had a hidden compartment where you put in a tablespoon of baking soda and it would react with the water to make bubbles like it was really cruising along in the bathtub.

I remember that!
Same I wish I had it now as I wish I had all the token collections from the 60's I once had
Sounds like a small toy submarine I got as a prize from a box of Cracker Jacks when I was around nine or ten.
Really?! Wow!
I had the same type but they were yellow and Los Angeles class submarines.
They were about 7 or 8 inches long.
I think I remember having that same thing, when I was growing up too. So cool!
Egad, my childhood just flashed before my eyes. Use to love that show.
Beautiful model! Well done.
Absolutely stunning, beautiful representation, incredible detail, that even even Admiral Nelson would be jealous of😮😊🙏🙏🙏💯
Thank you so much, appreciate the comment!😁😁
Holy Smokes! That theme song has appeared in my mind every so often for 60 years! Now I know where it came from.

Beautiful model work! I like the detailed control room as seen through the front windows.
Got to love those Cadillac fins , what a great design
Without a doubt, the stern section bears a striking resemblance to my `61 Cadillac Coupe de Ville!
That... is... AWESOME!!
Beautiful work including the flying sub.
Very good show one of my top fave.. I still like watching today 👍✨👍
Me too, cheesy special effects but I loved the sub.
Fantastic model, very high level of craftsmanship 👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you very much! Appreciate your comment.
That's great! Especially the lighting and sea floor base!
Thanks so much. I had fun making it.
Great looking Seaview diorama Keith.👍
Oh wow just this excellent
Music is the best!
Spectacular work 👏 and live how it is displayed . Would be nice to see the mini sub in the scene also but overall great job !
Thanks so much. I did consider the mini sub but ultimately just went with the diving bell! It was fun to make.
Most don’t realize the flying sub was originally built to operate with the fins underneath. They decided to flip it to fins on top it had a better look.
Very nice! I like that the ship and flying sub have actual interiors. :)
loved this show as a kid
I had the voyage to the bottom of the sea play set when I was a kid. My mom took me to the original movie back in the mid 1960s. Great modeling.
WOULD BE SO NEAT IF THE UNITED STATES HAD THIS IN R E A L L I F E!!!
Superb ❤
Excellent diorama! Thanks for sharing !!!
Yes the flying sub would fit in the nose section but there would be no room for people to walk around and look out of the windows.
Hi, Keith. On the Seaview where did the torpedos leave the sub? As they only showed the torpides comming from under the Seaview. With the camera pointing toeards the observation nose.

Nice job!🙂
Your skill is absolutely amazing, and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your work of beauty with us.
Thanks so much. Appreciate the compliment!
nice,thanks for sharing
“OUTSTANDING”!!!!!!
OUTSTANDING WORK!! You COMPLETELY captured the realism of the show in all of the features of the Seaview in peacetime, complete with the Flying sub!! I love the lighted interior shots on both and the diorama is beautifully made! Kudos to keeping a Irwin Allen's vision and our childhood fascination ALIVE!!😃👍
Excellent rendition of the kit and great diorama.
This was the show during its time. I used to say as a little child, " Voyage to The Bottom of The Tube."
Wow like WOW!!!!!! That is an awesome build! Was this scratch build??? Did you use a kit??
It’s a kit but I added the lights and additional photoetched parts in the interior. I did the stand/diorama from scratch. Glad you like it. Thanks!
I Still Have My Model Seaview Sub I Put Together In The Late 70's,,Early 80's,,🌊
That is pretty cool :-). Love that you're able to see in through the windows.
Beautiful and inspiring Keith!
fantastic work and details 😎👍
The Flying Sub is a magnificent vehicle.
I love the flying Sub!
Built that same model but doesn't look half as good. Shows what someone who knows what they're doing can do.
Thanks so much
Great job on the model,
Thanks so much. I never realized so many people would remember this TV show and like my model! 😁
OMG, it even has an interior! Beautifully done! How big is it? Is it scratch-built? Based on a kit? Outstanding work!
It’s a kit and it’s about 39 inches long. I didn’t care for it just sitting on its original stand so I made the diorama instead. Thanks for the nice comment.
@@qakeith I didn't even mention the stand, which was also beautifully crafted. You can almost sense a sea monster lurking nearby.
Maravilloso!! Gran serie
Very nice, impressive work!
The actual sea view sold for 2.5 million
Lovely craftsmanship. The one thing I never understood is that the sub had torpedoes but these are never shown on the model. In one episode i think it was Crane gave the order to fire stern tubes, So both front and aft tubes.
yup - The Death Ship! Saw it last night..
Excellent. Well done.
素晴らしい！
Guauu de lujo el submarino de viaje al fondo del mar
Wow, total AWESOMENESS! Great looking diorama. Do you make these yourself?
Thanks so much. Yes, I made the entire diorama and model myself. I do a lot of dioramas on my N scale train layout, so I was familiar with using the products that I did. The only thing I added that I didn’t make with a plastic aquarium plants. I think it came out pretty cool though especially with the lighting. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
Is this the 350 scale, or the larger 135 scale kit? It looks amazing!
It’s the larger 39” version. Thanks for the comment!
Good Show, Nice Work.
Thank you. Appreciate the comment!
@@qakeith Touche' (smile)
very nice thank you!
outstanding
Thank you! 🤗
Waooooooooo
Ini film. Legenda masa kecilku di tahun 60 skarang usiaku sudah 64 Tahun. 🙏😂😂😁
Very nice indeed. Have you thought of a model in a fishtank though where you could have bubbles comming out of various areas?
That would be cool and I actually did try to think of a way to have bubbles coming out. Alas I stayed with this idea instead. Thanks for liking and watching.
Wow ! That is wonderful & amazing. How on earth did you make that & is it for sale...?
Thanks so much, I would like to keep it though, sorry. I love looking at it in my man cave! Just thought it up one night trying to get to sleep. I have a lot of model train diorama building supplies and it incorporates a lot of the base materials, i.e. sculpting plaster, foam board, etc. The outer coating is a granite look spray paint.
