Beautiful job! I've had that model (and the lighting kit) sitting on a basement shelf for YEARS...unbuilt. Along with about 12 other unbuilt models. One of these days.
Soylent Green and fantastic voyage in one night?! That's too much to take in in one night! 😅 Amazingly your comment reminded me that my parents took me to see fantastic voyage at the drive-in movie theater! We were all blown away by it!
I remember watching this movie in an Army theater in West Germany. I thought the place was gonna riot in that scene where they were trying to pull the antibodies off Rachel Welch.
There's a really funny story about that scene. They had to shoot at several times because, in the first take, the men were reluctant to touch anyplace sensitive on her body, and so they didn't have any real urgency to their movements. In later takes the men were told not to be so considerate, which then resulted in scenes that would definitely not make it on the final cut. In the end, the director and Miss Welch had the removal of antibodies thoroughly choreographed so the men would know exactly where they could reach so that they would not give offence or cause embarrassment, while also having their hands move quickly to convey the feeling of urgency necessary for the scene to work.
@@qakeith You did a magnificent job on the model. I have one myself, but didn't tackle the lighting. There was a company that came out with a circular hexagon base for the model that matched the one seen in the movie. That really adds to it, but would make it much harder to put into a display case, as you have done. Definitely greatly admire what you accomplished with this. It is interesting that the three greatest sci-fi submarines were all designed by Harper Goff: the Nautilus, the Seaview, and the Proteus.
@@x15galmichelleevans I agree totally and I was going to try to do something round but I wanted to have the nice case. I did try to make the honeycomb on the base somewhere roundish. Thanks for the nice comments. Stay tuned as my latest project is the Nautilus!!!!!
@@qakeith Yes, it is great that you that display case. Would be very difficult (and take up a lot of space!) to do some sort of round case. Looking forward to seeing what you have on the Nautilus. I have one as well that I have on the mantle above our fireplace. As many times as there has been some variation on the submarine in movies, the Disney version will always be the only proper manifestation of that beautiful vehicle.
Sweet! The music brings it all back ❤ Raquel squeezing into a wetsuit was a defining moment for a budding cineast. One idea: imagine the model being in a big lava lamp.
What a fantastic model that matches a fantastic movie. I wonder what it would be like remade with today special effects technology. I only hope they ge good actors to play the parts. No race swapping or messages. Just raw entertainment.
I recently read that a Hollywood producer is seriously thinking of doing a remake of Fantastic Voyage. You might get your wish. How well it turns out will be anyone's guess.
I hate to rain on everyone’s parade, but the end of one hour, the matter which made up the Proteus would have returned to normal size and the patient would have exploded.
Yes, that is correct, but they didn't have a proper way to deal with it in the movie version, so they just had the white corpuscles dissolve it (but even the dissolved bits would enlarge). In the book, Asimov did account for that, and brought the wreckage out with the micronauts.

@@lisamomon6793 Actually, it was written by Asimov because he didn't like the original concept, so he basically rewrote the same story from scratch, the way he wanted it to be, rather than what the screenwriters did the first time. I think the original movie and novelization was great. I felt that Asimov came off as sort of a spoilsport in writing the original over again, to suite his own vanity.. The original was the first and only novelization that Asimov ever wrote.

Dam you all to hell, Soylent green are people...😂
One of my favorite films of all time. I wouldn’t be against seeing this reenvisioned.
Wow , I would love one of these !

Yessssssss !!!!!!!!!
Those guys were having a good ol' time - they couldn't believe their luck with that script!

@@DanYHKim2 COOL
A great book by Issac Asimov too. He even did an essay explaining the mistakes and changes too. I read them again several times each year ❤❤❤
In the past I collected a lot of toys and models from movies. This one here would be one of my favorites, but I guess, this one is very expensive.
With all the extra stuff like the lighting, the figures, added photo etched parts, and the display case it was fairly expensive.

Deffinitely one of my favorite movies. I'm planning on 3D printing one of these soon.
Nice, good luck

Just... Beautiful!
Guys hollyweird cannot make good science fiction movies like this one, or any others, these are classics and have exilent special effects.
懐かしい！中学生の頃ハヤカワ文庫の原作読みました。確かアイザック・アシモフ氏の作品でした。因みに100%アシモフ氏の作品ではなく、後にミクロの決死圏2として100%アシモフ氏の作品が出ましたね。いやあそんな事よりも、嬉しい動画ありがとうございます、もういっぺん見よっと。
very good ship model,thanks,at least this is no just another click bait,like so many in youtube
Thanks so much!
It is a wonderful model.
Thanks so much. I really love this model and I think it needed to be lighted and on a decent base to look like the movie.
Una pelicula de culto, increible; la vi de niño en el cine cuando la estrenaron y todavia la recuerdo, me gustaria verla de nuevo !!!!!!!!
Greetings from argentina!!!!! Saludos de argentina!!!!!!

This movie needs to be remade and upgraded to today's CGI!
I disagree. Hollywood would just screw it up.
Look at the mess they made when they remade Andromeda Strain and Coma.
@@ghost307 Exactly. This movie was made perfectly the first time and does not need a remake.
I recently read that a Hollywood producer is seriously thinking of doing a remake of Fantastic Voyage. You might get your wish. How well it turns out will be anyone's guess.
@@thomaslevy2119Instead of a remake. A sequel should be made!!
@@deacondavis5098 I recall there was a Saturday morning cartoon series based on it
Isn't there a re make in the works...?
That's Fantastic! 😉
Thanks, good pun too!
@@qakeith 😉
Great work!!! (We own the movie, but are not allowed by YT to display) B&D - now South Africa...
That’s unfortunate

We could make a Fantastic Voyage VR game
Where’s Raquel??
She’s in there
@@qakeith - can’t find her…
She’s on the starboard side back seat. You just get a glimpse of her as I pan over the sub.
@@qakeith - I know what you mean, but the physiology is not right…
@@prtauvers It isn’t bad if I remember when I painted her! 😊👍
Wish they had made the sequel fantastic voyage the brain
The original movie went to the brain in the first place.
