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!

Dam you all to hell, Soylent green are people...😂

Yessssssss !!!!!!!!!

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

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.

@@DanYHKim2 COOL

Thanks so much. I think the lighted base adds a lot to the display. Appreciate the comment

i agree

With all the extra stuff like the lighting, the figures, added photo etched parts, and the display case it was fairly expensive.

@@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.

Thanks so much!

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.

Nice, good luck

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

Thanks, good pun too!

@@qakeith 😉

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.

That’s unfortunate

Thanks so much, I thinks it’s cool and I always loved it too!

@@qakeith Touche' (smile)

The original movie went to the brain in the first place.

@@x15galmichelleevans Fantastic Voyage 2 Destination the Brain based on the second novel.doctors. travel inside a comatose patient to retrieve memories

@@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.

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! 😊👍
