On
this page, Gary Cannavo's breathtaking Seaview model as constructed
by Ed Miarecki from patterns made by Paul Lubiner and as seen on the
Fantasy Worlds of Irwin Allen. The nose section was located
and molded off the original 8 1/2 foot surviving section by
Paul. The remainder was constructed out of 8 1/8" PVC tube
(provided by Dennis deBoer) with sculpted Keel, Chines, Skeg,
Tailfin, Engine Nacelle (turned at Tony Meininger's shop while "Deep
Space Nine" was being constructed in Burbank, Ca.) The
Tailcone, Decking, Sail, and Diving Planes were made from
Poplar or Gelutong woods. An extension to the surving nose was
made from Plexi- Glass and applied to a dupe casting (leaving the
original intact.) This finshed "pattern" is what June Lockhart
is standing beside in "The Fantasy Worlds of Irwin Allen" making
this the very last "Genuine 20th Century Fox, Seaview
Miniature."
Paul Lubliner was "Property
Master" on that shoot--check out the credits. These
