Please feel free to use this thread for all of your "Hollywood at Sea" discussions, including posting build updates...it's a great way to experience everybody's builds...and if you're looking for a place to upload and display your images for THIS campaign, then follow this link to the official "Hollywood at Sea" Campaign Gallery!

With this said, mates, let's have a fun, exciting campaign!

Keep Modeling!

Hi
Have started to drill out the holes in the side of the Hull on my Sub ( operation Petticoat )very long job

I actually started on my Monogram Nimitz (Final Countdown, or The Philadelphia Experiment). Very easy kit, no details, not a "good" kit BUT should be a fun build and a nice springboard into carrier builds, been ages since I did one. Will post blog pics in a few days.

Sounds great mates!

I am thinking of joining.. I have the Seaview to build and have just been thinking about it this just might be the way to get started..

C'mon 'aboard, Kelly!
The Seaview would be perfect for this campaign...........

Welcome aboard Kelly!

Later,
Kelly

Bravo Zulu, Kelly, welcome aboard, mate!

Cheers,
~Gunny

Uploaded pic's of the kit I will start soon getting some stuff together is all I am waiting on.. I have two different opinions on what the hull color is so guess I will go with artistic lic.

Hey Kelly...don't know if you've seen this yet or not, here's all about the original studio models, mate...some decent color images..........
Seaview

YES!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a bunch I like the darker colors and that is what I want is a little confirmation that more of a blue grey was used..
Later,
Kelly

I'll throw my hat into the ring with the Gohten-Go from the 1963 Japanese movie, Atragon. The Gohten-Go is one of those end of the war super weapons that doesn't get used in WW2, but instead is used to save mankind from campy baddies. Super sub? Check. Super sub that also happens to be able to fly? Check. Absolute Zero Cannon? Check. Huge drill? Check. Hot Mu Empress? Check. Over the top action? Double Check!

Here's a picture of a Japanese modeler's Gohten-Go build....



Here's the original trailer:

cool. I love empress's with bright red hair
Where is flash Grodon when ya need him

Very cool, Mr. Bell!
I love this campaign...it gives us all a chance to really let your creativity flow with the fantasy subjects, and not worry too much about the mismatched davits or the oversize flagbags...this is going to be alot of fun to watch!

Cheers,
~Gunny

I got my wiring done still waiting on some stuff and put a good portion of her together. Painting will be interesting as large as she is so I ordered an air hose (new puppy ) for the other gun and will see what mess I can make.

Looking good guys.

I was tempted to bring my 1/72 Gato with me when we went to my parents to ride out Himacane Ike but decided not to.

Keep up the good work!

welcome aboard Kelly and look forward to your build!

Dade - what a GREAT interesting build...

Alrighty, the special edition Gohten-Go with PE and aluminum drill just shipped out to me from Hobby World Japan. This build should be interesting...

Hey Mark!

Thanks for the heads-up!

I already know what I am going to make
(rumble rumble)
It is going to be...... (what else???)

a 1/700 USS Dallas from The Hunt for Red October presented in a small dio
I'll be using the old DML/Dragon model plus some things from the spare box

Well being laid up helps the build to go better. All I need is to finish the sanding and then paint but I expect that to take awhile.
Later,
Kelly

That sounds great Rui!

Kenny

I've the kit of the Sea Quest that I would like to build for this campaign. Now, let's see if I can actually get one completed for once.
