I received this e-mail and photos from fan Rick Teskey on February 7, 2005.

I just Love Irwin Allen stuff best and have built a few of my own Seaviews and Flying Subs. The wood / fiberglass model you have on the website I can say with 99.9 % certenty was not from the 20th Century Fox model shop. The shape is wrong and Seaview filming miniatures were not r/c.

I can appreciate the work some have done on this model too interpit the famous ship but this is a fan built hull. Here are a few pix of my 52 inch Seaview and 24 inch Flying Sub which I made from my molds in fiberglass so I can make copies.

I am retooling the Seaview hull so I can attach either bow 4 window (TV version ) or the 8 window Movie (original).

Best,

Rick Teskey

(*) Update: Received additional photos from Rick on February 17, 2004. Photos 10-14 are also fan-made Seaview replica's by Rick's friend, Dan Kachur of British Columbia Canada.

"Many thanks Rick, for sharing your great Voyage models with us!"
