Fantastic Modeling, Volume 7

A Report to the Cabal:

CultTVman (AKA Steve Iverson, the owner and operator of the best and one of the oldest web sites dedicated to the craft of science fiction and fantasy model building) has just introduced a three-hour DVD set that chronicles my buildup of the fifty-seven inch long DeBoer Hulls SEAVIEW kit. At $17.95 this jam-packed video is a gold-mine of information.

I recommend this DVD for those wishing to learn more about the techniques of master making, tool making, resin and metal casting, priming and putty work, painting, weathering, and operation of a practical r/c submarine.

To order this DVD go to the CultTVman Hobby Shop at, http://www.culttvman. biz/ and place your order.

And may I also recommend, Fantastic Modeling, Volume 5, my buildup of the Teskey twenty-four inch wide FLYING-SUBMARINE into a practical r/c submarine model, that DVD selling for $11.95.

The Master Himself! A screen-grab from the Fantastic Modeling, Volume 7 two-DVD set. You'll love the 'Blooper' section at the end of disc-2.

Through the years I've authored several Internet articles that deal with the craft of model building. Most of those illustrated pieces reside at the CultTVman site. You can look them over at your leisure at:
