Here are four of my images for the SEASTAR 5 Launch sequence....
The First image shows the SEASTAR 5 , a Carrier Battle Cruiser on its Goliath Launch Transporter System { LTS } as it prepares to move forward to Airlock One .
The submarines lighting internal systems are on.....
The Second image shows a view looking out from Airlock One , into Hanger One as the SEASTAR 5 slowly moves forward toward the Airlock.
Third Image is a low angle view on the SEASTAR 5 and Goliath in Hanger One....lighting systems are now more intense as the launch system transporter nears the Airlock .
Fourth Image shows the SEASTAR 5 and its transporter moving into Airlock one.
The SEASTAR 5 ...if it was actually real....would be six hundred feet in length , nuclear powered with two propulsion systems....one of which can propel the huge subcraft to supersonic supercavitation speed....over a 100 knots . A crew of eight Aquanauts , two DSR1's Flying subs , two RSV Rapid Strike Vehicles and 6 SEAFLY flying jetbikes are carried on this giant craft of the 21st Century .
More SEASTAR 5 images to come.

looking good Richard. The finished show will be something to see! Great to see some kitbashing going on in there, Airfik RAF Recovery vehicle, Saturn 1b, Airfix Girder Bridge!
ReplyDeleteAn extraordinary model design there Richard.
ReplyDeleteIs that orange glow some sort of front mounted propulsion system ?
Hi everyone.....thanks Woodsy for putting my pictures on show.....to answer some of the questions so far.....you are spot on with the kit bashing....I love that sort of thing.....I grew up with the "Gerry Anderson Teams way of doing things"....the SEASTAR 5 is scratch built...just under three feet in length....kit parts were used for decoration and provided suitable panel detail...the large glass area under the nose of the sub...it is part of the power system and also lighting as it make its way through the undersea world.....the heart of it is nuclear....but its what that is connected to ....something we have found and turned round to power these super subs....in the storyline for SEASTAR 5 INVADERS FROM THE ABYSS ....the mystery power source will be revealed as the adventure story moves forward through the six books I have written go on sale later this year and into 2024....will be posting more images from this storybook series of mine on here shortly....keep the questions coming . I will try to answer them.....Regards To you all for looking in on these images...Richard Dixon .
