- It's a nostalgic trip down memory lane for me as I build the Monogram offering of deep ocean transport, as seen in the TV series SeaQuest DSV. The show had an unprecedented two-season order out of the gate.

That show was such a Huge Thing for me, as a kid!
But the irony of watching one of the creators - focused on CGI effects Only, at the time - build a miniature version of one of the ships, is Not Lost on me.
Love this! The commentary on the build and the show are therapy on their own!
Really enjoyed that show when i was a kid. Looking forward to seeing your completed model.
Project is looking great!
Thanks for the behind the scenes info! Seaquest was one of my favorites and still is. I have it on DVD and pop it in and watch it every now and then. And your right, just like another great show Battlestar Galactica way ahead of its time. I have in my collection here every one of those kits from Seaquest. I have the Seaquest herself the dolphin shaped one man sub Darwin a real dolphin and the kit you're building now. Bought them all when they first came out. Told myself I wouldn't build them till I had the skill and knowledge to light them and mostly the technology. Back then it was hard to find small lighting systems. Then life happened to get in the way and they've been in my ever growing collection of unbuilts. But that's good because now my skills and technology have caught up. Time to dig them out.
Thoroughly enjoyed that. It's look amazing. You know you should do a Producers commentary for the pilot episode of Seaquest DSV. Those anecdotal stories always captivate me.
I remember watching sea quest when I was a kid in the 90s
I had the Seaquest years ago. It didn't survive the moves between air bases, unfortunately. I was proud of the paint job I did on it.
I loved the show in the beginning.
Wow!! Had no idea about the backstory of the show, one of my favorites. Model on Sir!
Thanks Phil for the Info´s 🙂 SeaQuest DSV was very big thing here in Germany, we all loved the show, was great....only the last season 3 was...difficult^^
I'm actually building the same kit and thought it was really cool finding out that you helped develop one of my favorite shows! I decided to scratch build the grating using a section of gutter screen
Phil, considering your history with the subject…it amazes me you waited this long to build it. Fun build and I can’t wait to see the finished product.
Wow awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Loved Seaquest at the time. Always thought it was the natural successor to Voyage to the Bottom of the sea. PS: and your Dr. Who: best Tardis ever.
Never watched it but will track it down now I know it's one of yours!!!
Phil I could listen to your all day talk about your Sea Quest days I absolutely loved that show...I want to find a Sea Quest Model and build it....I'll get your advice on how it should be painted enjoying watching you build this kit...
When I received notification of the new episode, my initial reaction was, "What an odd kit for Phil to do." Your intro cleared all of that up, and I found your commentary about the show very interesting (and I bet you have more great stories). The build is a fine example of taking a mediocre kit and making it into something special.
Ya know, 30 something me never imagined I would actually correspond with the guy who produced SeaQuest. That is cool beyond measure man!
looks great didnt know you worked on the show i loved it i was 9 when it came out 40 now lol
I really liked seaQuest I wish you could bring it back now
Loved the show! Watched with my son and we both were disappointed that it didn't gain traction. Now I'm on the hunt for the kit!!
Really enjoyed hearing the background and your involvement in producing Seaquest Phil. I remember watching the original episodes as they screened each week. If I recall correctly one of the characters had a Miami or Florida World Series champions hat or shirt that in reality the actual team ended up winning within a year or two of the date on the costume. Keep up the great work. You helped inspire me to start building again after a 20 hear hiatus!
That was the Whiz Kid Lucas, and it was the Florida Marlins.
Expanded metal I believe is the word that eluded you. Nice build.
Thank you!🙏
I just discovered your channel and I’ve watched a few videos so far and I’m absolutely loving everything that I have watched. You have a new subscriber from me.
Welcome! 🙏🖖
We Need MORE SeaQuest Models!!!
Someone is missing the opportunity to generate a Lot of cannon!
Loved seaQuest, it was such a cool concept. This is going to be a great watch!
Can't like this video enough. Seaquest was a large part of my childhood Saturday evenings in the UK and now I'm 'slightly' older I spend my time gathering every piece of Seaquest merch and memorabilia I can. Please continue these sequest builds. Have you ever considered doing a behind the scenes book or making of video for CZcams about Seaquest?
I did a build up of the seaQuest on my channel a while back and did a little more commentary on that one.
Love all the commentary along with the build. I loved Sea Quest!
Coming along nicely Phil! It's awesome that you produced the original show!
Really liked seaQuest series. Great build as usual. You do inspire.
Excellent Work Phil, Loved the inside Info on Sea Quest.
This was just nice-- interesting odd decision about the clear sides. As for clear parts just sitting in the box-- well, that's how they did it. The interior lighting is good fun-- well lit, though I would'a not gone for the full dark interior. I would have lightened the dark-- atmospheric distancy concept. Just to see a big more.
Yes, it is intensely cool that you were the show and this is one of those concepts. The show came along when I was indisposed to watching anything requiring a commitment of time. So I missed a lot around then. Listen, how often do you get a chance to ramble with an interested audience? Go ahead. What was Roy like? How tough was your own "Bruce," Darwin, to work with? Etc. Just what does a producer produce? C'mon, philosophize. I might understand if you speak of this only during this build, but you opened up the world of Who with your book, why not one for this? As welcome as ramble along is here, a book would collect your thoughts and digital pre-press is so much easier nowadays for photos and such.
Seaquest was a brilliant tv show.
Oh wow! This is a major blast from the past!! I think I had all (or most) of the models for this show! The DSV itself and the Stinger (i think it was?) are laying about somewhere. But this miner/transport ended up being scrapped some time ago, sadly (sad-er yet, I shoulda kept it for kitbash parts, but didn't think about it). And Darwin... idk what happened to.
Will you be doing any of the others after this, at some point?
I built the SQ a while back on the channel.
Wasn't there a kit of the sub too? Long, sleek & kind of camouflage I think. What about the robots the kids were killing each other with? That would be something to see.
We loved SeaQuest, the second series unfortunately didn't have the same standards as the first series.
Used to love the Bob Ballard bit at the end
Always thought the deep ocean transport would make a great low orbit runabout...
It sounds like you've had a fascinating career. Would you ever consider putting it down in book form? Or even giving your full account from your time making 'Seasquest' and 'Star Trek'? What might seem trivial and insignificant to you may well provide better clarity.
I did write a book about bringing Doctor Who back in 1996 - it’s called Doctor Who: Regeneration
is Diamond Plate the word you're looking for?
You know, I'd take some .020 Styrene sheet & glue it over the bottom of the skids. zepoxy maybe so the edges don't melt. Maybe quicker than fill ans sand.
Would a metal mesh sheet for gundam models work for making the fence like material?
It certainly could!! Sometimes you just have to try a few different types of material and what doesn’t work is obviously kept in the diorama build parts box!
Hey something just popped up in my head what if this truck belonged to the clampets in Beverly Hillbillies in the future that would be great or its Sanford and Son truck😅
Why did you do the talking vegetables like lost in space? Where you out of the loop at that point?
Stepped away after season one.
@@sprueVerse That's a shame, it could have been so much better.
At 19:21 "that went to the Titanic which is 6 miles beneath the ocean" No it is not! It is 2.4 miles down! Where on Earth did you get 6 miles from?
I stand corrected - 🙏
