any know of a company that does a gaming mini of the 60's TV sub Seaview? looking for either metal or resin. |

I think Comet might have made one in metal, decades ago, like in the 1970s, or 1980s. There used to be plastic kits of the Seaview, though they are probably scarce and expensive now. The little Furuta Skydivers from the old UFO show are very nice, if you're willing to consider other options. |

Actually there are a number of Seaview kits out there now, but probably too big for most wargames. link Mike Bunkermeister Creek

A 1/700 scale Seaview would be a good match for the big ships in the "monster capital ships" genre (like the various Spartan Games offerings, or Battlefleet Gothic). |

The real question is "how big/what scale"? John T |

I would like to see one from 3 to 6 inches in length. |

USOS Seaview is ~560 feet long based on the Wiki article, so a 1/700 scale model will be ~9.6" long. Guess you'd need something about 1/1200 to 1/2000 scale. |

shooting for 1/2400 scale. |
