Voyage to the Bottom of the
Sea Flying Sub Mockup
Model
The
photos on this page are courtesy of Bob Burns , and, as he
explains, "are shots of the mockup model of the interior of the of
the Flying Sub. This model was made to show, when the
full-size set was built, how and where the "wild" walls would be
located to allow camera access. You can see push-pins holding
the removable walls."
These shots show front (left)
and side (right) views of the Flying Sub cardboard mockup
model. The cardboard cutout figure at the left in both
photos above, is to indicate scale. The seated figures are
carved out of
wood.
At right, a top view
of the cardboard mockup showing the two seats and the
top deck hatch. There were a total of 5 moveable
"wild" walls. Models such as this aided greatly in
the design and construction of
sets.
