I for one, would like to see the rest of the detail interior work Harry! It is really interesting to watch your progress, but I have to say, that you have a lot more patience than I could muster. The Stingray is going to look great when finished,so keep the episodes coming mate. Cheers from below the border!
One of my most favorite parts of building (usually ships) is to put pencil to paper on a drafting table and define what I see in my brain or from research. These efforts really make the build your own. Enhancing or replacing whole sections, that is model building.
I'm loving these vids! I'm a huge Gerry Anderson fan, especially Thunderbirds, but I love Stingray too. Everything you mention about the interior not matching up perfectly with the exterior and how not every model looked exactly the same is the exact same thing I noticed with the Thunderbirds models! Can't wait to see more of this stingray model!
great show, allmost sorry that I gave up On. plastic models, but today i only build wood modelships. I love All modelbuilding, and love watching your show.
@@HarryHoudiniModels so did I back then, I Kitbashed and build a lot of wacformed kits , but My first love was wood, and you know how it is with first love
Scratch building is a very defined skill. Some guys might like that little bit of extra knowledge. I'd say given today's money troubles you should show that bit of help. Anyway awesome video as always Harry.
Excellent stuff Harry, for me I would want to see every little piece. You could maybe try vacuform the windows if a mistake was made cutting out that centre piece of clear?
Very good working-out of proportions there Harry! It's looking good! And yes, please do show the making of these components, and certainly the steering columns, etc! 👍 Can hardly wait to see what you have in store with this Stingray.... 😊
Thanks Harry, I’m enjoying your scratch building planning. Go creativity, better than perfect engineering of some kits! You have my vote on individual part construction. Thanks.
Listening to taimya money maker and heard you did the stingray... stingray, did, delada, dada.. so pretending to listen to the wife moan about something I forgot to do and watching your videos on building it... u earned a slap on the leg from the ball-n-chain but well worth it
Great build so far Harry, really enjoying it! Stingray was one of my favourite shows as a child. Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, but it seems to me that behind that door at the back was a lift down to the lower level which I think is where the cabins were.
I havecthis very same model but I have not started it yet. I am very much enjoying what you are doing. I also think you should keep going. Even though some of us already know some of these techniques there are others that do not and can benefit from the examples.
Thanks Christopher… I have had a big response from viewers wanting to see more of my methods and techniques for scratch building, so I will continue to show each stage.
Dear Harry, excellent tutorial - thank you. I'm looking forward to the next instalment. I would certainly be interested in all the 'how to' sections. Best Wishes Johnny
I am enjoying this, Harry. Perhaps not necessary to show all parts being built completely, but rather reserve that for major items that are more interesting, require interesting techniques/materials, etc, and just show what is planned and then the completed item for other bits. It's just as interesting to hear your thoughts and reasoning as you go as it is to see the parts made up. Thanks. Heh! It took me a while to become pragmatic about interiors and not spend too much time of stuff that could hardly be seen. Shep Paine's "gizmology" and the spares box was much in evidence. :-)
Another great video, Harry, on your Stingray build (part two). I've just got back into building kits again after 30 plus years, so I do appreciate watching your reviews, demonstrations and builds. Kit building has moved on from the days when I was making Airfix kits, back in the late sixties and seventies, as a young lad here in the UK. Brings back happy memories of watching Stingray and Thunderbirds on the old black and white TV. However, I did notice that you didn't measure up and count the twenty rivets around the back door frame! Will these be in the finished model for accuracy? Joking apart... It's really a pleasure to watch your videos. Now that I have retired, due to ill health, I have found renewed pleasure in building kits again. I have purchased the Airfix Paddel Steam engine, Beam engine and the Combustion engine...which I remember building as a nipper. I will have a go at building these kits first...as they are fairly easy for someone coming back to the hobby after some years. If only youngsters could see what they are missing, instead of wasting their time playing mindless computer zomby games, they would learn some skills that will stand them in good stead later in life. Your doing a grand job Mate.
Plus it expands your knowledge on history and mechanics as well as teaches you patience and discipline. Something missing from the instant want it now Amazon generation.
Go for it Harry , I would like to see your ideas and what you use for the seats and control column . How are you going to do Troy , Phones and Marina ?
Sorry Harry but I just had to, if Troy and Marina had kids would they be called " small fry" . Love the build so far . Your logic on layout is something I will have to start doing more often. Go ahead for the seats and steering column and seats.
In most films the inside of submarines are like the TARDIS. In this case they had the problem in that the actors were marionettes with all those strings attached. That explains the vertical walls of the interior model.
That's fascinating Harry. Until that still you showed in the video I had never realised the interior set had windows with vertical pillars etc. However, the green blinds you reference are not blinds in my opinion buy an attempt to convey on screen the outside water surrounding Stingray. In other external shots you see that Stingray appears to have venetian blinds to the windows. Yes please carry on with more interior detailing 👍
Another great video! I thought your explanation of measuring from images to be quite valuable and you did a great job of explaining it. I would like to see how you make the "cockpit" section (since it seems that it will be the most visible portion of the interior when everything gets buttoned up. Have you thought of using a battery operated Dremel-like drill for all of the pin-vise work you do? Again, many thanks for this and the other videos.
I have a tool, not Dremel brand, but I find it can burn or melt the plastic, even at the slow speed setting. The pin vice is quick and easy for me with less chance of a major cock up or melt down.
I would like to see more of the interior detail building. Is it just me or is the interior detail inconsistent in itself. Looking at the picture from the front (around 1 minute into the video) at the back there seems to be just the table and couches on the sides. The picture at the end, at 28 minutes, shows them sitting on chairs at the table.
I second the comment thar a vacuformed window unit might be worth exploring. You're going through a lot of effort to build an accurate interior and it would be a real shame not to see the finished work as well as possible, not to mention that the distortion of the curved areas would be minimized. Great work!
It does have merit. Not something I have done before so I would need to either find someone who can do it for me, or spend the time working it out for myself.
I had a look at the still shots from that episode. Window frames are still vertical to the deck but the camera angles are all slanted in that episode, which may give the illusion that the window frame pillars are angled.
@@HarryHoudiniModels Thanks for the comment Harry. Cheering you on in your progress. I notice you don’t use rotary tools like a Dremel…. Have you tried them, or do you dislike them?
I have a rotary tool, not a Dremel, but even at slow speed it tends to melt the plastic. I’m very happy to pin vice, sand and scrape. It still gets done.
In the 60’s it was more common to chroma key off blue as it was done analog not digitally. In some of the still shots I have from the TV show you see fish in the windows. I was told the green was supposed to be how the sea looked from underwater.

Good on you Kevin.. more to come this weekend
Please keep showing how you are making the details, Harry. It is fascinating seeing your workings.
No problem Ian.. I am on it

Good on you Gary… I was worried it might get boring. I’ll show as much as I can about construction and measuring in the next video.

Me too. Love watching the detailed work

You are singing my song Mark
Hi Harry
I think it's fascinating watching you scratch build please continue showing how you do this type of thing
Thanks Paul, I will keep showing my methods and solutions for scratch parts
Yes, please, I'd like to see how you build the interior pieces. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Richard I will do more of the interior in the next video
Show us how you do the interior, Harry! Entertaining and informative.
Will do Shayne, thanks for the feedback
Excellent can't Wait to see part b with the whole control room actually done
I am up to Part 8 now with the interior completed.
houdinimodels.com/Stingray/
More of the interior please Harry.👍
I will John, thanks for the feedback
As always loving the scratch building
Thanks Abyss I enjoy a good scratch
I would like to see more of how you do more Harry
Good man… more in the next video Duke
Nifty crafting Harry..
Thanks Bill
I would enjoy seeing yiu make each part. Love your videos. Thanks
Great Ian… I will include more in the next video
Thanks for the very entertaining and informative videos!
Super Thanks Pete… glad you liked the video

More to come in November as I complete the scratch interior
Great start Harry.
Thanks matey
great show, allmost sorry that I gave up On. plastic models, but today i only build wood modelships. I love All modelbuilding, and love watching your show.
I sort of treat plastic like wood, cutting and shaping anything to what I want. But yes wood has a nicer feel to it.
@@HarryHoudiniModels so did I back then, I Kitbashed and build a lot of wacformed kits , but My first love was wood, and you know how it is with first love
well done, Harry
propper model making ..... makes a change from just watching kits being stuck together
I am always a fiddler… rarely a stucker :)
I can't wait to see you do the seats and everything else. It's really cool.
Thanks matey
Scratch building is a very defined skill. Some guys might like that little bit of extra knowledge. I'd say given today's money troubles you should show that bit of help. Anyway awesome video as always Harry.
Harry solves the worlds problems by scratching?
Excellent stuff Harry, for me I would want to see every little piece. You could maybe try vacuform the windows if a mistake was made cutting out that centre piece of clear?
Luckily I got that centre piece out cleanly with no breakage. Vaccuform would be a good way to make flush windows
Absolutely wanna see the detail work, should be pretty awesome to watch.
Good on you mate… I will include more in the next video
Brilliantly done Harry, it’s what keeps the brain working. It will be great to see the interior as it progresses.
It is a lot of fun Sandy…
I would love to see more interior work, especially the seats, steering wheels and “tube array” (?) between the steering wheels. Super work, Harry!
Thanks Paul… I will include that in the next video
Great scratch work - thanks.
Thanks Mirror Blue
Very good working-out of proportions there Harry!
It's looking good! And yes, please do show the making of these components, and certainly the steering columns, etc! 👍
Can hardly wait to see what you have in store with this Stingray.... 😊
Okay Steve.. I will show how to measure and make the major components. Glad you are enjoying my progress.

Thanks Harry, I’m enjoying your scratch building planning. Go creativity, better than perfect engineering of some kits!
You have my vote on individual part construction. Thanks.
Glad you enjoy it Cos… more to come
Thank You for sharing the process, enjoying your efforts and learning a bit along the way …😊👍
My pleasure William
Yes please!!!
Ok then
I'd love to see each piece being made...
Thanks Guy… I can do that
I would love to see you make all the parts.
Thanks Martin.. will do
Listening to taimya money maker and heard you did the stingray... stingray, did, delada, dada.. so pretending to listen to the wife moan about something I forgot to do and watching your videos on building it... u earned a slap on the leg from the ball-n-chain but well worth it
Nothing like a good slap around to get you in the mood ;)
Yes lets see you make the interiour its great stuff!
Thanks Richard.. I can do that
Bloody good work.
Thanks matey
I'll watch you scratching all day mate!,crackin looking so far 😉👌
That may be called a fetish?
Would love to see the interior built. Always up for more knowledge.
Ok then… it seems there are lots of people who want to see me fiddle and faff about. I can do that!
Hi Harry, these are some of your best videos mate, totally interested, real modelling at its finest 😊😊😊😊😊 till next time, have a good one mate
Thanks 👍 Par Excellence Mon Amie
Great build so far Harry, really enjoying it! Stingray was one of my favourite shows as a child. Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, but it seems to me that behind that door at the back was a lift down to the lower level which I think is where the cabins were.
You may be right

Yep it is easy to get carried away with making an interior, only to find 90% of your hard work will never be seen.
Fuzzy Dice hanging from the rear view mirror, I don`t remember which episode but there was at least one shot of Fuzzy Dice
I remember that episode… Sea Bogans
@@HarryHoudiniModels 😄😃😆🤣
You were right, brother. That interior work is looking fantastic thus far. I'd like to see how you do the rest of the interior.
Thanks! Will do!

I'm looking forward to seeing how the seats and controls are done and what goes in the pit...?
Great video as usual Harry. 👍👍👍
The monster from the pit… wooooo hooooo haaaa!
2nd that
Go for it Harry , I would like to see your ideas and what you use for the seats and control column . How are you going to do Troy , Phones and Marina ?
I might do some figures, but in 1/72 they are pretty tiny
Sorry Harry but I just had to, if Troy and Marina had kids would they be called " small fry" . Love the build so far . Your logic on layout is something I will have to start doing more often. Go ahead for the seats and steering column and seats.
Small Fry and Chips yep… those are the sort of names that never get them teased in the playground LOL
If Troy and Marina had kids I'm sure the they would be a chip of the old block, mate☺️
Let’s see everything, please 🙂👍
you want it all? I want it all.. you want it now! hehe
2nd that
Notice the panel on left rear wall is on a slant. Love stingray
on my scratch or the photos from the TV show?
I would like to see how the whole interior is built.
Well I did the hole already LOL but sure I can do the rest
In most films the inside of submarines are like the TARDIS. In this case they had the problem in that the actors were marionettes with all those strings attached. That explains the vertical walls of the interior model.
Could be a good reason

They moved about the decor depending on the episode. I expect there is storage space behind that rear door.
Oh!
Please tell us (or show us) the sound that the speaker makes!
Stand by for action! In the next video LOL
I second the comment thar a vacuformed window unit might be worth exploring. You're going through a lot of effort to build an accurate interior and it would be a real shame not to see the finished work as well as possible, not to mention that the distortion of the curved areas would be minimized. Great work!
It does have merit. Not something I have done before so I would need to either find someone who can do it for me, or spend the time working it out for myself.
The heat and smash method with clear thermoforming should be relatively easy with a smooth, shallow curved piece like your window unit.
I am sure it is, if you know what you are doing… I will look into it
love your perspective on this build Harry
but your drawings look a little sketchy
Well I better chalk that up to experience then
@@HarryHoudiniModels boom boom
Show us the lot please Harry
Bask! One to go with the lot for Paul…. hehe
@@HarryHoudiniModels better that than asking for a full monte on a Gooch video or still worse a Workbench And New Kits... 😅
BTW, I think the interior shots DID use slanted window frames…
Check out the screen shots on the episode “Subterranean Sea.”
I had a look at the still shots from that episode. Window frames are still vertical to the deck but the camera angles are all slanted in that episode, which may give the illusion that the window frame pillars are angled.
