In Florida, Disney’s LIVING SEAS EXHIBIT features some LEAGUES
memorabilia.

helmet, straight on.
Alongside Tom’s Diver replica is the actual 11-foot SFX
model used in the film. This is a
recent image provided by Model Meister Will Babington who, along with
Rich Allsmiller, produced the forthcoming 50th anniversary NAUTILUS
replica. Comparing this picture to that
model, the similarity is remarkable.
The famous eleven-footer on display at the Living Seas
Exhibit. Again, this is a recent image
from Will, who took pity on the cruddy pics I had here, and provided
these. Really, a dramatic shot of the
sub, isn’t it?
Here’s another pic from Will Babington; this time a wide
angle look at the whole exhibit; but I guess you already figured that out,
right? Tom’s DIVER is on the left, one whoppin’
big poster in the middle; then the 11-footer, and finally some graphics related
to the movie. One of these days, I
gotta go there. Thanks, Will.
