"799. Ray Harryhausen submarine model miniature from It Came from Beneath the Sea. (Columbia, 1955) Vintage original model miniature or maquette constructed of carved wood, metal components and an acetate fin measuring 9.5 in. long x 1.25 in wide. Expertly painted in gunmetal, military gray and with hand painted black portals on the hull and the number “347” in pale gray paint on the turret. This model resembles the actual subs that appear in stock footage in the film. It could have been used as a model maquette or as a scale model for interaction with the miniature “Sectopus” stop-motion puppet (Harryhausen lacked the budget for the additional 2-tentacles that would have made it an Octopus!) From Ray Harryhausen’s 3rd feature. Exhibiting production wear, use, age and handling. Some worn paint, and partial missing wood from fin. In vintage good to very good condition.$4,000 - $6,000"
Entry includes one photo of the model and a film still.
