Original Miniature Polidor Submarine Prop

Miniature Polidar attack submarine from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (Irwin Allen TV, 1964-68). Black painted, cast resin submarine with direction rudder, used for the special effects sequences shot underwater for Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. This was the "Master of Disaster" Irwin Allen's first Sci-Fi TV show and was based on the 1961 feature film of the same name in order to make use of the film's props, costumes, special effects models and sometimes even footage. Measuring 32 x 9 in., the model sub remains in good, production-used condition. Originally from the collection of visual effects specialist Greg Jein.
