Ahoy!
Here is my build up of the Moebius 1:32 Proteus from Fantastic Voyage...
What I did.
Added Photo etch throughout.
Opened the rear windows.
Made working upper hatch.
Made my own Lighting.
Added aftermarket figures.
Scratch built the mini lamps seen in the cabin.
Made the mini "maps" seen behind the first two crew members.
Added the little circles on the upper hull bowler the full size set.
Extended the seat head rests.
drilled out the rear exhausts.
Totally airbrushed hull and interior.
Mad a lighted Miniaturizer Base.

Thanks!

Excellent work. I salute your craftsmanship!

One tiny nitpick: The decals for the uppermost non-skid step areas are at an incorrect angle. (Yes, the kit decal guide is wrong.)

On the full-size mockup, they were parallel to the upper hull sides. On the 5-foot "hero" miniature, they were aligned with the ship's fore-and-aft and transverse axes.
