USEC HYPERION - DEEPQUEST

The HYPERION was designed for a SUPER 8 film called ‘DEEPQUEST’ which my friend DAVID HICKS and I made in the 1980s.

Set in the near future the HYPERION is a prototype submarine operated by the United Sciences and Exploration Command). The ship was facetted mainly to facilitate the model building. It was 6 feet - not coincidentally, balsa wood came in 3 feet sheets!

This painting has a little artistic license and is not 100% true to the original, but is intended to show if off in the best light.
