The Nautilus

[Rodenbach]

I knew I'd seen this before, but really did think you'd posted it here before. However, only finding your post on TMP.

Yes I posted it on TMP but here, I'm quite new 

[Mason]

Brilliant!
Love all the little details.
 

Gaming on it must be a treat.

Well, here I'm 'quite old,' but you've obviously made the BIG splash. 

Are you using both older and newer of the Sci Fi sets? The designs switched, one with walls on the squares, the other outside the squares, and that never looked right to me. If, at it appears to be the case, that you combine both, I'll assume I'm just suffering the bugaboo of a small mind. 

I've some of the Ainsty spacesuits-on-a-rack, but would never have thought of using them as VSF diving gear. You KNOW part of the delight is inspecting each 'bit' and working out the source. Then remarking 'sheer brilliance'.

Absolutely wonderful! Richard

Thank you very much

For the Dwarven Forge tiles, in fact they are all the same. But sometime you see the back of a piece (with a ground tile) and sometime, the front of the piece. This can explain this impression of having 2 diffrente designs.

Just 

That's all.

Fantastic!
and a clever use of various bits

May I remind you the Nemo divers from Reviresco. They might be handy ...

Very nice indeed 

[SpaceGoblin]

Brilliant! Must be a joy to use-I can imagine it really brings the game to life

Where did you get the furniture from-particularly the grammar phone? I wouldn't mind one of those for to use in Venusian army in some capacity (either as a prop on a model or as an objective marker in game 'We will lay down our lives to recover Major Valiant's record collection!') Anyway-great work

[Sardoo]

Absolutely outstanding work!

You are right, the grammophone is a very nice piece, very well done. It is a piece from Thomarillion

[MaleGriffin]

Superb! I'm so jealous! 

Absolutely amazing!

That is uber cool and love seeing the clear Perspex sheet I had a similar idea so you can have a ship on the surface and then possibilities for under the sea. Great build.

Ah, that's a tangent worth a thread of it's own.

One idea never started was having gaming tables as islands, the floor as the floor of the shallow sea, ships-on-stands with water surrounds as on the surface, and Canvas Eagle-style collapsing rods for the subs and beasts 'flying' under the surface.

Another idea, started but not completed, was textured sheets for ceiling lamps, with the lower hull of a ship glued underneath, suspended above the table as an anchored target for Nemo's men in waters too shallow for the Nautilus to safely attack. However, the rocks in the deep beneath the hull weren't 'unoccupied...' Mentioned before, still finding energy to re-attempt.

No, this is a big, beautiful beast that's a table unto itself!

I'd find this heavy and unwieldy trying to 'move', so, like huge airship games I've considered, the action will 'come to it.'

By the by, Rodenbach, I'm going to need more 'spoilers' on the furnishings. The cabinets appear to be real wood; scratch-builds? The stairs? Are the carpets printed paper? The equipment that I can visualize in catalogs, but not company names? Thanks!

Anybody else that recognizes pieces, by all means jump in and shame me.
