Title: The Nautilus scratchbuild
Post by: Colonel O Truth on May 30, 2021, 12:28:48 AM
Hi All!

Been away for a while but I thought I'd just drop in and leave this here...

Just completed a commission for The Nautilus. Hope you like!

That looks super, but Nautilus is a capital ship with a large crew; this may have to be an auxilliary vessel.

I wasn't sure I would have used the term 'capital', but definitely larger whether, book or movies.

A) This one is SO pretty, I wasn't going to quibble, and B) it HAS been so long since seeing Colonel's work, I a'feared scaring him off! ;)

Lovely work, O Truth, as always.

Excellent bit of scratch building Colonel! Looks wonderfully VSF. Spiffing stuff!
It’s amazingly what plastic wine glasses become, Submarines, Rocket Ships, Martian Tripods...

Oh, if I could model like that, I'd be knocking on the door at Dreamworks.

Love it.  :o

The propulsion unit is very “Stingray”. Not a bad thing I hasten to add.
