Title: Nautilus Model
Post by: Doomsdave on May 25, 2013, 09:18:03 AM: I didn't see this posted and it didn't come up when I used the search function, but I had to share:

Looks like Pegasus Models has a new Nautilus kit! Scale is smallish but looks like it will be about 16 inches long when built. Maybe perfect for a waterline model?

66$ is not cheap....

It's not expensive at all. Vinal parts included in an injection moulded kit, I think that's rather reasonable.

Looks rather good although the bloke reviewing it was a bit naff, "It's about this long", well, obviously...

I like the design a lot and may see about picking one up :)

cheers

I even like the squid...

Post by: The_Beast on May 27, 2013, 02:21:45 PM: Oh HELL yes!

Even the base has possibilities as terrain! (By the way, if he said that, can't hear the audio while at work; the first fifty seconds I was all 'quit teasing me, and open the damn box!')

I do find the price daunting, but hardly unfair.I must gird my loins! (After the 'If anybody should know' comment, that was probably unwise.)

My main difficulty is wanting both a waterline and full-bodied, running submerged, and this kit looks to be a challenge there. Hardly the first such...

(Whoops, no parenthesis there; so much for being a parenthetic fool...)

Glad I didn't hear about this before; waiting years would have been too sore a torture!
