I made this setup a few months ago. It is my version of the Nautilus. The rooms are placed like they are described in the book of Jules Verne. I made it with Dwarven Forge tiles.

That is one of the most brilliant set ups I´ve seen! A living monument of wargaming actually!
-
Superb stuff. I can imagine thats just what the Nautilus looked like. Well done. ;D

Great stuff 8) 8)

WOW! :o
That is truly awesome!
Well done! :-*

I knew I'd seen this before, but really did think you'd posted it here before. However, only finding your post on TMP.
Of course, at that time, I printed out the images and posted at the store. Stunningly good work!

I'd never call the Dwarven Forge sets 'lemons', and yet, definitely doing with what you have, and making the finest lemonade! ;)

Just Stunning! A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

This is absolutely fabulous.

Pure brilliance!

Fantastic! :-*

That's a fine looking board! I'd love a shot on that! 8)

Beautiful - bits from everywhere.
Nice colours and textures.

Well, the idea was that the party have to escape from the Nautilus. They have been captured and put in jail. But the underwater ocean is quite a hostile environment :D And it is hard to escape from a submarine down under the sea when you don't know where you are cruising...
They went out with the scuba suits but they have to fight a giant crab and comme back to the submarine due to a low level of oxygen... They cannot sabotage the ship or it will sink with the party... I also introduced a naval combat with another ship, and a fight with a giant calamar. The only solution was to integrate Nemo's team, after a few exploration of the ship, find some navigation maps to locate the nearests islands and try to drive the submarine to another shore...

Yes I posted it on TMP but here, I'm quite new ;)
-
Brilliant!
Love all the little details.
:-* :-*
Gaming on it must be a treat.
:D

Well, here I'm 'quite old,' but you've obviously made the BIG splash. lol
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 :D
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 :-*
-
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 :)
-
Absolutely outstanding work! :o :o :o

You are right, the grammophone is a very nice piece, very well done. It is a piece from Thomarillion
-
Superb! I'm so jealous! :-*
Absolutely amazing! :o

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. :D
Doug

This is gorgeous
-
Thread of its own... please do start one. Lamps and sheets and all things watery sounds fantastic. Still looking for underwater fantasy rules and nothing much seems to have caught up rules wise to match the imagination.

Hello Doug,
The furnitures are mainly from Psom Miniatures, Thomarillion, Grendel and Fenryl. So nothing in real wood, only resin ;)
The stairs are from Dwarven Forge.
And for the carpets, they are real carpets, not paper. I found these in doll house sellers. I think you can find those easily on ebay

No problem, plenty of such shops in town.
Let's say you're an awesome interior decorator then. :D
REALLY well set and looking awesome.

What is the source for the hanging diving suits? If this has been previously asked and answered I apologize... I missed it in my read through of the Q & A. Wonderful presentation. Richard
-
I'd suggested they looked a LOT like Ainsty Spacesuits.

Edit: But they won't do you much good if you ONLY War in 15mm! lol
-
Beast, thank you. Truth is, I don't War in any scale. Richard
-
Wow, the Nautilus is so cool.
A one of a kind gaming piece.
So well done. :-*
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful,
may I say, "work of art."
-
That is so incredibly beautiful. Made with so much diligence and skill. I highly admire this masterpiece!
