The Further Adventures Of Captain Nemo?

Perhaps this could provide a few new ideas that may be adapted to use with Victorian submersibles:

Murray Leinster, Creatures of the Abyss





Audiobook:

I think Nemo would say something like this about “his seas”:



To me the entire story feels like it would have fit much better if it had taken place in a Victorian setting.  It’s got maritime War of the Worlds potential.

Thoughts?

PS.  Or Nemo could create a spaceworthy “Nautilus” and end up following the big surge to colonize Mars.  He could work as a “free trader”, or do the same plundering work he did with the Nautilus had done on Earth, or he could build an entire fleet of airships and fight for the Martians.  :)

Okay those are great ideas! One could use if they are in to the 15MM Range, Rebel Minis two sets of Nemo's crews, those in uniform and those in diving gear, one could build a whole model were the top comes off to have access to the main deck, it could have an extra level like the Zeppelin projects I have seen here. One could have smaller launch subs as well!
Just remember "If the Enemy is in range, so are YOU!

As a water vessel I would do a waterline  outer deck, for when on the surface, then for in the sub, I would have to build it like the interior  spaceships that "CookAndrewB" is doing over on the "Future Wars" threads.
