The Nautilus

I'll be the first to admit this project is going to be a bit of stretch for me. There are a number of techniques I'll need to master, and new skills I'll need to acquire if I'm going to complete this one. It is definitely a bit outside my comfort zone, but I figured I was up for a challenge this summer. This will be my first project using photo-etched parts, as well as the first one to require more complex and detailed airbrush work.

Good news Johnny! I'm tuned in.
P.S. I have built the model the last year also and took a lot of fun! Don't hesitate to ask, maybe I can help. Bernhard

JohnnyO 著者
Thanks Bernhard, I appreciate the offer for assistance. I'm sure I'll be sending you some messages as I go through it. I took a look at your build, it looks really good, especially the base!

Torsten
Yeah, that's 😎, I follow you 🙂

I've been swamped with lots of other projects, but I'm still plugging away on this whenever possible. Interior is progressing, albeit slowly. Next step I need to paint all the individual books, and then wash the side pieces to match the floor

Count me ion. Looks promising.

Repainted the couch from blue to red, since my wife insisted Nemo is the kind of guy who owns a red leather couch. I think it was the right call.

Frank Krause
Hehe, always listen to your wife!😉 Nice subject. I'm in, too.

Interior completed, now on to the main body

JohnnyO 著者
I'm back. Been away from my workbench for the past several weeks, but I finally got back to it. Window masking is in progress.

JohnnyO 著者
Main body assembly largely complete, next task is to add the photoetch detailing

Acki
Very good!

Frank Krause
That's worth some 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍.
I like, what I see. Hopefully some of the interior can be seen through the windows...

Christian Meyerhoff
Very nice start! This kit is on my wishlist too.

She's just about done. Perhaps some weathering rust still to be added, haven't decided yet.

Frank Krause
👍 Love it! Great!
