Your work never fails to amaze me my friend. Great paint job. Looks just like the movie prop.

Fantastic build.

Thanks so much guys.

Here's the video for this week. You will just have to suffer through the non submarine stuff to see it. Dave you have a mention!

More progress. We have been putting on lots of rivets and small parts missing from this kit. Tomorrow we should have it to a point where I can paint the lower hull. That leaves the lights and windows and the PE for the drains. Another week and she's done andn ready for pool testing.

The Nautilus is nearly finished. Next week testing in the pool begins. Tomorrow the lights go in. There will be closed iris's. Paint is done and we added a few more of the missing parts and the speed screw all not supplied in this kit.

Closer still. Monday is the day I will finish. See ya then.

Darned spanky looking boat! Great job! Can't wait to see her in the water!

[steveneill]

Thanks Bob! Well except for the deck vent grills which are inbound she's done. Paint wise and detail wise. Next person to test the OTW cylinder and ballast the boat.

[steveneill]

Got the PE Grill. They fit! Will install them on Monday and the boat is done.

She's finished except for blasting. Battery box is to keep the 10 cell 5000 mah Nimh in place. I made my own vacuum formed container for it much like that of the old Dumas Akula.
