    federation models nautilus

    While shopping for a nautilus I found this one. I'm curious, has anyone out there ordered a 31" Nautilus from this outfit?
    If so what is your opinion of the service, model quality, etc.

    Hi,

    The pictures show an Icons

    Hi,

    The pictures show an Icons Nautilus, as modelled by Scott Brodeen.

    I don't know if it's a knock off, or if it is being cast with his permission.

    I have a casting of an Icons Nautilus, that was very well rendered. It wasn't from the outfit you describe, so I can't speak for them, however the Icons Nautilus is a lovely rendition when suitably cast and builds into a super model.

    One note, there are no hull plating lines on this model- just rivets. At this scale the omission is barely noticable , however.

      Heelo Lance!

      I have dealt with

      Heelo Lance!

      I have dealt with Federation Models many times before. They are a dealer and not a manufacturer of models. And I am positive that they wouldn't offer recasts - at least knowingly. They probably have that kit in their files as being available from one of their suppliers and may not have updated in a while.
      Email them about any questions that you have. They are very friendly to enquiries.

        I would like to help

        [color=#000000]I would like to help you out here, but I am not sure if this any help
        This looks like the kit that Sci-Fi-Matters used to sell in that price
        range. I have built this model, and the quality is very good, and very easy to assemble. I made some modifications to this kit, for
        my own reasons. Contact Jim Key at Custom Replicas, he knows
        more about this model than I do. Workman ]

          I have that same model

          I have that same model from SciFi matters when they use to sell it 3 years ago. The completed model sits on my fireplace mantle. Its a very nice model and I highly recommend it.
