        Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Ken Koleda
     Very, very nice. This just begs to be made into a diorama half submerged attacking a sailing vessel or steamer! But then, maybe hat is on brickshelf.... (...) (22 years ago, 2-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)
    
         Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) well.... 0018 and 0021 weren't. You could explore further if you wanted to! As for: (...) Yes, indeed, "hat" is on Brickshelf, 0020 clearly shows Nemo wearing a "hat". Dig those divers too(1)... Hope that helps. Er, that is.. hope "hat" helps. (...) (22 years ago, 2-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)
     
          Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Joe Meno
      (...) Try: 0024, 0025, 0028, 0030, 0031, 0033 and 0034. There's more, but I'll leave those for the moderation:) (...) Thanks..they weren't easy to find:) (...) (22 years ago, 2-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)
    
         Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Joe Meno
     (...) Not yet...I have a pretty simple base right now, but got some ship hull halves this past weekend, so a full fledged diorama is definitely being thought of!! Another thought I had much earlier was to do a attack diorama, as this model's bottom (...) (22 years ago, 2-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)
   
        Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Bruce Hietbrink
     Hi Joe, It looks awesome! Can't wait till the folder is moderateed to see the details. The TIE window works great, btw, and the parts near the nose with the arches with slope bricks (if that makes sense). Bruce (22 years ago, 2-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)
    
         Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Joe Meno
     (...) Thanks! I had to do some serious thinking to get the 'teeth' on the spine done. The vertical fin is held to the hull with 2 hinge plates to allow the angle I wanted, and the horizontal 'teeth' use hinges to match the shape of the ship. As for (...)

        Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Jonathan Mizner
      Hey! You finally got everything completed! Very nice....your use of slopes is incredible. The angles are done so accurately on the cutting edges... Where are the interior shots? :) (...) (22 years ago, 2-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone)
    
         Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Joe Meno
     (...) Thanks! Slopes are good:) I may have been responsible for depleting at least 2 bricklink shops of slopes of one type or another:) If you REALLY want to know, I have the pipe organ room completed (and it fits the bay window section), but no pix (...)

        Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —James Harkness
     PERFECT! Your other creations are incredible too. Im a fan. What material did you use for chernabog's wings they are awesome? (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)
    
         Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Joe Meno
     (...) Thanks! (...) Thanks for the compliments! I try very hard to keep to a pure Lego material, but on Chernabog, I had to use a different approach:) Chernabog's wings are made of 4mm plastic sheeting, available at probably a building supply store, (...)

        Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Richie Dulin
     (...) I think it's great! You've captured the shape very well. Brown was certainly a very brave colour choice, but it's really paid dividends for you. Cheers Richie Dulin (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)
    
         Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Joe Meno
     (...) Thanks! (...) I picked brown mainly because it would be easier to photograph and also because it was the closest to rust that I could think of at the time. I wasn't too interested in a gray version, even though the movie version is a (...) (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)
   
        Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —George Haberberger
     (...) Joe, Wow, amazing! When I first saw those Aquazone helmets, I thought Nautilus, I see I'm not the only one. Are you going to do the inside, so we can see Nemo's organ? Thanks, George (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone)
    
         Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Joe Meno
     (...) Thanks! I was planning to use the helmets for a while, and really happy when I found both the helmets and visor in black! (...) In progress... (URL) does fit in the ship at this time, but I have to figure the wall behind the organ. I got an (...) (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone)
   
        Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Stefan Garcia
     Wow. That is a LOT of brown. The bow is awesome, very textured and sculpted. Love the use of the TIE canopy. -Stefan- (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)
    
         Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Joe Meno
     (...) Yep it IS a lot of brown:) It wasreally fun trying to figure what parts were available in the color. Thanks for the compliments, too. I really worked on the bow to make it 'feel right. It took a little time and some tries to get the curves (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)
   
        Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Nathan Todd
     (...) WOW! The auqazone in me says keep building it's great. The castle in me says look at the brown slopes... Is this the beginning of a 20 000 leagues or Mysterious Island project? God Bless, Nathan (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone)
    
         Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Joe Meno
     (...) Thanks! Actually. the post from Ken Koleda has a really good idea for a shipwreck diorama, and I just got some ship halves! So that looks like the first expansion...and Mysterious Island is a possibility. Joe Meno (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone)
   
        Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Paul Hanson
   Hey Joe - I like this a lot! You've captured a very distinctive shape in all of her Victorian glory. The brown look great (and was - as someone else said - a brave choice) I once contemplated building a Nautilus myself, but more true to the (...)

        Re: I'm Captain Nemo...(teaser) —Joe Meno
   (...) My version is about 3 feet long. And it's taken over my work table. As to scale, it's about minifig sacle..I say about because the interior is a little too small for the minifigs. (...) I took a look at that really cool site. Neat info. I have (...) (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)
