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 (...)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

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)
