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 (...)

(...) 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.

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)

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 (...)

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)
