Beautifully done series! I like the final results, coupled with your progressive advice on the processes of building. I just bought this model and am looking forward to building it. I also just bought the 31" Nautilus model kit with prop functionality, and lighting kit. Looking forward to building both. Thanks for the help.
Doc, Thasts the most beautiful piece I've ever seen you build, truly a work of art. Before now I didn't think I wanted to try this kit, however you have truly inspired me as you have many times in the past. Man, you are WAY too hard on yourself...really great work! Wakeman < I meant to place this comment here ..after the build>
I like the way it turned out I just bought the same kit waiting on a SMD lights to get here and now going to try to order some of that rust paint thanks for a great videos
Nice Job. Just a thought... blacken the brass tube and take some simple sand and glue it on the the top of the base and add a rock or two may help dress up the base a bit. It is simple and quick. I still think that you can tone down the gloss with an AB of dull coat without fully masking off the clear parts.
I really enjoyed watching these videos. Excellent work on the kit! I really must get one of these and try my hand at building it. I've never worked with LEDs before, but this kit really does need the lighting to get the most out of it, so I will have to learn a new skill (and that's always a good thing.)
Well done. Trials and errors, coping and managing stuff are very interesting to watch and learn from. The model turned out great even if it’s not what you wanted. Also the windows look a bit foggy, maybe some polishing at the very beginning was necessary?
First I want to say, that your channel is really great... learned a lot here! Second: This vid got me thinking to use the iron paint/vinegar mix as a undercoat and then use hairspray or masking fluid before painting over to get a real dirty look on my 40k tanks. Do you think there are difficulties doing this?
Looks fantastic. I think it looks just right. Well done. I saw the rc sub vid, think yours looks better. You have an iron look as opposed to bronze\copper.
I think it looks great. BTW RC SubGuy's name is Bob Martin. An incredibly nice guy. He sells a few different version of the Harper Goff 20K Nautilus. I have purchased one from him. I love it. He gets them from the creator of the 66" and 31" Nautilus. A great product if you want a hyper accurate version of the Harper Goff version.
What I will be experimenting with when added the iron paint is to infiltrate it with some dark emerald green and it's opposite, a very dark gun metal blue, weakly stirred into the paint and vinegar. I'll be testing this on other materials first. The surface is everything for this kit, and I want to push it as far as it will go.
Great video. I am going to do the same model. Do you know if Metal Effects Iron Paint is the same as Metal Effects Oxidizing Iron Paint? Thanks in advance, Moe
I think it looks great, the rust effect is just right. The only thing is that the base is too plain. What about using the nautilus nameplate from the kit?
It looks GREAT! I have to admit I didn't like the first rust look, it looked like an old sunken ship that got rusty. But after the 3rd coat it looked just like a steampunk vehicule that is always in the water (so with some rust on it) but that is still working. Just like the one in the Disney movie. Perfect! Congratulation, excellent job! More like this please! ;)
Epic turnout! My brother and I really loved the finished product. It is a shame that the styrene windows are as thick as they are because you did some really great work in that library! Thanks for sharing
Nice gob I'm working on the same kit right now actually I started about a year ago and put it up so I could get lights and other stuff to complete it one small problem I would like to use the base that came with the kit would like to know your opinion on whether or not you think I can run my wiring through the squids tentacle ???
Bought some of the Modern Masters paints today just because I loved the effect they achieved with you. So far, yes they stink...god does it stink. But cant wait to see what comes of it!... Cant wait to see what you do next! Doc
If you want more of a textured rust you could go back and add some dry pigment to create different colors of rust and textures. Also maybe semi gloss instead of high gloss.
My only quibble is: how does the helmsman see where he's steering the ship? Not much can be glimpsed from those eye-like side windows. I think the Disney Nautilus was better equipped in this regard.
I have just bought this model and found out they do a light kit for it but because I live in the UK I can't get it because they don't ship outside the U.S same goes for the iron effects paint and extra photoetch
I like the randomness of the blotchy gloss coat....way more realistic! You should embrace this. What happened to the base and squid? I must have missed that part......🤔
First off, she's a BEAUTY and you've got no reason to be unhappy with your work. The rust effect works. One thing though, going back to the 2nd or 3rd vid where you cut out the ceiling panels and installed the photo-etched grid panels and decided you couldn't put the lights above them because it was too bright and you'd have gotten stark lighting effects. You could have possibly used bits of photographic lighting diffusion paper place between the photo-etched parts and the LEDs to diffuse the light. That may have solved your problem. If not one thin sheet, then 2 or three would probably have done the job. Just my two cents. Also... I've never liked that design of the Nautilus. You made your vid 7 years ago, but I know I saw that kit LONG before that and I think it was originally from REVELL (Don't quote me). What always turned me off about it was what you call the "harpoon". Verne called the device a "long spur". The problem was, in no translation I've ever read did he ever say what a "spur" was, let alone a long one. He NEVER described the Nautilus as having a horizontal mast nor boom made of any material sticking out obscenely far with a pointed cap on the end. This design is rather reserved compared to one I saw scratch-built in a magazine many years ago where the mast was easily half the length of the entire craft. I doubt anyone will ever get the Nautilus to agree with Verne's description. In the book the Nautilus would ram the target vessel, the triangular shaped spur would punch a hole in the hull, then the Nautilus would back away, pulling the spur out, and the target vessel would sink from flooding. In the movie the Nautilus was designed to rip-saw through the target at full-speed and shred the hull beyond saving. It worked for Disney, and it will probably work for all other adaptations to come. All that said, now that I've seen your build... I might give this one a try at some point in the future.... maybe with lights. Good job. I came for miniature painting because of Heroforge, and got a nice surprise. Thanks.
ThePaintingClinic Awe thats too bad. In the movie there was a slip at the stern where the skiff was. Capt Nemo was shot while getting out of the skiff.
Absolutely love that paint finish. Just started my Nautilus build - seems to be a nice kit to work on so far.

Incredibly beautiful.... your paint is OUTSTANDING... one of the best replicas I’ve ever seen.... museum quality
That Nautilus looks more feasable than the Disney one, however the Disney one is an all time Classic.
We're those windows torture to install? Or easy?.

I was on the fence about getting this kit but now I have to get it. Stunning work.
I like the way it turned out I just bought the same kit waiting on a SMD lights to get here and now going to try to order some of that rust paint thanks for a great videos
Thought of that, but didn't want to spend weeks making a diorama base. I may switch it out if I find something more fitting.
Beautiful work, it really looks good.
That's so good. I love it. The green steampunky lights are the best things ever.

Been trying to see this video for a while now but cant since every video that has a commercial before it bugs out....wonderful.
What an awesome paint job! Very cool!
Absolutely beautiful
I think the gloss coat suits the model, It give it the the just emerged from the depths and starting to dry look. Great build.

Great paint job. The random rusty weathering came out great. How about a faux coral base?

Looks beautiful. Like the rust but I agree that it's difficult to control.
Well in my opinion the paint effect looks amazing. I think it's perfect the way it is. Nice job
Amazing work !!! Congrats, very very impressive!
You Sir are a true Pro! Great work!!!!
Use dull coat paint.
" Ramming Speeed!!!"
Yeah, it's a little big, but I had it lying around for a while and I like a Big Red Button.
Fantastic doctor!
Great video. I am going to do the same model. Do you know if Metal Effects Iron Paint is the same as Metal Effects Oxidizing Iron Paint? Thanks in advance, Moe
I think it looks great, the rust effect is just right. The only thing is that the base is too plain. What about using the nautilus nameplate from the kit?
Excellent work. Thanks for sharing this with us.
" Don't cut yourself on the Nautilus, you'll get blood poisoning.!!."
Captain Nemo.
Excellent model.

Just plain awesome. Well done, as usual!
That looks really nice. I like the random blotchiness of the paint
Very cool, you should be proud of this!
Remember when weathering, don't over do it. It has to look real.i build models too.
Your music somewhat reminds me of late late movie music.
In the Disney movie, the Nautilus was rusty and in one scene you could see a star fish stuck in place. Nice touch.
" Welcome to the Nautilus, I am Captain Nemo, be careful not to cut your self on the rusty sides of the ship".
Epic turnout! My brother and I really loved the finished product. It is a shame that the styrene windows are as thick as they are because you did some really great work in that library! Thanks for sharing

So far, yes they stink...god does it stink.
But cant wait to see what comes of it!...
Cant wait to see what you do next!
Doc
Did that model have a place for the dingy? I didn't notice it anywhere.
Looks great
Looks like it came out looking very awesome! Now I want to build one :D
Doc it looks different from the movie and it is cool
I like it. Thanks for sharing your build and time!
Oh and you should get a Nautilus name plate in metal or something on the base to fill it up. Don't the kit comes with somekind of name plate actually?
looks fantastic!
very nice ! weathering powders would have been a good option ... but great job
Great project to follow
looks fantastic!!!!!!!
If you want more of a textured rust you could go back and add some dry pigment to create different colors of rust and textures. Also maybe semi gloss instead of high gloss.
I think it came out quite nice.
Nice work.
My only quibble is: how does the helmsman see where he's steering the ship? Not much can be glimpsed from those eye-like side windows. I think the Disney Nautilus was better equipped in this regard.
Yeah I really liked first coat
I have just bought this model and found out they do a light kit for it but because I live in the UK I can't get it because they don't ship outside the U.S same goes for the iron effects paint and extra photoetch
Just watched RCSUB GUYS Nautilus build and I must say I like yours better. The patina you wound up with looked more realistic.
That paint is amazing... what's it called again ... magic God paint or something like that :-):-)
HOW DID YOU GET ALL THE PAINT OFF THE WINDOWS, I WAS WAITING FOR IT THEN YOU SKIPPED OVER. IM NEW.
The windows were masked, and the masking is in the kit.
great build
I like the randomness of the blotchy gloss coat....way more realistic! You should embrace this. What happened to the base and squid? I must have missed that part......🤔
Realistically the interior lights probably would be dim, or else you'd have a tough time seeing out the windows.
Amazing!
looks awesome :D
third coat made it perfect. you can't get to rusty or worn with steam punk.
The model looks awesome! but I think the base really lets it down

Why did you exclude the squid thats the best part of this diorama.
right about that big spot light on the front ! next time mig rust gets a thumbs up
I think it's perfect.
I think I try to make the ship have some weight to it, so if a guest picks it up...
it's perfect.
Jules Verne described the Nautilus as having a blackish color - so I think this is fine.
Sorry not dingy but skiff right?
I don't recall anything like that in the kit.
ThePaintingClinic
Awe thats too bad. In the movie there was a slip at the stern where the skiff was. Capt Nemo was shot while getting out of the skiff.
Robert Dambeck
The model is based off the description from the book, not any of the movies.
ThePaintingClinic Oh ok sorry
That's a big bottle of modeling paint
Whatever you do "DON''T TOUCH THAT RED BUTTON!!" lol
You should put it in a fish tank. :P
Just a comment for the algorithm.
