Looks great! How long is the finished model?

When I was ten or eleven years old I saw 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea for the first time.
I was entranced by the Nautilus, Captain Nemo, Professor Aronnax, Conceil and Ned Land.
And of course, we cannot forget the giant squid and the pacific islanders who discovered the hull of the Nautilus was electrified. It remains one of my favorite films.

Nice work with the Nautilus.

about 18" from the tip of the spear (if that's what it's called) at the bow to the rudder.

Thanks! I have a paper model of a squid that goes with another Nautilus model. I don't think that kit is as nice as this, and the squid is a bright red instead of the darker color it turned out to be in the movie. I think squid are normally a bright red though. But I think I would need to scale the paper model squid to this kit size. I'll give it a shot.

You've managed a very good build there... Great stuff.

Thank you! It all really began as an experiment with some new paper that I bought. I had been having a ton of troubles with some 110 lb index card stock. Not that 110 lb. was bad and all, but it just wasn't working out for me. The 110 lb. was delaminating or exfoliating when I would do hard creased folds and would buckle really bad with round bends, which was probably normal for that weight. I decided to go down to try a different manufacturer and weight and am VERY pleased. I used 65 lb. cover stock for this model. The ink did not bleed and the paper didn't delaminate as with the other. So, I was very happy.

Michael, I just found this - you'd be very interested if you hadn't seen it yet: 20,000 Leagues the making of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuaH...X8hwshASQBlEcq

Yes, I have seen it. Great video. It goes into some of the interesting behind the scenes detail about the production of the movie.
