    31" (77th scale) Disney Nautilus RC model completed

    I just completed another 77th scale Nautilus buildup for a customer. This one features one of Caswell's spiffy SubDriver units with low-pressure pump and my tilting propeller mechanism. Buildup was fairly straightforward and turned out pretty snazzy!

    Video of on and underwater action as well as an in-depth look at the end result: https://youtu.be/HmhvLQhtgko

    As well as a few pics of the finished boat:
    Pelican carry case for transport to and from the pond. Here are the expensive bits in place. Hull seam was nice and tight.

      IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!

          Ditto, as usual excellent work
          If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

              That was my favorite ride at Disney as a kid. I was so upset when they removed it! So good to see it lives on here. Outstanding work!

                  If you're using a LPB/snort set up why retain the safety float valve? The water can tolerate ingesting water.
                  Make it simple, make strong, make it work!
