5:1 Light Sea Grey to Sea Grey

[biggsgolf]

So, it took days to get her trimmed, at one point I ripped most of the weights and foam out. She is now trimmed for fresh water, will change a bit in saltwater. I primed her again. Due to sizing the files down so much and the layer orientation she is splintering on the outside, I covered the inside with fiberglass, we'll see....

That is not the correct anchor for Nautilus, or any other USN ship. Yes, I'm a rivet counter, having served for 23 years and, I have the 1:1 scale Nautilus parked just a few miles from where I sit now. I don't know what the actual specs are for the hook, but a USN anchor for a WWII destroyer in the same scale should work. What you purchased is a European anchor. Model Monkey (Steve Larson) makes nice 3D printed stuff. Good luck!

You are correct!

I need to get a printer to do that boat in 1/96 as a display.

Replaced the hatch, fixed tail seam and hull seams. Anchor arrived from Australia.

Not sure if it's the camera angle but it looks like the port side shaft is more angled than the starboard side.

Its the camera angle, lol
