      You would not steal a wallet so don't steal people's livelihood.
      Think of that before your buy "cheap" pirated goods or download others work protected by copyright. Theft is theft.

            It's Bob Martin's Disney-Nautilus kit in 1/32 scale.

                      I'm just gobsmacked you've been involved with model submarines for all those years, and didn't recognise a Disney nautilus, and haven't seen the film- both are absolute classics.

                      I love steampunk stuff, it's terrific,

                        You must at least see the movie, a real treat. A magnificent production: the music, the art direction, acting, everything makes it a magical experience. James Mason is stunning as Nemo. A very, very innovative and out-of-the-mainstream (for the times) movie. Practically invented modern underwater motion picture photography.

                          David,
                          Be sure to let me know what you think of the 'Fit and Finish' of the models parts. I would like to know of any areas of note (good or bad) that I need to be aware of.
                          I still have hopes of getting that kit someday, and any points of interest would be appreciated.

                          Unless you want to sell that one to me, at a 'Used 2nd-hand kit' price? :)
                          In that case, I would be glad to report on 'How Good It Is'. :)

                            I've done a dry fit to the major assemblies. All I can say is: WOW!!

                            Well engineered, well formed, warp-free. Someone has finally done this subject right! I'm working to get clearance from the producer to give you guys more details.

                            All I can tell you at this point is that Caswell Inc. will be the point of sale of the NAUTILUS SubDriver.

                            ... please, stand-by!
