Finished Photos of Disney's Nautilus Submarine From 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2022 2:02 am
Fellow Modelers,
Below are photos of my 31” (1/69 scale) Disney Nautilus from the movie “20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea”. I bought the kit in 2001 from a company called Sci-fi Matters. It was advertised as “20K Submarine” and did not reference Disney, Nautilus or the kit’s designer Scott Brodeen. It is a resin kit with a few of the smaller parts out of white metal. The parts had great detail, but required a good deal of “elbow grease” to achieve a proper fit. A lot of minor repairs were required to fix scratches in the upper and lower hull castings. I wound up replacing over 1,000 rivets (with 5-minute epoxy) that were lost during sanding. The base color was mixed per the instructions (black/gray/rust) which created a dark chocolate color. After it was applied, various shades of rust were added with an airbrush and pastel sticks. Finally it was dry-brushed with Model Master Light Ghost Gray. I hope you enjoy the photos.
