A working model of the Nautilus as it appeared in 
the classic 1954 Disney Movie...





 

 

Click on the "thumbs" above to see some images of my R/C Nautilus, it dives dynamically using speed and divingplanes. I purchased the hull from Ray Mason in 1998 and the sub has been configured in a couple of different ways since then. The sub has running lights and interior wheelhouse and iris details from FX Models! The brass propeller is custom made by Keith Bender at Exquisite Models and the giant squid is scratchbuilt from scrap wood and rubber hose. Brand new is the additional stern divingplanes designed to increase manouverability when submerged, another project is a framed Comet Miniatures Airfixkit as seen above.


Here are som plans and drawings of the Disney Nautilus, the AutoCad drawings showing sideviews, sections and details were made by Tor Jensen.
