Brodeen 31" Nautilus Interior / 3D printed parts

[modeleers]

I'm building a Brodeen 31" Nautilus for a friend. I decided that I wanted a partial interior -
so with the help of David McCamant - we're working our way inside with these 3D printed parts.

B31 Loge / color test:

The uber-small size of these parts makes them difficult to paint & photograph.

Sweet! That looks amazing.

Cool.

Last time I talked to Scott (about 8 or 9 years ago) I mentioned the idea of doing a closed off seating area like you have there for those that don't want to do a full salon.

Thanx! Good ideas will typically venture along the same path. David started work on his interiors back in early 2005. At the same time - I was building my Nautilus under construction diorama. It was around this time {approx. 9 years ago} that he & I began considering the open / close curtain-option - for his drawings & my static models.

great to see

sadly to late for me but great you can finally pull of other scales

any idea for diver figures printed too?

Beautiful, all you need now is a minature organ and Capt. Nemo playing it

Yes to Divers - including Crew & Civilian Figures { in several scales / including 1/6th! } / other interior furniture for WheelHaus & Salon {Organ, etc. etc.}
All of the above in various Scales = Eventually.

Here's a pic for the ambitious Nautilus RC Submariners...

of a Caswell WTC {Water Tight Compartment}. The test-fit is near ship-shape perfection.

I'm also having a few of the exterior details 3D printed.
