Saturday at long last I get to run my Disney Nautilus. Yesterday I took a look at the boat and found it still needed work to be run. Although I trimmed the boat I forgot to finish the base, add a clear plastic rudder extension and affix the top of the hull firmly to the lower hull. The rudder extention is removable for display.
The way it was you drove the ram into a series of brass tubes inside the boat that were constant trouble. So from the button near the nose I drilled a tiny hole and put a brass screw through. Now there will never be a chance of losing the top of the hull while running it. This happened to me once with another boat and 2 years later someone at the local pond found it. Never again. So it’s all ready to go.
The Kit is a 1/77 scale 30 inch model once sold by Nautilus Dry Docks now out of production.
I also worked on the Amulet. Tiny little thing. The clear epoxy worked well. not a single bubble in the casting. I just have to add the little clear bubbles using a pin and drops of medium CA.
Today is finishing Laser Blast and painting a mask.
