3D Printed Classic Disney Nautilus Submarine 42 Inch Scale Model Finished

#Disney Nautilus #3D Printing # Hobby #How to #TrekWorks
This video update show's the last steps of completing the Nautilus submarine build. I take you through the process of the multi layered painting work by spraying and by hand to achieve the rusted patina colors of the hull. Then a final reveal of the completed ship towards the end.

[@flaredphoenix1591]

Wow, you did this project really very nicely, I'm the designer of this 3D model and I'm really excited to see a video of someone assembling all the parts I've designed. I would also like to thank you for your compliments. You did an amazing job with all the lighting, the glass panels and the incredible painting. Thank you for your great videos.

[@TrekWorks]

I'm glad you like the work, awesome job on creating this model. It's by far the most accurate I've seen.

[@flaredphoenix1591]

@@TrekWorks ohh thank you very much, I'm glad that you see it that way, I wanted to create something special for fans at a fair price and therefore I put a lot of time into the geometry, details and functionality, I find this project really difficult to print with Filament das but is really very well done, and especially the painting is very professional.

@@flaredphoenix1591 Printing in ASA worked great for me and it's thermal stable so no issues on a summer day at the lake.

[@vicster-if4mg]

Does your build include the wheelhouse interior?

[@flaredphoenix1591]

@@vicster-if4mg Yes, the wheelhouse Interieur and the salon are including.

That was my favorite movie when I was a kid. Always wanted a model like this. Awesome job!

[@Lumibear.]

My word Boyd that’s not so much a paint job as telling the story of its past operational functions, it genuinely looks used, and you made it seem so easy, wonderful.

[@TrekWorks]

Thanks, it's always fun and a lot easier going dirty than it is making a perfect clean subject.

[@InterstellarModeler]

wow that is just fantastic Boyd....very impressive, just outstanding.

[@TrekWorks]

Thank you Oggie, glad you like it. This was a fun project and I learned a lot about printing. It has really opened up a whole new world.

[@Fritzie73]

I'm watching the master at work again on my favorite build, he did such an amazing job with the 3D printing, the interior detailing, and that fantastic painting of the entire model! I will miss him I'm so sorry for his love ones lose what a fantastic guy!!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

What a beautiful design and build!!

[@TrekWorks]

Thanks, such a cool subject to work on.

[@jackparker3336]

Beautiful Boyd! You're the Bob Ross of scale modelers!

[@MrChief101]

Rivets... rivets... RIVETS!!! Argh... But beautiful. Looks like the Nautilus from the movie, in some shots. I was lucky enough to see the 11-footer back in 1966-- for some reason, I was at Disneyland. My child brain saw a lot of green-- but it was dark. The boat was hanging from the flies of a stage, there was some kind of dancing going on, but my eyes were on the Nautilus. It was not all that well lit because it was not the central subject of whatever was going on. In retrospect, the look was a British bronze garden fountain with all the verde gris. But darker. (I was 11 so a lot of retrospect... ) Fun job, big job! And a remarkable build.

[@outsider238]

Wow! This turned out so good! It really looks like it's made of metal. Your weathering treatment really brought it to life. I'm still shocked at how big it is! One of your best models Boyd and that's hard to compare since all of your work is top notch. Excellent job as always!!

[@TrekWorks]

Thanks, this was a really fun project.

[@richardcorwin1828]

Once again Boyd you have outdone yourself. Most definitely museum quality and thank you for the ride!

Looks amazing Boyd. Captain Nemo would be proud. Also, glad you mentioned Chris. He will be missed. Enjoy your day. Ray Levesque

[@viswanathanpather6849]

That is just a thing of beauty. I'm definitely not sorry I bought the files. Almost tempted to stop everything else and do this. Wow what skill you have Boyd.

[@TrekWorks]

Thanks, glad to hear your going to build this too. It's an excellent design.

[@BGsModelWorkshop]

Thank you for the amazing video Boyd! It was really cool to watch the paint evolve during all the layering!

[@TrekWorks]

Thanks for the comment Brian, I appreciate it. Keep up the good work :)

[@paulvanthomme3209]

Close to finishing the same model, mine is a actual working RC submarine, so lots of technical issues to be solved along the way, loved your tutorial and will use this going forward on my build.

[@CaptainBobRockets]

Beautiful work and I love the model you've built! I bought a model of the Nautilus on Main Street at Disneyland about 40 years ago and love it! One thing I wanted to mention. In the film, Captain Nemo attacked other ships while making his sub look like a monster. I didn't see the 'monster headlights' turn on in your demonstration. I assume they will be added later?

[@themodelbench]

Fantastic...love it! You did an amazing job on the painting....so nice. :) Perfect model.

I remember Disneyland having a submarine ride that was very cool, but used "generic" su marines. But wasnt there a time when they had these (Nautilus) submarines in their lagoon?

Stunning job well done. I've considered getting into 3d printing, and your Nautilus build might push me to do it. What files did you use?

[@wimvancoillie3036]

One of my favorite models! On what beast of a 3d printer did your print this monster?

[@TrekWorks]

I used the Anycubic Vyper FDM printer for the hull parts and my Anycubic photon M3 premium resin printer for the small detail parts.

@@TrekWorks Thank you! I'll check them out.

[@Nathanh915]

Outstanding Work!! What kind of spray gun are you using? My small airbrush clogs using the craft paint.

[@TrekWorks]

Use isopropyl alcohol to thin it and run it through a paper paint strainer. It's a must and after that it will spray perfectly in your airbrush.

Hi, beautiful work! Where did you find the 3d file?

Awesome model. Any idea what scale yours printed at?

[@TrekWorks]

I'm not sure what scale it is. The STL files if printed at 100% have the model at 66 inches. I printed at 65% and it came out to 42 inches.

[@iangreen4572]

@@TrekWorks ok, thanks. I've just seen a 1/48 scale Nautilus from Nautilus Drydocks and that is 49 inches long, so yours must be about 1/56 scale. The 66 inch Nautilus is 1/35 scale.

Hi Boyd. If I wanted to commission you to print one of these kits, what would it cost, and would you do it?

@@TrekWorks That's understandable. I'll tell you what....I have about 20 kits to build(I'm currently working on the Razor Crest), that I'm planning to build to hone all the skills I'll need to do a really good job building my 1/350 USS Enterprise Refit kit. This could take me years to do. If you pick up a 2nd printer some day, I'm prepared to wait for you to do that while I'm working on the other projects. It's just that I've been dying to build a Harper Goff Nautilus for...well, forever. I love that ship and the film it's in, and NOBODY has that kit available anymore. It's on my model bucket list, so I would really appreciate it if you keep me in mind down the road. Thanks.
