Disney Nautilus RC Submarine in 1/35 scale

[@TerryB751]

So impressive for sure. I always wondered if they used a radio controlled Nautilus model for the underwater scenes in the movie, or if that would have been even possible back then. The underwater model scenes back in the 1950s were incredible for their time.

[@mtv1geo280]

So awesome! Glad you were able to rescue this masterpiece! My absolute favorite sub.

[@ajones4064]

Easily the most beautiful R/C submarine I've ever seen!!! Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us!!!

[@bladerunner1955]

So cool, great build watched it several times

[@tempestfury8324]

I've always loved the design. It was steampunk before that was even a word.

[@DrWhom]

The Victorian age was steampunk before that was a word.

[@richardparrott7192]

Just "liked" the old video! Now I found this! So great you saved this beautiful boat! Love the artistry and engineering that you put into this.

[@richardtripp2221]

Beautiful boat Bob. I cant believe that someone would want to chop up this vessel. Thank God you rescued it. Great performance too.

[@garydeffenbaugh1096]

Watching the model almost reminds me of the movie as a kid..One of my favorites Disney classics. Great detail.

[@kentdavis9348]

This is one model you should keep and let it represent your business.. Well Done!!!

[@brianperry]

I've loved that boat ever since I saw the film in the 1954, My mother bought me the Disney book for Christmas, with photographs from the original film.... alas, long gone...Beautiful model of this classic movie submarine. No other movie submarine comes close to this one...

[@Hunpecked]

I saw it in a theater when the film was released. I was a kid, so I didn't comprehend the full story until I saw it again when I was older, but it's always been my favorite Disney film. Love the boat, too, but there's no way it would have survived that deep dive when it was hit by the warship. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3yylmmKnsx0mc0

[@fsantosneto]

Nautilus, the best of all. Congratulations Bob!

[@VegasMikeP229]

I was the lead reactor instrumentation and control technician from Newport News Shipyard (NNSY) to the USS Los Angeles, SSN - 688 during its construction. Capt. Christensen was my next door neighbor. When I went to a vacation at Disney World, I bought a postcard of this Nautilus and sent it to "Capt Christensen, c/o NNSY, USS Los Angeles". Told him that this was to be the final hull configuration of his Super Fast / Super Quiet boat. When this picture of a lumpy submarine showed up, they actually did not believe me!! He called me a name when I got back to work!! Fun times.

[@advancedtechnologiesandresearc]

AN ABSOLUTE WORK OF ART MY FRIEND !!!!

[@jamessommer6077]

Absolutely beautiful as I loved the one at Disney world in Orlando,Florida!,every time I see it I always believed it was real. Thanks for sharing your model as its a true vessel.

[@philipwethington7965]

I am glad I am not the only one that thought it was real.

[@emiliovillanueva6885]

WOW! WOW! WOW! EXCEPTIONAL MACHINE LOOKS A FINE TOUCH OF VICTORIAN AND ART NOUVEAU IN A EXTRAORDINARY TECHNOLOGICAL PIECE!

[@LyfovRyan51]

I'm fascinated by your work. Never seen anything like it. Great results.

[@vichaipakulanont9193]

It's the best one that I can seen.

[@georginaofarrell9254]

Really terrific working model. The Nautilus captured my young imagination when I first saw the movie at the theater, the opening sequence was a clincher and your model certainly is the spitting image of it. I'd love to see her moving underwater with a realistic background to match your model's beautiful silhouette. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

[@Gunslinger1875]

Thank God you saved it from being chopped up! Beautiful magnificent boat in and out of water. HOOAH!

[@charlesballard5251]

Greatest sub ever envisioned, even with its flawed diving planes. Now build the SEAVIEW!!!!

[@vsergeiev]

What a marvelous beauty! Thanks a lot for sharing your video!

[@AyubKhan-md4km]

Amazing! It was such a fabulously built sub, Bob. I wish there was a boat that the sub with its serrated front end could attack like in the movie

[@writerrhino166]

Wicked cool, well done, sir. I especially liked the run with nothing but the alligator eyes above the surface, just like the movie!

[@scottmccloud9029]

I have always wanted to build that model. That's awesome!! Captain Nemo would be proud.

[@jonathanbrock3462]

Fantastic video Bob! Love all your work with RC subs especially the Nautilus. Beautiful craftsmanship of the best sub ever!!

[@jandoerlidoe3412]

Wonderful model, versatile... detailed & functional... wonderful music too....

[@jway-z3088]

'Never taken out of the box' Is craziness to me also Bob! Not only that, but to somehow have a bunch of students get their hands on it and want to send it to the scrap yard is Ludacris!!!!

[@victorbrown3032]

Now I have to go watch the movie again! 😊

[@TheGeezzer]

Lovely model there Captain Nemo!

[@ikik3913]

Twenty thousand miles under the sea, Captain Nemo's Nautilus submarine!

[@RCSubGuy]

Leagues, not miles, but I love your enthusiasm!

[@Nautilus23]

more like 20 thousand dollars for how much you need to buy this.

[@leet2089]

That is amazing!!! The Nautilus is def the best sub design ever made

[@brianh256]

I've 3-D printed a few display models for people but this is awesome to see a working RC model .

[@peeweegnome8977]

Speaking as a former "bubblehead " the Nautilus is the coolest RC boat I have ever seen. I'm a RC car guy10 so far. Nice job 👍👍👍

[@RCSubGuy]

Thanks 👍

[@NgaiOlaudah]

beautifully built RC model; just so grand! thank you! you did just a great great job!

[@prsearls]

I loved that movie. This is the coolest submarine ever!

[@Aussiem8e]

That's awesome! Absolutely beautiful work Bob!

[@bobmckinley2498]

My favorite movie, your work is absolutely amazing.

[@wayshwing2628]

Bob this is an AMAZING boat! Great engineering!

[@AEStudt]

Figures everything way over priced or not available

[@vettebecker1]

Very cool, Capt., Nemo

[@kennethfharkin]

Wow, that is just beautiful and it performs so amazingly well. Now you just need some wooden hull warships to ram below the waterline and sink with it.

[@frankwhittemore9149]

Very nice! Just like the one from the movies! Fantastic job!

[@PhilBender612]

Such a cool looking submarine. It looks like some sort of prehistoric fish absolutely

[@claudenewbolt2659]

EXCELLENT, AND FANTASTIC, BOB MARTIN!

[@dirtybird2202]

Excellent Work, love detailed work that just works.

[@axeman3d]

A great model of a beautiful design. Looks amazing.

[@michaelturan8564]

Spectacular model and awesome video. Made my night!👍 Thanks! Mike

[@DisneyFaithful]

This is the greatest thing ever! Wonderful job on this! Wow!

[@smidge146]

Really want to build my own sub, watching your videos is giving me some good ideas!

[@jamesmziegler]

That might be the coolest thing ever built by a human.

[@lawrencejones1517]

GORGEOUS!! Awesome job on her!

[@jps99]

What an amazing recreation, hats off to you sir!

[@stamps45]

that was so cool , thanks for showing it.

[@ottovonottsville476]

Excellent. Back when vans were cool I wanted to outfit one on the nautilus theme with fiberglass riveted walls, bulkheads, head, galley, large portal, periscope etc I opted for 1/4" plywood + shag carpet. Oh well.

[@famouswolf526]

I loved that you took footage under water but it would have been cool to have a close up of it while under water!

[@spanishjo4282]

I award you the best RC creator awards!

[@eduardoquirino8131]

a marvelous rc submarine. congratulations!

[@philnewberry8072]

Awesome, friend. Very cool!

[@andreavcc]

magnificent model as always!

[@DENSUTUBE2008]

Absolutely beautiful !

[@keithj.6266]

I love it!! That is one of my all time favorite submarines as well (the Seaview is another). Have you ever considered making a similar in size scale model of the Proteus from Fantastic Voyage? That would be awesome! Keep up the great work. BTW yes I gave this video a thumbs up and subscribed to your channel. :)

[@cliffcampbell8827]

Fantastic attention to detail.

[@adriankingston4338]

Now that is the coolest model submarine ive ever seen usualy its all WWI WWII stuff but that is cool 😁👍plus i loved that movie pure adventure !!!

[@scaneagle62]

I had one that was used in a movie in San Diego but it was dry inside and forward motion made it dive or surface.. but it had lights all over it and looked really cool under water at night. It had hand done rivets like your and was super detailed with weather etc. How does it pump air back in to surface? Very awesome build.

[@miyahollands6136]

Would be cool to mount a insta go in the wheel house lower deck and get some really great underwater shots

[@Triplethreatindustries]

Love that sub !!!! Seriously contemplating building one. But I do have a question. It’s my understanding that most if not all rc subs can only dive to a max depth of about 3 ft due to reception . is that true ? If so it seems like a lot of work to dive 1 to 3 feet deep !!! Please enlighten me on this as I am very interested in subs just need some clarification. Thank you .

[@RCSubGuy]

Reception depth is a function of water purity, distance and depth. I've taken my subs over 20ft down in nice, clear, non-mineralized water. Add mineral, chemical or biological contaminants and your reception suffers dramatically.

[@watchmanschannelofdespair]

A work of art!

[@ekaputra2161]

Wow fantastic boats diving

[@blueterror2276]

What about the Ulysses from Atlantis the lost empire? That thing looked awsome

[@espenbgh2540]

Fantastic hobbybuild taken allmost to perfection, spending time this way one must admire.

[@deseanb5034]

Great Build !!!!!, I am truly a fan of your work and I’ve subscribed to your channel, I used to watch 20,000 Leagues Under the sea as a kid thank you for sharing. Have you ever considered building the Nautilus from the Movie League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen ?, that would be extremely cool to see from start to finish !!!!

[@RCSubGuy]

Search my channel! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWHChZZ7aq-AotE. I never did end up finishing this as it ended up getting damaged beyond repair in storage, but I made a start and hope to revisit it one day.

[@vanillagorilla8236]

I would like to see you build the one from the league of extraordinary gentlemen.

[@RCSubGuy]

I have one started already! I think I previewed it during one of my KZbin Live videos a while back. It's on the shelf right now as I'm swamped with other work, but it will run!

[@RCSubGuy]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWHChZZ7aq-AotE

[@davidtucker3008]

Wow, so you built the sub, sold it, years later you find it unused, trade something inconsequential for it, and become the owner. You're going to sell it a second time for profit. Dude i gotta hand it to ya, stuff never turns out like that for me. Bravo!

[@ELRAYMAKERSOLDADURA]

Fantastic !!!!

[@ericbrendan8094]

Sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

[@santanamalcolm8048]

@Eric Brendan instablaster :)

[@ericbrendan8094]

@Santana Malcolm thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@ericbrendan8094]

@Santana Malcolm it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account!

[@santanamalcolm8048]

@Eric Brendan Happy to help =)

[@gregmatthews6544]

Just came across your build, while surfing KZbin. It brought back memories of seeing my first r/c subs at hobby shows as a rugrat, with my dad. While I have built many r/c cars, trucks tanks, ships and boats, I’ve never built a submarine. After watching the Nautilus in action, I might have a new project to plan for. How far can you dive an r/c sub and still maintain control?

[@adolfomartinez3583]

Congrats... excellent piece of art...

[@MrGoodluckcharm1]

Work of art ..i would love to see you build the Seaview sub. where did you buy the running gear for the sub?

[@RCSubGuy]

Cylinder is an OTW offering, which I carry in my online store at www.nautilusdrydocks.com. I've also built Seaview in two different configurations. Vid in my channel!

[@davidpackard1]

Love this ship!!!

[@josephwilson6651]

what is the price of that glorious machine you've said you'll sell it is there a waiting list for it? or will it go to the top offer?

[@tomroelofs9935]

Nice work

[@jamesgraham6796]

Smiles all around

[@wiseapple]

Very cool...the only thing missing is a 1/35 scale Capt. Nemo that looks suspiciously like James Mason.

[@rolandtheheadlessthompsong4346]

Love that boat!!

[@northwind9505]

Very nice job and great story! I have one question. The antenna on the radio looks like at old AM version. Is it AM radio?

[@therodfather76]

Oh when I saw the title I thought ohhhh I can buy an RC Nautilus...... Then I watched and that dream died. But that thing is beautiful I went to Disney when I was 6 and road in the ride and watched the monster I fell in love

[@brucerumrey8894]

A very totally AWESOME boat, as are all your builds. Is their a reason that you use 75mz in stead of 2.4mz? It is hard to believe that someone would buy it and never display.

[@RCSubGuy]

75mhz is required for full submerging. High frequency does not penetrate water.

[@everlybross]

vous m'avez fait rêver...

[@franksmedley8619]

Hello there! This is an outstanding submarine, and one of my favorites from my childhood. I remember the movie version of 20,000 Leagues, and have never forgotten it in the decades since that time. Although modern submarines are optimized for their function, Verne's Nautilus was more than deadly to the sailing ships it preyed upon in Verne's tale. It also gives the ship a very visually distinctive presence in the water. Unlike any other ship or submarine ever after designed or built. I have often wondered if a real 1:1 scale version could ever be built, even using modern materials, that would function like Captain Nemo's vessel. Or, like your model version. Your ship is a most amazingly accurate, and functional vessel, and one would be ecstatic to own and display it in one's home. One question for you though, how much would a copy of your Nautilus cost?

[@flyurway]

With enough money you can build whatever you want. Almost surprised someone hasn't built a full scale working one yet.

[@jands6836]

Outstanding Disney Nautilus! Is it possibly for sale? Jan

[@michaelsmyth5658]

Love to see it going in the sea at night

[@actioncom2748]

You should get one of those small spy cameras and put it inside the wheelhouse. So we see the view from the inside looking out. See how close the filmmakers came to getting it right.

[@mikecimerian6913]

Did you build an Alvin type submarine? I would like to see one with an inboard camera and a lot of lighting. :) I remember reading long ago how Picard solved the loss of power problem on the Trieste. He used magnetic valves on the ballast nozzles which were filled with iron pellets. Too complicated of course but recovery after power drainage is possible if a servo is used to maintain tension on the emergency buoyancy release.

[@dominokid7996]

That’s so impressive

[@Meatball2022]

That’s beautiful

[@emmettrowe5164]

Well hello again my friend question number two will you be building another nachlas or will you be able to tell us where we can get a good size Nautilus maybe not as big as the one you had but maybe one that's 1/29 scale..???

[@RCSubGuy]

1/29 scale is larger than 1/35 scale. I now offer a 1/48 scale boat that is 49" in overall length. View it on my website at www.nautilusdrydocks.com

[@Explore-Gobal]

20:49 Bob, you forgot to lower the breather vents. I'm afraid you just killed all the crew and Nemo too. Hope Ned, Professor Arronax, and Conseil weren't on the boat. That's a beaut, really love the weathering job you did on that one. Did you video that process? I've already seen the real rust video, but that one turned out way too rusty for my taste, lol.

[@edieuro95]

This is nothing short of a masterpiece! Just amazing! How much did you sell it for if you don't mind me asking?

[@RCSubGuy]

One first-born child and a left hand (was supposed to be a left arm, but I gave him a discount)...

[@burcingursoy3125]

amazing work

[@LaLaRC]

I want to make it my next work. I'll think about it when my u-boot is done.

[@PCModelBuilder]

What planset did you use to build the boat? As with most enthusiasts I'd love to have them and don't mind paying for them I just need to know where to get them.

[@Dr.Strange.K]

Fantastic !!
