I am 74-years old, and this was my favorite fantasy boat, and it still is. Your wonderful recreation made me feel young again!!

I've always LOVED the Disney "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" Nautilus design; what an extraordinary job you did with the RC conversion. Truly professional videography. The addition of Captain Nemo's organ music was the icing on the cake. What a great teacher you are!

What beautiful control and trim! You only forgot one thing in the video: a surfacred night run across the pool, lights glowing!

Sixty-years ago, I first saw this incredible boat in the movie, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," a Disney classic. So to see this gem so faithfully and beautifully reproduced nearly brought tears to my eyes. THANK YOU for making an old boy's dream come true.

I have a 7' William Babington version of this; after 30 years, it no longer lights up, and it has suffered some damage from being relocated, but it is still the center piece of my living room. I'm 67 years old, and have been a fan of Jules Verne's stories since I was in 3rd Grade; I lived aboard a cabin cruiser named Nautilus for over a decade, and got to go aboard a real submarine in Bali on my honeymoon. This is a physical manifestation of my dreams come true! Amazing model!

2:20, for a second I thought you had a Tiger.

I love the fact that you put Nemo playing the organ the music is just one of the many calling cards to 20,000 leagues under the sea

Beautiful! Outstanding work and pilotage. Loved the movie sound effects and "Toccata and Fugue," played by Captain Nemo, I'm sure. The Cat Monster from Mystery Island was a nice touch, too. Got to mention Ned Land - my hero as soon as that movie came out! I was nine, and even memorized "Whale of a Tale" and performed it. RIP Kirk Douglas.

Seeing that thing under the water was the coolest thing I've seen for a long time.

The kit is available from the nautilusdrydocks (dot com). Lighting is fully integrated into the model and they are not removable.

I am always amazed at the amount of time and intelligence people put into hobbies that I never even knew existed. The video and submarine are SO cool. Great job.

you NEED to use this in a short film! Its amazing!

It's absolutely beautiful!! Great work!!

The most iconic submarine ever seen on film, in its natural habitat. Fantabulous!

Amazing RC model! Yes, I noticed the Nautilus does not have any bow planes. Ned Land in Nemo's cabin is a masterful touch.

This is amazing! I love this Disney movie and the submarine as well! I'm very impressed of this model! Thanks for showing to us RCSubGuy.

EXCELLENT REPLICAN OF THAT SUBMARINE, WE COULD STAND TO SEE MORE OF THE NAUTILUS!

Awesome replica man! One things for sure, Jules Verne had an incredible imagination, and you brought it to life.

Amazing. My two favorite Parts were Ned Land on the Observation Deck, And the Cat going "What the heck is that?" :)

That cat saying, I want that fish ! But it is a beautiful model .

A true work of art !! You are quite the artisan

best replica i have EVER seen, and the cat in the video made this 100 times better lol awesome kit man, i would love to have your talent

Really enjoyed this. I have always loved it's design. Well done!

The coolest most entertaining RC Sub video around. Great build and paint. Plus some dang good camera work. Very, very well done.

cool. gonna have to watch the film again. always loved the sub design.

One of my most favorite videos

I always loved the movie and this sub is magnificent!

The air in the ballast tank is forced through small holes into the two electronics compartments. As the water level rises, the pressure builds in these two sections. As such, you can get about 80% of the tank full before the pump no longer has sufficient power to move more water. As the water is pumped out, the air returns to the ballast tank.

Beautiful work of art and design BRAVO

I wish I could post pictures here, I just had a 13-in 3D printed model done by a friend with non-toxic plastics, painted with aquarium safe paints, the eyes and Nemo's cabin were painted with a aquarium safe glow in the dark paint. The Nautilus naturally floats at the water line and stays upright. So I suspended it mid tank with a rock and a fishing line.... Took the fish a while to get used to it. But with a couple of sunken ships at the bottom for my huge 9-in pleco.... Natural plans. Natural lighting... It looks absolutely fantastic!

Absolutely gorgeous , and the details of Ned in the captains cabin viewport and Nemo at the helm are the clinchers!

In any version of the story, THIS is still the best version of the Nautilus ever. Good job, sir. 👍

Well done Sir, well done. Beautiful detail, beautiful craftsmanship. Outstanding performance in the water.

This just never ever gets old.

Long time finding this clip, but worth the wait! This is a brilliant model, and I was blown away at the end with the little Kirk Douglas looking out the viewport of the sub!

Ok now that was super awesome to watch. The maneuverability of that sub was incredible to see. Looks gorgeous as well. The detail was impressive.

I have watched your video a bunch of times and I am still impressed with the detail and operation of your Nautilus. Having worked in a Hobby store for a number of years, built and destroyed and rebuilt again just about everything, I know the complexity "sometimes frustration" involved with a model such as yours. "I want one" I just wouldn't be able to afford the model or pool construction.

Blessings my friend. I love the older type subs myself.... Great Craft you have🦾🦾🦾🦾👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 and great camera work.....love it 🦾🦾🦾🦾

Amazing .i am surprised Disney officials have not approach you and offered you a job . Truly a labor of love

Outstanding build!

Just watching this was rather mesmerizing!

peaceful to watch...thank you

The greatest R/C model of them all.

This is absolutely amazing.

OK, that's probably the coolest thing I've seen in the last year or so. Awesome stuff.

Your creation proves that a real sub could be built to the movie’s design and be fully navigable. Well done! Now, find a squid to play with it!😜

One of the coolest toys I have ever seen!!!

I got the web site! Thx alot Capt. Fair winds & following seas.

Out standing

EXCELLENT job ... Scale speed too ... I'm impressed! :)

Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and post in HD. An excellent model too.

Just gorgeous !

Absolutely amazing!

best fictional vehicle ever conceived in my opinion, and a SPECTACULAR physical and functional representation of her here sir, well done sir... well done...

Stellar craftsmanship! Wish I had one!!

Outstanding!

That is absolutely amazing!

Epic! You have really created a piece of art. Bravo!

Stunning

absolutely unbelievable! a real genius piece of work! kudos!

that model handles well in the water!

Just the coolest thing I have seen in a while..very nice

Awesome, Beatifull. Thanks

The addition of the music got a sub 😉

Talent at its finest 👏👏👏👌👌👌

beautiful the way you did that!

Nice music choice. :)

Spectacular!

The Cat-ptain Nemo gave quite a performance as well.

Awesome job!! Smoke'n cool!

What a fantastic job. It looks great, and you should be very proud of what you've done. Now I'm going to have to go watch the movie. Where's my popcorn 🍿?

That behaves really well. You have buit a real masterpiece there.

As an old boat sailor, I like it!

Its just sooooo beautiful!

Really cool!

That is fantastic, very well done sir.

THAT IS AMAZING!!!

This is beyond epic. I need to get this.

That's fantastic, great video.

Very nice work! I am very impressed.

This was really fun to see. Wonderful work and the cat found it absolutely fascinating! There's your seal of approvel!

absoluetely fantastic, am building 2 r/c models ob bismarck and hood Great movie and the nautilus, even better it's fully remote controlled and dive and surface, fantastic.

I could almost imagine a miniature squid moving in!

The music of the clip 1:22 is good to my ears

the bow thruster is very cool Great job. You must have a lot of time and money!

I'm trying to recreate with a 3d printed submarine with a different way of underwater propulsion created by a genius inventor, your site will help me a lot in the process, thank you for sharing all of your expertise, hopefully mine will work for it implicates de awakening of electro magneto dynamic forces of water. What a beautiful inspiring work of yours, your dedication is incredible, it looks Majestic....With no doubt you have the greatest most technical site even to this date!!

She is beautiful!

Awesome!!!! Il'l have to bring over my RC giant squid for a play date!

very cool !!!

Awesome!

Cool figure in the salon window

I also have a PT1 to this video where I go over all of the technical details on it. To summarize, however, the boat does not have functional dive planes, but rather I implemented a gimbaled propeller for pitch control. In that manner I can get instantaneous pitch control at any speed provided that I am under power. The stock dive planes are useless, being too close to the model's centerline and too small to prove effective in the slightest.

wow, you did a wonderful job! my compliments to you

If you could just get a tiny camera inside the pilot house, and the observation room and record a pov from both spots, and at night with the lights on would be so cool!!

Any space left for a pipe organ?

you did a Awesome job. looks very much like the one in the movie. and the scale figures bring it to life. One thing I always noticed about the remote controlled subs is they never sit as high in the water as they should when surfaced. But it seems models of subs like the Seaview even to the WWII boats always sit lower in the water than what the real ones did. never understood that with remote controlled submarines.

omg! that is beautiful! if I were a billionaire I would build one full scale. And that dirigible thing too

That was so cool

Brilliant!!!!! :)

"...COLLISION SPEED, FULL!!!"
