The Duke's Shipyards Launch Two in December

[Duke Maddog]

Granted one is a complete fiction, but it is a boat so we launched it. First, let me present my Dragon 1/700 scale USS Roosevelt destroyer as she steams out on her shakedown cruise:

Now we have the Pegasus Hobbies 1/144 scale rendition of Jules Verne's Nautilus submarine from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea:

That's it so far, but stay tuned. I have a few more ships on the slipways that might just be done before year end. Until then, thank you for looking in, comments are welcome.

I like your Nautilus build as well Mark. Interesting color choice, bronze instead of boilerplate or rusty steel.

Thank you Paul! I wanted to emulate the Disney version a bit with the coppery bronze color. I also was trying to capture a more steampunk look with it so that it would stand out a bit more.

Thank you Chris! No, I shot it with a spray can of Krylon metallic copper, then brush painted all the details like the wires, deck, anchors and chain. I also added a black wash to all the crevices, crannies, grates, and vents.
