Thank you very much, mates. The next thing I'm going to do is the organ. Maybe I can complete it today. But I'm not sure.

Now, if you want to hear/read something funny: I just saw an interior set for this kit of the Nautilus. I think I'm going to order it. It'll take one or maybe two weeks longer now but I think it's worth it.
Wenn jemand einen Witz hören möchte: Soeben habe ich im Internet einen Bausatz für die Inneneinrichtung dieser Nautilus gesehen. Ich werde ihn mir bestellen. Das dauert jetzt zwar eine Woche oder zwei länger, aber ich denke, dass es das Wert ist.

Today I was informed that the interior set for the Nautilus is now in the German customs office and I hope that I will be able to pick it up very soon.

No, I don't think so. But I can tell you when I have it in my hands.

Today I received the interior parts for my Nautilus. They are not 3D-printed. They are moulded in resin.

Hi Siegfried, maybe you can give me a link where I can get the detail set for this Nautilus?
Thank You! 🙂

Even when it is a superb weekend - a little bit of modelling is always possible.
Auch wenn es ein Superwochenende ist - ein bisschen Modellbau geht immer.

An organ in the salon! That´s what the boys on a Type VII may have dreamed off... 😉

I think in a type VII submarine there wasn't enough physical and even less mental space for such an instrument.

very nice project! I remember the movie too, must be great to be able to build a memory like that

This weekend I couldn't do as much as I wanted to, because I had so much to at the house. But I hope that you will like it anyway. Dieses Wochenende konnte ich leider nicht so viel machen, wie ich gerne hätte, da ich so viel am Hause erledigen musste. Ich hoffe dennoch, dass es euch trotzdem gefällt.

A small update for the Nautilus. Not much but better than nothing.

Beautiful-could never afford that kit--so I scratch built one from balsa wood sticks and stretched paper.

Thanks, Niels. Yours doesn't look bad either. My Nautilus is a once in a life-time model. It's not very accurate but I like it anyway. There are a few large gaps which I filled with white glue and painted them over afterwards. But in the end it is something beside the main stream and an eye-catcher during model exhibitions.

That is something I didn't expect with a kit like this: Such large gaps. But I found a solution: white glue. This has to be added in several layers so it takes another few days just to get this window ready.
Das habe ich bei einem solchen Bausatz allerdings nicht erwartet: Solche große Lücken. Aber man wäre ja kein Modellbauer, fände man dafür keine Lösung: Weißleim. Dieser muss allerdings in mehreren Schichten aufgebracht werden, da er ja ziemlich schnell verläuft und sonst dort hinlaufen würde, wo man ihn nicht gebrauchen kann.

good progress, I've used white glue as a filler too, but it shrinks quite badly so several layers are indeed neccesary. Switched to perfect plastic putty since, excess can be wiped away with wet fingertips....very nice product scalemates.com/kits/177154-d..s-bd44-perfect-plastic-putty

That sounds very good indeed. Where can I get it from? I think the shrinking of the white glue comes from the water in it. Because it is water soluble and the water will evaporate with the time.

Album info
Who does not remember the famous submarine from the Walt Disney Film "20.000 leagues under the sea"? I was always looking for a model of this submarine since I saw this movie for the first time. I had no luck until recently. I bought this model right away because I had to have it. Now as I got it I must say that I didn't believe that it was so huge. It measures from nose to tail more than 70 cm(!).
And here I'm going to build it.
