Hi Ya'll :
Yeah it's the ole T.B. agin .This time with an off the wall something to think about . How many of us have seen the old Disney Classic " 20,000,00 Leagues Under the Sea " ? Yeah I know It was written by Jules Verne and first published in French ! Also His description in the book is way different from Disney's Model Shop Creation !
I have a paper Model of the ship as described by Verne in the original French .My,My what a difference . Conning tower ,side windows etc , Totally foreign to Disney's guys !
I have a suggestion here .I know that Pegasus has , Had ? one .Now take that and Modify it to the Disney standards ! Nope ! Too expensive ! How about this ,Get as many pictures ( drawings , Photos ,etc of the Disney version) and build it from scratch , with influences from the paper one !Nope ! Not for the beginner , but building the paper Model will make you comfortable enough that you can build this Gorgeous " Steam-Punk " ( That's what it's design has been called ) version using scraps from your Evergreen Scrapbox .
If you don't have one that's okay , Start with a Type VII "U" Boat ! Any thoughts anyone ? T.B. Oh , by the way , have your Rivet Wheel handy , She's got a lot !
