Has anyone seen pictures, plans, etc. for the Nautalus submarine from Jules Verne’s 20,000 leagues under the sea. I want to model it at periscope depth looking out of my pond at an Indian village.

Wow! That looks exactly like what my warped mind has been picturing. Now if I can just get all of the pictures to load, and figure out what size it is, I might have solved one idea easily.

The 'real thing' was 192 feet long.

1/29th scale = 6.5 feet long

1/24th scale = 8 feet long

1/22.5 scale = 8.53 feet long

1/20.3 scale = 9.45 feet long

Sounds like some selective compression may be required :wink:

Just re-reading your post there....if all you are going to see is the periscope, why do you need to know how long the rest of it is?

And I don’t recall Nautilus having a periscope, for that matter. Not that it matters.
