Hi all This is going to be my "Build of the year 2016" entry. After contemplating for many weeks,I have decided on this outstanding model. It will be complemented by the Nautilus photoetch kit and the Nautilus lighting kit both by Paragrafix.This build will be my first attempt at using photoetch and lighting.Wish me luck.

Well, now I'm annoyed  I have this kit with the etch and lighting and have also been considering it for the comp  I was just too slow! All the best with it, I'll certainly be watching what you do with it. Good luck Steve

Hi all Thanks Alan, Metal Mech. Metal Mech, while searching on the net, I came across a forum that someone had commented on how detailed this kit was from a few years ago and show some very detailed pictures. Regards Taz “Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.”

I'll enjoy watching this build Taz!! 
I have looked at this kit several times myself over the last year and seen some great builds of it on the internet. Is it the kit that comes with the display stand in the form of a giant squid holding the Nautilus in its' tentacles, as I think some of the foreign releases don't have the squid included?
Good luck in the competition and great choice!!

Hi Model mania Yes it is the one with the Giant Squid as a Base, I think it looks great with it. “Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.”
