My next project is going to be the Pegasus Hobbies 1:144 Nautilus submarine, from Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I'm really excited to begin this project and see what I can accomplish.
I'll be the first to admit this project is going to be a bit of stretch for me. There are a number of techniques I'll need to master, and new skills I'll need to acquire if I'm going to complete this one. It is definitely a bit outside my comfort zone, but I figured I was up for a challenge this summer. This will be my first project using photoetched parts, as well as the first one to require more complex and detailed airbrush work. I've only gotten into the hobby seriously about a year ago, though I did do some projects back when I was a kid. You can get an idea of some of my previous completed projects here on the forums.
I'm going to post lots of details and pictures here in the hopes of collecting some good feedback, tips, and constructive criticism. Anything I can do to make this better will be greatly appreciated. Ideally, I'd like to enter this model into an IPMS contest in September, but we'll see how it goes between now and then.
To start, here are some photos of what I've got to work with. The main kit comes with 8 sprues, a clear plastic sprue, some photo etch, some window masks, and aresin vinyl base.
