USS Nautilus in dry dock

Roland Sachsenhofer Auteur
The USS Nautilus model is now complete. I had the following idea for presenting the model: since, in my personal opinion, a submarine model on its own doesn't look like much and I want to showcase it in a way that really highlights what I like about these vehicles, so there are two presentation versions. You can see the first one here:
I have set up a dry dock that can generally serve as a backdrop for submarines and ships on a scale of 1:350. To do this, I scanned a display from Coastal Kits on a scale of 1:144, reduced it to 1:350, printed it out and cut it up so that I could build it spatially. The landscape background is designed for changing harbour architectures and can be exchanged. The rest is a photographic game with a low horizon line, exposures and colour accents. Of course, the whole thing is only an approximation of the original and is just intended to place the boat in an atmospheric setting.

A second and final presentation has now been made and is featured in a separate gallery post: 'Full speed ahead on the high seas' 🙂 The pictures can be viewed in a separate post.
