- This model was built over a period of over twenty years by talented artist, Ken Dowd. Everything was built by hand, and no CAD or 3D printing was utilized. Everything was scratch built by hand. Every room. Every corridor. Every pot, pan, crate, barrel and valve are modeled.
This is, undoubtedly, a masterpiece.
Finished model with installed LED lighting can be viewed here:

This model belongs in a museum. Actually, the Smithsonian is where it belongs. The Nautilus deserves a spot just like the Enterprise got one. Beautiful work and most impressive. I can't wait to see this lit up in all its glory.
Absolutely. In a beautiful case where everyone can get right up to it and discover all the details.
... FULLY CONCUR ...
not really. fantasy craft are fun, but far too prominent in our current culture
@@DrWhom Which is exactly why it should be in the museum.
Thank you for proving the case!
@@DrWhom I feel like this kind of 70-year-old Atomic Age-meets-retro Flash Gordon science fiction/fantasy is fairly uncommon today... what's an example of it being "too prominent in our current culture"?
One of the best model iv ever seen
I'm totally blown away!
Ken is a real genius!!!! He is the real captain Nemo for me! 🤩🥺
Bob, thank you for having Ken as your guest on your show. He is truly an amazing artist. This should be in a museum. Best show todate.
Absolutely stunning! Here is a level of scratch building that few modelers will ever reach. This is just the coolest thing. Definitely museum quality.
BEST SHOW YET....THANK YOU.
There are no words to describe this amazing piece of art adequately.
Was àmazing not adequate enough ?
@@mohammadsattar5488 Jealous Much!?!?!? LOL 😏😋🥲🤪🙃😉😊😆😀🙂
I am absolutely stunned at the level of detail! This is a master piece that deserves to be in a museum
Do you think Ken could dare to give up his Nautilus while he's alive? I absolutely agree it is of museum quality craftsmanship. A fibre-optic inspection camera POV tour would top it off.
Absolutely incredible ultra detailed model of the Nautilus made by this retiree!
This man made my dreams come true!
Amazing!
I was 7 years old when I first saw this movie and have been fascinated with the movie and models of the Nautilus since. When we remodeled our basement, I painted one wall an ocean blue. I have always wanted someone with artistic skills to paint the Nautilus on the wall with a 3D perspective and an emphasis on the lighting and crocodile eyes. Great video…great project.
Sometimes and hour plus for another man's hobby is just soothing to watch. Kudos
The amount of love in his voice for that model is so sincere and its well deserved , i myself am in love with it and we've just met lol. Absolutely amazing talent & workmanship 👏 .
Bob that is a absolutely amazing model the best interior of the Disney nautilas to date .That is definitely a Smithsonian museum piece tim
Nessun commento in italiano???
WoW! A fantastic model. 😊
Can't wait for the next episode!
His work, that model are truly unbelievable. The thousands of hours he's put into creating, modeling and building this out, all without the aid of a computer are unfathomable. You can tell how proud he is of this, and the details he's created are simply incredible. Previous comments noted this model belongs in a museum.
that is an amazing model well done .
Dudes,
I'm an antique Fast Attack sailor/yardbird/multifaceted career supporting subs.
Love the work, setting considered in the details and outfitting, et al.
Bet Jules Verne

loved it.
excellent model !
Coolest grandpa! Super imagination and build skills. I'm just in awe of his skills and obvious patience.
Amazing job
WOW! What skill and craftsmanship. Well done sir!
Great Adventure

Fantastic Model
ReCreation from a Classic Movie that has

For Many Years 🕰️
THE NAUTILUS
RECOVERED , RESTORED AND STILL ROAMING THE SEAS 🌊
I was enthralled throughout the entire video! This is a true masterpiece!
It looks like he found treasure in that rabbit hole he fell into. The idea that the salon set of the movie would not fit into an actual submarine hull was the beginning of a very interesting journey for him. I'm grateful that he decided to share it with us. Thanks.
I'm watching this for the second time, he's a true artist! Amazing work!! I purchased the movie for my 65th birthday 😂 I remember seeing it that first time at our local theater on Saturday afternoon with my sisters!! I think if my Dad could have gotten away with it, he would have been right there beside us stuffing his face with popcorn too 😂❤!! I bought it for him as a Christmas present one year, he was telling the kids to sit down and be quiet, lol 😂, we all enjoyed the show!
I've seen a lot of model building in my life, some functional other display like this one.
This could be water, air, road, rail or space vehicles , contraptions whatever.
But this sits in the top 5 of best ever seen.
If you have computer tools or not, that doesn't matter, the attention to detail, the pure love gone in to this project, there are no words for this.
I look forward seeing the electrical cherry on the cake.
Sir you got my deepened respects…
Best regards,
Danny
I ran across this and hae to say this was fantastic! I loved 20,000 leagues under the Sea and was able to get both my niece and nephew to love it as well.
I. Am. Awestruck. That is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
Ken you sir are the master of model making. Your attention to details are beyond insane and your tenacity to staying on this project needs to be commended.
I really like miniature boat models, but I didn't think that someone would make a submarine with so many details. extraordinary work and attention and devotion. thank you
A labor of LOVE!
astonishing, to say the least, the work that's in there. I'm a 50yo self taught hyper realist and till a year ago I could paint that Venice easy, I'm not even new to scale models, and I'm still stunned with this man's work
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was the first book I read as a boy. It was my favorite ride at Walt Disney World and I love the movie. I have been aboard the USS Nautilus SSN-571 in Connecticut.
Mr. Dowd's model is absolutely amazing!
I’m 62 now and I VIVIDLY RECALL seeing “20K Leagues Under The Sea” at a local movie theater when I was very young ~ I begged my Mom to get the book, so I could ALWAYS Carry a piece of that Magic with me… We now have the DVD, Apple HD Movie, and my LIFELONG FASCINATION with all Jules Verne ‘things!’ THIS IS OFF The CHART AWESOME-SAUCE..!!! Thank YOU For Sharing THIS w/ a 62-Year Young BOY!😃🇺🇸
I stumbled on this video & my mind was blown by the workmanship, attention to detail, modularity & how intricate it is 👍👍👍
Always loved that ornate interior of the Nautilus!
Absolutely amazing! My lifelong dream.
Absolutely gorgeous display of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Fantastic sir!
This is LEGENDARY Level of Craftmanship, I think I cannot conjure the correct words to even say what I wanna say, hats off to a true Master Craftsman.
Really smart using this video as a way to show exactly how the builder removes the various pieces. I cannot imagine taking this apart without that knowledge. Sneaky Smart!!
Incredible thank you for sharing your Model with us !
This is absolutely amazing! Beautiful! I loved the movie. And seeing this model brings the adventure to life! Please let this eventually end up in a maritime museum to inspire future generations.
This is absolutely brilliant in both concept and execution! BRAVO!!!
This is so well done, incredible 🤯
Greetings! I have been following you for “many” years and now you have again come out of the “deep water” presenting an awesome Nautilus model! The Gentleman who presented this extraordinary model should receive some kind of award 🎖️ for his “attention to detail” with his work! Anxious to see the following wiring updates! ENJOYED THIS TREMENDOUSLY!! 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
I subscribe to the channel because of this video. I watched all 78 minutes partly out of interest and curiosity, and mostly out of respect to Ken snd his dedication to this project.
Cant wait for updates!
This is Beyond detailed. Amazing model! This is a true master artwork. Very Cool!!
Simply incredible. Clearly a labor of love.
Absolutely beautiful! Amazing. Run silent, run deep!
When I want inspiration, I always come back to this video !!! If this was on VHS, I would have worn the tape out already :)
Breathtaking Ken Dowd and Bob. Every modeler-maker needs to see this series, beautiful. I am a book collector, I grew very fond of Disney Studios illustrations of 20 000 Leagues in their boxed hardbacks and thought If i could find a good hardback of Verne's novel i would tip them in.
It turned out the Navel Institute Press published 20 000 Leagues in a unabridged, annotated and illustrated edition (restored from the original French texts) in 1993 by Walter Miller and Frederick Walter. Recommended.

Jaysus, Marie and Jehosaphat!! All I can say is Wow WowWow!!! 😮😮😮😮
It’s unbelievable that you crafted all of this by hand! I’m just awe struck.
What can I say? I am simply overwhelmed by this majestic work of love and dedication.
I would say that working on the lighting of this marvel would not be enough. How about installing smartphone cameras in every possible corner? With the right lens and the right software, we could even get a 360 view of the interior and all those little corners hidden from prying eyes.
Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful work.
beautiful work ! harper goffs drawings come to life -what a wonder of model making and artistry. congratulations
Amazing model Ken!
Beyond incredible! I really miss the days of talking to you in person about this wonderful project Ken.
Totally amazing. Wow! I saw the video was over an hour, “I don’t have time to watch that” I wish it was longer. Amazing
Totally REMARKABLE model work. SUPERB!
Absolutely amazing model excellent talent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great video Bob 👍
What better way to spend a sleepless night than to see this work of art. Incredible construction and detail, an artist turned naval engineer. Congratulations from Chile

Back in 1988 my wife and I went to Disney World. At the time, the 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea ride with the Nautilus was still in operation. As you perhaps know, Disney sells a hat for EVERYTHING. One of my cousins who collects different hats asked me to try and find him one that was unusual. I looked and looked at all the gift shops which were themed with the attractions and rides but could not find anything that truly stood out. Then we got to the 20000 Leagues ride. The attendants that were directing people through the cordons all wore the horizontal striped sailor shirts with Watch Hats (similar to Chauffeur's caps) with the stylized "N" and Trident above the brim representing the Nautilus. BINGO!!! I found it! So I asked where I could get one. They sort of looked puzzled and said "I don't think they sell them here". I could not believe it! It's not often that Disney misses a revenue/marketing opportunity.
Now I want to watch the movie again, just to refer back and forth to this model. Beautiful proportions and a phenomenal amount of detailed work.
According to the novella, Nemo had all the parts for Nautilus made all over the world and then shipped to the island where they build the submarine.
Incredible imagination and workmanship. Truly an artiste. Thank you to both of you for sharing this.
Wonderful and amazing work. Congratulations to Ken and thank you to give a new life to the Nautilus, the submarine of my chilhood !
What a great build and a great story by Mr. Dowd. It was like a private tour of the sub... just wow !
I recently dug my old, 30 inch Nautilus resin kit out, to repaint and touch it up, so I could share it here on Ebay, for my 100th video, and was busy at work on it, and felt kind of befuddled, until I saw this incredible video, and the TIME and WORK in it, and I just am in awe! I have nothing in comparison to the magnitude of this man's amazing work! Yes, THIS belongs in a museum, and yes, I say, right next to the 11 foot movie model or better! This is just amazing! My imagination goes wild pretending I am on the sub, at sea, with Nemo...a dream realized! Best Nautilus ever!
FAN-TAS-TIC ! EX-TRA-OR-DI-NA-RY ! This master piece leaves me speechless!
Sir you are a true craftsman! WOW I love this sub since I was a kid and first time watching the movie! I've been trying to purchase a Nautilus model that has a detailed interior or one that is hollow and I can make the interior. Your work is awesome!!! Beautiful
I am totally speechless just amazing work on detailing .
What a glorious piece of work! Very well done.
Это просто фантастика!!! Браво, парни!!!
This is a masterpiece! This definitely deserves to be in a museum. I wish I had this skill to build like this.
It's a whale of a tale and it's all true! Thank you for sharing this. Brings back some of my childhood memories.
This is genious. Fantastic. This model belongs at my house. Thanks
What an amazing job. I can't wait to see it completed with lights! Thanks for sharing this tour of my favorite sub.
What an honor it must be to be allowed to work on this marvelous piece of craftmanship! I'm so very curious how it will look with some lighting.
Amazing ..
Amazing detail; thanks for bringing it to us.
Unbelievable and amazing! We need more people like him
I've never even seen the movie no idea what that looks like.. But the level of detail is crazy, You can see love went into it.. And lots of trial and error
That work is amazing! Harper Goff and (especially) Walt Disney would be impressed by Ken Dowd's loving eye for detail. There seem to be quite a few others who think that this model should be exhibited in a museum. If Mr. Dowd is interested, he really ought to consider reaching out to the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco. I can't see them not being interested in showcasing this fine work.
WOW, what an amazing model and modeller!
this is amazing. makes me wish some one made a huge model or RC model of the Ulysses submarine from the disney movie atlantis. would be a cool build
Wow, that's absolutely awesome!!! Best modell I have ever seen 👍
Just trying to wrap my brain around the amount of talent, patience and imagination required to create this wonderful model. Now, after the lighting has been completed, you really need to have a micro-camera take a journey through the interior of the Nautilus.
You can always tell a passionate maker when they speak about their projects. A master at his craft and it shows. Amazing Build My Dude. Some how Pride just doesn't cover it does it?
This is FABULOUS.
Incredible work the sub is gorgeous just outstanding detail
Whoa. I love how this project got started!
as someone who recently spent 2,000 hours deep inside this beast, I really appreciate this level of detail and craftsmanship. congrats!
You spent 2000 hours... in the Disney Nautilus? Pray, tell me more.
@@RCSubGuy sorry, i didnt see the notification. I was a tech on a new TV show featuring the vessel. Fully assembled it would probably be about 500 feet long?
Not too much to say yet other than what is public knowledge already. ie A couple rooms were shifted around just like Ken did; And some rooms are different than the movie due to story-telling etc. Rather than removable walls: sometimes duplicate sets were used, without the walls at-all. I remember one day being underneath the forward bulkhead area, and I asked how safe it was, strength-wise for me to crawl-through.
_It's fun to see a finished set and play "is it cake": some things look so real, but it turns out it's just shaped foam or whatever._
Anyway everything was real metal and wood; It was pointed out to me that sets are often built STRONGER than real, as they also have to withstand all 10000's pounds static-weight of lighting/machinery/cameras/dolly's and then dozens of film-crew etc.
I can't wait for someone to do a full breakdown with the art directors discussing the similarities vs the necessary changes etc.
This is absolutely the best that I have ever seen well done Sir .
The more I watched the more holy cow it gets.
I had dinner at Dick Fleischer's house once and he showed me two models of the Nautilus he had. One was quiet small the other 2 to 3 foot long. I think both were used in the filming, Awesome experience. He was such a nice man.
This is absolutely unbelievable! Really crazy! Wonder if he could have done anything else than building this sub in the past 23 years. Its like you see it but you can`t believe it. Amazing!
OMG... This is the greatest 1954 Nautilus Model i've ever seen! I personally wouls give the sub '2' propeller's!
Then it wouldn't be the Nautilus. It would be some kind of kitbash. Kits are out there. Knock yourself out.
