First saw 20 K in the early 50's with my Dad. Been a fan ever since. For my money, that boat was and still is, one of the most fantastic designs ever created for a feature film. Thanks for sharing!
what a fantastic job you have done.all of my youth i built submarine kits most were variations of type 7 or 9 as they had the best detail.now at 67 years i find on the internet a true artiste! i complimemt you! build on!
That fog shot was AWESOME!! Now just imagine if you could get tiny people to fit in there, go sea walking and such in mini scuba gear accurately recreated from the movie?!? 🤩🤩🤩
Watched the whole video. Very diligent and skilful engineering with pretence. accurate without fawning over the concept. Clear, clean and simply well thought out and built. My respect and admiration to you. A pleasure to share Thanks from Geoff in Norwich England
This is just perfect. I always wanted a RC model of the submarine as a kid. Well I do not have the skill to build something like this, But I am happy that you have. :) Good work.
Amazing! I've been wondering for years what happened to the model that was at the entrance of the exhibit at Disneyland. It looked like it was fabricated from brass. Any idea?
Man, you're killing me! I just got done marveling at your video of your 48" model then I see this! This is over the top! What next, something you can actually ride in? :-D Hey, how about some video of it submerged? So where does one obtain these models? I just want a nice display unit is all. On another note, how the FFFFF do 51 people thumb this down??? WTF!!!
I don't have the sound on because im at work so I don't know if you covered why you dont show it submerging?. I was looking forward to that in your clip. Otherwise, awesome model, it really had the feel of being cast iron and brought back fond memories. thanks for the share.
speedy counihan If memory serves, this particular build had a fixed skiff. Making it removable is exceptionally easy, however. I typically use rare earth magnets to hold it in place in those situations.
Hey, I seen one of these at gold coast hobbies in glenhead, just the top section. The story on it was that it was custom made and 10k but it's 100% this kit, sans workable gill.
I have an 84" model by William Babbington, but it's not an RC sub (just for display only). Yours looks amazing! Mine also has the docking light for the longboat, but all of the lights have ceased to work now. :-(
I do commissioned buildups for customers. This particular model kit is now officially out of production, but I do still have one piece in inventory that is unstarted. These are definitely custom jobs and R/C subs are typically not sold from "inventory". I hope that helps!
Has anyone had the idea of making a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Nautilus where it can SINK other model ships? I know part of it has to be metal, but where's the fun in not trying new things?
I'm not sure what you mean by a "new review". What are you looking for? I'm happy to help in any way I can. Just pop me an email to bob (at) rc-sub dot com and I'll get back to you ASAP.
Carnation77 Since 1977 Great catch! The model is not 66" long as I stated... it's actually 66.5" long. Thank you for bringing that oversight to my attention! ;) Trust me.. she's a five and a half-footer!
+Sten43 Since 1977 i thought the very same 'til i saw this pic while i googled the length of said sub :D www.rc-sub.com/files/projects/pictures/ee906fa9-1c1f-87ab-3c41-a9d0bf611be6.jpg
+Frank Ruffolo Actually, that photo is of a kit put out by Stan Sanders that ends up being closer to 7ft when completed. this build was based off of a Custom Replicas 66.5" kit.

thank you for posting, very handsum fit and finish, lots of hidden beautiful detail.
SERIOUSLY TAKE MY MONEY. My childhood would be complete with this.
This is just perfect. I always wanted a RC model of the submarine as a kid. Well I do not have the skill to build something like this, But I am happy that you have. :) Good work.
FANDAMNEDTASTIC model, of my favorite sub! Thanks for sharing with us all.
That's a thing of great beauty. Immaculate.
Fantastic model and nice video! :-)
Goosebumps! Magnificent!
Nice one! Thank you for sharing your skills with us.
wow your an artiste, is it possible to see that sub under water !
What a beautiful piece, well done man.
You should be doing models for movie sets. That is amazing.
Beautiful job.
7:40 his voice cracked. . .signalling the end of innocence and the beginning of his adolescence.
Just amazing 🤩
beautiful job my friend
That thing is so bad ass in a Steam Punk kinda way!
Jules Verne was steampunk wayyyy before steampunk was cool.
Damn that sub is the bomb saw that movie as a kid, guess I am older but wiser lol
Perfect ! very nice job ! Congrats !
This is awesome.
Very nice model
Amazing! I've been wondering for years what happened to the model that was at the entrance of the exhibit at Disneyland. It looked like it was fabricated from brass. Any idea?
Does this come complete with pipe organ or is that extra?

I miss the ride at WDW. Would be cool to have one of those subs parked in the yard but I bet they've got a hefty price tag.
Been staring at these videos for two weeks now. Well, if I move the toaster oven that gives me.....
freaky amazing
Beautiful! Take my money!!
Do RC signals have problems as far as penetrating water?
Speechless
I really do miss some footage at night, submerged with all the lights on.....
Watch on the Disney movie, in one scene it shown the stern light.
Harper Goff also designed the Proteus submarine from 'Fantastic Voyage'.

Can the lifeboat be removed from its storage area on the stern?

Absolutely superb.. i am speechless.. if you every want to sell it let me no..GREAT JOB

Hey! This video came out on my 11th birthday!

Love the video :) The music in the end who made that?
Link for the intro music?
The music was created for me by Tom Martin of OBT Music (www.obtmusic.com).
@@RCSubGuy what are the keywords to use for me to find it?
@@RCSubGuy I actually found it. Here's the link

Make a 1:12 scale. Lol
Omg dood SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
There's no way that's 66" long. That's 5.5 feet. Unless we measure it different in the UK. Great model however none the less.

Trust me.. she's a five and a half-footer!
No problem. It looks like you've put a great deal of work into it, or should I say 'Her'. ;)
