Jules Verne's Nautilus, por Seb

Há por aí fãs das grandiosas histórias de Júlio Verne? Se sim, então vão adorar esta representação em LEGO do mítico Nautilus, o submarino do Capitão Nemo das 20.000 Léguas Submarinas.

A autoria é de Seb_E, um LEGO fan que submeteu esta ideia na plataforma LEGO Ideas (e até já tem um projecto que chegou aos 10.000 apoios, o Floating Island).

Esta sua nova ideia conta com 1753 peças e representa o veículo tal como Verne o descreveu. Tem ainda também o "monstro marinho", algumas ruínas da Atlântida e plantas no fundo do mar, e interiores bastante detalhados, como a sala de controlo, sala de máquinas, salão, escotilha e zona de mergulho.

É um projecto recente, com menos de 24h, e conta já com mais de 100 apoios. Quem quiser apoiar este projecto, pode fazê-lo aqui.

Fica aqui uma descrição do MOC por parte do autor:

Nautilus is the submarine featured in Jules Verne's novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870).

Jules Verne has been one of the most-translated authors in the world and he has sometimes been called the "Father of Science Fiction".

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas is one of his greatest works. It tells the story of marine biologist Pierre Aronnax, his manservant Conseil and harpoonist Ned Land, who – after joining the hunt for a mysterious sea monster – are thrown overboard when the monster attacks and find themselves prisoners of Captain Nemo. On board the Nautilus, the three companions get to experience the vast and endlessly fascinating world under the sea.

Nautilus, designed and commanded by Captain Nemo, is described by Verne as “a very long cylinder with conical ends” and "a masterpiece containing masterpieces".

My submission attempts to faithfully capture the spirit of Jules Verne while allowing great playability.

The submarine is easily openable to give access to all the detailed interior spaces which include the wheel house, the grand salon, the opening main hatch , the diving area, and the engine room.

All around Nautilus, you can also display giant squid, ruins of Atlantis ,diver suit and marine life to reenact your favorite scenes or create new ones.

This model uses 1753 parts and includes Captain Nemo, Professor Aronnax, Ned Land, Conseil and the Nautilus’ First Mate.

I hope you enjoy this submission.
