League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Movie Nautilus

http://www.modelshipmaster.com/products/submarines/nautilus.htm

This is the design for the Nautilus from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie. Unfortunately I find it just as disappointing as the movie itself. To me it basically looks like a generic WWII submarine with a few indian stye patterns tacked on as an after thought.

  1. Considering the film is set in 1899 I think the "generic WWII" design is way ahead of it's time. The Indian patterns are also an obvious addition given Nemo's heritage. I love the combination of the tumblehome hull crossed with the minimal WWII influence to produce this lovely model.
