Submerge yourself in mystery and marvel with the Elusive Nautilus Submarine—a detailed, build-it-yourself metal model inspired by Jules Verne’s iconic undersea vessel from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. A blend of steampunk fantasy and marine engineering, this model is a masterpiece for hobbyists, sci-fi fans, and mechanical art collectors.
Made from 197 laser-cut stainless steel parts, the Elusive Nautilus offers a deeply satisfying building experience with no need for glue or soldering. The pieces fit together precisely and come with all tools included—pliers, file, gloves, and a polishing cloth. It’s the perfect weekend project for makers aged 14 and up.
This legendary submarine doesn’t just sit still. Once assembled, its spring-powered wind-up mechanism activates the rear propeller, bringing your model to life with subtle mechanical motion. The exterior design is packed with details: from a textured, riveted hull and tail rudder, to a glass-style dome, reminiscent of a real-world deep-sea explorer.
When complete, the Elusive Nautilus measures 25 × 6 × 8 cm (9.8 × 2.3 × 3.1 in) and makes a striking display piece on any shelf, desk, or model showcase. Built from food-grade stainless steel, it’s not only durable and safe but also sustainable.
The model comes packaged in a premium gift box, and includes a Metal Time collector’s pin and club stickers—making it a unique and thoughtful gift for engineers-at-heart, science fiction enthusiasts, or anyone with a passion for creative assembly.
Whether you’re diving into the unknown or commemorating a literary legend, the Elusive Nautilus invites you to captain your own submarine—no diving license required.
