So you think you'd like a Nautilus inspired home? I'm sorry to disappoint, but someone has already beat you to it.
This was the apartment of Tom Scherman. According to Vulcania Submarine:
Tom was the premier NAUTILUS modeler and one of the movie’s greatest fans. As the story goes, he was “the kid hanging around Disneyland’s LEAGUES exhibit”, who got recognized for his passionate dedication to the movie and his amazing skill as a craftsman. That initial recognition led to a lifelong career that ultimately took Disney’s 20,000 Leagues into areas the movie’s producers never imagined.
Isn't it great?
(Thanks to Peachy Carnehan and the folks over on the Steampunk Forum for pointing this one out.)
Index for the Jules Verne Week Extravaganza.
I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future. It's taking the detritus of our modern technological society and remaking it into useful things. Join me as I search for items for my house that combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future.
