Nautilus Submarine

 

 

• Total Immersion Disney Nautilus - WARNING! Click on the link for a blog article on this company. It is owned by a man by the name of Lee Seiler. The site looks to be professional and the product good, however do not be fooled. First off, the kit is an unauthorized recast and re-tool of our own Drydocks kit, created by Master Modeler, Scott Brodeen. The kits are poor quality, cast in cheap resin and rife with air bubbles and warped parts. Secondly, Lee takes payment for kits and never delivers product. I have had customers waiting years for their kits with no success. The internet forums are filled to the brim with negative comments and tales of non-delivery of product. Do not purchase from Total Immersions. You have been warned!
