The

system at the close of the Federation's war with the Dominion.
The ship is named for the first submarine to reach the North
Pole, as well as Jules Verne's fictional vessel.
The
hull base coat is Flat White. Aggressor Gray and Flat Gull Gray
are the panel details. The Warp nacelles are detailed with
Flat Black, Medium Gray, and Copper. Phaser banks are Sand. RCS
Thrusters are Flat Yellow and Flat Black.
This model was a test in custom decal making. The model had been
built and painted in 1995 when the Reliant model kit was new. I had
stripped off the decals a year ago to refurbish the model. All
of the markings on the Nautilus were made in Adobe Illustrator
with several official and some custom-modified fonts. The
markings you see on this model were printed on matte, clear,
self-adhesive label paper.
The
red striping around the registry and the lower airlock hatches
are drawn in the hull grooves with a red pen.
