Could be used for a secret Nazi base, or for a 007 adventure too, right? CC |

Scenes like this come to mind whenever I see those pre-made pond bases in garden shops. |

Ooh, good call MrDodo. Shame I don't have the space :( |

So who's gonna build it and inspire us? |

Why, there is a small island JUST LIKE THAT right off the eastern coastline of Bongolesia not too far from Port Tuziak.
A delightful little place it is, now that the smugglers, cannibalistic natives, bloodthirsty butchering pirates, and poisonous snakes and spiders have been mostly cleaned out. The Govt. will be happy to lease it to you…for a nominal fee of course… |

If I move house soon (which is a possibility) then I may have to. Damn you all! |
| Cacique Caribe | 15 Jul 2008 12:25 p.m. PST |
You could always put some dinosaurs and cavemen on it too . . . TMP link CC

It's me. It'd probably become a Steampunk pirate haven :D |

This is the "Vulcania" restaurant in Tokyo: link And this is one way to get there: link CC |

I have never forgiven Disney World for taking away the "20,000 leagues" ride!!! :( |

Smokey, it's still at Tokyo Disney Sea, along with the Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Inside a giant volcanic island, no less, with some authentically VSF detailing and a life-size copy of the Nautilus: link
link OTOH, Tokyo Disney is the busiest theme park I've ever been to :( |
| Cacique Caribe | 23 Sep 2008 10:30 p.m. PST |
How about having some Pirates AND Dinosaurs on it??? TMP link CC |

Flying Steampunk pirates, naturally. Right? I mean, who doesn't love an aerial pirate? Really? |

Anyone who doesnt surely wounldn't peruse this particular board! |
| Glenn M | 24 Sep 2008 3:49 p.m. PST |
Skies of Arcadia JWOMACK94? Anyways, that is pretty sweet, seems like it'd fit in great with Crimson Skies. |

Damn if that isn't one of my favorite Disney movies of all time. Just so well done for the time it was made, and the recent remakes of it a few years back were horrible by comparison. Even today the giant squid attack still gives me the creeps. If you want to see another steampunk type of movie I recommend the anime movie Steamboy. They got Patrick Stewart to voice the grandfather and have Victorian steam powered armored suits. Fits the VSF very well. |

Wow. Excellent detail on that larger photo! Thanks so much. CC |

The photo is a bit grainy, but here are some of the installations within the crater bay: picture CC |
| YoursInaWhiteWineSauce | 29 Sep 2008 5:07 a.m. PST |
Anyone got an idea of how big the island is supposed to be? Trying to determine how large it should be at in 1/1200 scale |
| Cacique Caribe | 18 Jul 2009 9:38 p.m. PST |
Paul, I think the photo link you provided is amazing: picture But I guess this other illustration gives some idea of its size, when you compare it to the ships around it: picture
picture This island looks very much like Vulcania: link I would love to see someone make labs and buildings like the ones Disney's Nemo had in Vulcania: picture

disneysub.com/Files.html Nemo-esque boats and landing craft would be fantastic too! CC |
| Cacique Caribe | 19 Jul 2009 2:39 a.m. PST |
I guess there would have to be lots of space in the center lagoon to service a vessel this size: link CC |

Are those radars or something like it in the background of this picture? picture Dan |
| Colonel Hairy Haggis | 02 Aug 2010 5:08 p.m. PST |
Dan, I'm thinking solar collectors. Unless there were aeither fliers I didn't see in the movie. Speaking of aeither fliers
I think I'd add a deck gun or maybe a rocket battery to the Nautilus
As always at your service, Colonel Hairy Haggis |

"I'm thinking solar collectors" Excellent guess! Dan |
