I sure did - it was a last minute thing and a tribute to Neal.
The company above the Subsim logo paid 8000$ for its logo there - Neal got it for free :D

Yeah - just a toy rifle. We picked it up at one of our stops. Its not there anymore...

Oberon 10-08-08 01:08 PM

Thought it looked quite unlike any rifle I'd seen before. Cool shots of the boat, she looks an absolute beaut. Look forward to seeing shots of the diving tests.

Shhhyyyyyy.....the engine on Nautilus actully failed one time when she was about to dock at another ship. That gave a shudder ;)
It was due to a mis-calibration of the engine or something like that - all fixed now
