Elusive Nautilus DIY Submarine Kit Mechanical Model
The sea and ocean depths contain many secrets, so underwater travel dreams have always been in the hands of inventors and engineers. Jules Verne’s book 20 Leagues Under the Sea was the first diesel punk novel dedicated to the underwater journey. She motivated designers and engineers to develop submarine prototypes. Deep-sea vehicle prototypes appeared in the early Middle Ages, but the first successful submarine tests in England did not occur until 1620. Underwater vehicles are among the most intricate mechanical-electronic systems, capable of enduring several months underwater and exploring the deepest depths of the world’s oceans.
Metal Time engineers and designers chose to commemorate the well-known submarines in the modular Elusive Nautilus. The designer’s primary approach was to form a perfect-shape model with ornamental details that would immediately draw attention. The outcome is a model that will embellish any interior. The exciting part of assembling the Elusive Nautilus will be receiving a small technical masterpiece.
Features, benefits
- Like all Metal Time prefabs, the Elusive Nautilus is made from maintainable food-grade stainless steel and is certified for consumer goods and toys.
Cutting the set precisely eliminates the likelihood of being cut during assembly. The parts fit closely together, so no joint problems will result.
- The brushed metal’s pleasant tactile qualities, durability, and aesthetics effectively differentiate steel parts from plastic or wooden parts used in other constructors.
- The model assembly process and the outcome in the finished model form will be a pleasure for you, giving you the feeling of a discoverer and design engineer.

- The “Elusive Nautilus” model can qualify for an award or a valuable trophy, or become part of a room design or a themed fitting devoted to an underwater trip. Besides, the model will beautify your aquarium and become a favorite element for its inhabitants.
- The submarine is powered by a spring mechanism that is activated by rotating the model’s bow. Controlling the mechanism involves pressing the finger to rotate the submarine’s propeller and initiate its descent into the ocean’s depths.
- The impression of functional mechanisms will satisfy your interest in the mechanics’ secrets and become a bright icon of attraction for your friends.
- Appropriate flat packaging made from sustainable, eco-friendly cardboard combines durability and the aesthetics of a status gift.
- The Elusive Nautilus model contests your design skills. The assembly process will create interest in the submarine fleet history, and the outcome will be your Metal Time collection’s pearl.

Shipping Policy
Fast Delivery! We ship via USPS, UPS, DHL, or FedEx because they're fast, reliable, and easy to track. We process orders within 24 hours, and delivery may take 4-7 working days, depending on your location. We'll email you the tracking info once we ship your order. We sell in USD.
Shipping Costs: For some products, such as heavy wheels and CNC machines, we calculate shipping costs by weight rather than quantity. To reduce shipping costs for orders with multiple items, please contact us before placing your order.
Tariff:Â To minimize or avoid tariffs, we ship from the country where the product is made, such as China, Italy, or Taiwan, Europe, etc. We're here to help you buy the hottest products affordably, with fast shipping and World-Class Customer Support. However, please review the tariff and other policies on this page carefully before making a purchase.
Ships From: On this product page, check the Ships From: label to see which country the product ships from. We do not ship all products from the USA (except for products made in the USA or in stock), and we ship some products from regions such as China, Taiwan, Canada, and Europe. Therefore, the tariff you pay depends on the country of origin, as not all countries charge the same rate. For example, suppose the US imposes a 30% tariff on goods imported from China; in contrast, other countries may impose a lower tariff, or even none at all, on goods shipped from China into their countries.
If applicable, you will pay the tariff in your country. The total amount of your order does not include a tariff, which you'll pay before the delivery. We will not issue a refund if you don't pay the tariff.
Tariff vs. Shipping Fee: Please don't confuse the shipping fee with the tariff, because they are two separate charges. You pay us a shipping fee for the carrier to deliver your order to your door. You pay the tariff to the customs office, a branch of your government, as an import tax.
Why aren't we adding tariffs to the product's retail price? If all countries imposed the same tariff amount and used the same currency, we would have added that tariff to the product's retail price. Our suppliers and we are not responsible for tariffs. Please shop accordingly.
Attention! We will email you the tracking number so you can follow your parcel. The shipping company will contact you by phone, text, or email to arrange payment of the tariff. However, as the customer, you are responsible for responding to their calls, texts, or emails. You can also use the tracking number link we emailed you to contact the shipping company and pay any applicable tariffs, if you haven't already.
Heads Up! We're not responsible if the shipping company returns your parcel to the country of origin due to the unpaid tariff or non-compliance with its requirements. As a result, you will be responsible for reshipping costs and applicable tariffs. We will not accept any excuses for failing to follow up with the shipping company regarding the tariff, and we will not issue a refund.
Please check your SPAM folder! To provide you with delivery information, we will add your email address to the shipping website so you are notified of delivery until your parcel reaches your shipping address. Please always check your spam folder to ensure you receive emails from OzRobotics.com, USPS, UPS, DHL, and FedEx. Please let us know if you don't want us to enter your email address on the shipping company website.
Return Policy
5 Hours: Mistakes happen when ordering, so you have 5 hours to request a refund for any reason, including if you don't want to pay the tariff. However, Stripe will not refund you their processing fee if you cancel your order.
All Sales Are Final: After 5 hours, we cannot cancel your order or issue a refund, as order cancellations incur multiple transaction processing fees from Stripe and PayPal, additional shipping fees, and reverse tariff payments, which are costly and time-consuming. For technical issues, we'll assist you in resolving problems and provide a replacement if you can prove that the product has a manufacturing defect.
Exchange Policy: We want you to be happy with your new purchase. However, once you have used the product, we cannot issue a refund. However, we will offer an exchange for a product with irreversible manufacturing defects or technical issues. If you purchased the wrong product, then you will be responsible for the re-shipping fees and tariffs. If the product you purchased is defective, email us ASAP with photos or a video of the faulty part so we can evaluate the issue before arranging a replacement.

Please note that we do not accept excuses; you will have to pay the re-shipping fee and the tariff for any re-shipment request. In such a case, we will not issue a refund.
