Nope.
Scratchbuilding a Nautilus because you like the movie is paying homage to the creator of it. Buying a Nautilus model and copying it, even if it's just for you, is theft, plain and simple. If you need two Nautili, buy them.
Besides the fact, copies usually suck anyway. I imagine you'd be pissed if you bought those Blue Star drums and then found out that they were crappy copies of a good product.
On a different note, if you want a uboot like FPV, I'll send you copies from the GoPro strapped to my Lab.
Plenty of underwater hijinks, usually ending with a stick.
