Sebeus I Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Update 28/06/2014: third submarine coming up (surfacing ). Two exploration submarines, The yellow one is named Leviathan and the blue one goes by the name Mantis. The Swordfish, a reconnaissance submarine: I created the underwater effect by placing a transparent blue panel in front of the lens . The top of the submarine is detachable to reveal the interior, not that there is much interior, just enough room to fit a minifigure. I hope to inspire atleast someone to join me in my quest to get the Aquazone back up and running . We need more submarines and underwater bases. More pictures can be found at my brickshelf Gallery: Leviathan Mantis Swordfish Edited June 28, 2014 by Sebeus I Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted February 2, 2014 Such a classic design, similar-looking yet unique. I like the details on the blue one especially . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted February 2, 2014 Great submarines! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLazyChicken Posted February 2, 2014 Brilliant work! I like all the detail you have incorporated, keep up the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godtshep Posted February 2, 2014 Nice models! I see your stickers from the Cement Mixer set are starting to peel too Perhaps next you could make the Shark Submarine from TinTin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WaysofSorting Posted February 2, 2014 Snappy and clean. Elegant and classic design with lots of well-thought features and details. The interior on the blue one is especially nice. Is that a custom decal, or some 1x4 printed brick I have not seen? I really like the toothed axel cap on the clear 1x1 stud piece for the scope, and I always enjoy a turntable without the turning piece. Whatever that technique is called.

Dayton Posted February 2, 2014 I like how you used the blue concrete mixers. There are very few people who have used them in a good way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebeus I Posted February 2, 2014 Nice models! I see your stickers from the Cement Mixer set are starting to peel too Perhaps next you could make the Shark Submarine from TinTin? Thanks, it is on my mind but for the moment I find it extremely difficult to make a minifigure scale version. I did make a shark submarine based on that one though. But as you can see it lacks a canopy (it does have room for a minifigure). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Montante Posted February 3, 2014 Very nice subs. I always love the Aquazone. I would love a return of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcp6d Posted February 3, 2014 Both of these subs are great! They look like they could be scouring Earth's oceans right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Csacsa234 Posted February 5, 2014 Great submarines, It's good to see someone is still making MOC's for a classic theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orange Leader Posted February 15, 2014 I really like how you did the arms for the Leviathan and using the Divers theme windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legoman123 Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) I do love these submarines. I feel this is something that Lego does not make enough of. Edited March 3, 2014 by Legoman123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laura Beinbrech Posted March 3, 2014 I really like the blue one! I've been thinking lately about how to make some midget subs for patrol/coastal defense in my setting (as well as some pirate mini-subs), and that one has got me thinking again.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc_Brown Posted March 6, 2014 I'm a big fan of submarines! These are awesome, so cute and detailed, with great functions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godtshep Posted March 9, 2014 Thanks, it is on my mind but for the moment I find it extremely difficult to make a minifigure scale version. I did make a shark submarine based on that one though. But as you can see it lacks a canopy (it does have room for a minifigure). Cool submarine! I love how it looks small at first, but can still fit a minifig. If you need more ideas, perhaps you could do a MOD on the Penguin's sub from the Batman line? I mean the 08 version, not the other one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
