[MOC] Inspection Submarine: The Humpback

[Sebeus I]

My latest creation;

...it's another submarine .

It's a small one, I do hope to build a really big submarine one day.

The observation dome on top, the printed transparent dish, came from some Star Wars set.

Lots of canopies to give the operator a complete view of the surroundings.

I hope you like it.

I'd put it on Ideas but who am I kidding, people are only interested in yellow submarines .

Excellent mini sub as usual, Sebeus, and nice to see you building them again. :D

I'm still trying to figure out how the 4x4 transparent dish with printing is attached to the rest of the sub though.  Does it just sort of sit there or what?

Aha! Asking the right questions.

As a matter of fact I was asking myself the same thing when I was building it.

The dish goes over those two studs and it seems that the tile with handle bar placed behind it provides enough friction to keep the dish in place.

Frankly I didn't expect this to work but I'm glad it did .

Another excellent Submarine MOC. The old style minifigure is pretty cool too, the newer hair piece kinda clashes

I like it! The attention to getting the shape just right is evident, and the solid blue color just...works, somehow. Looks like a research sub.

Do you still call them windscreens on underwater vehicles? Whatever you call them, I like their shape here. Very classy.
