I like how the thrusters work -- simple yet elegant. I wonder what the ducks would think about this if it was placed in that pond in your local park! What waterproof camera housing was used for the underwater shots?

It was HERO GoPro3 in its standard housing.

I like the details and minifigs that you use -- is that guy leaning over the railing because he's seasick?

[Sariel]

Could be. Or he's checking if the guys working on the engine behind him got the propellers going :)

Fabulous! The sort of thing I always wanted to do with my lego as a child but the bits and peices were not available. As a child I would experiment making a lego boat with empty bubble bath bottles. Where do the flashing lights come from? I could do with some. At the moment I'm building a remote vehicle, my first so far.

Keep up the good building.

That way the signal to the remote is "clean"

I like this it's nice to see something different every now and then. What parts are used for the buoyancy.. i.e. the blue pontoons?

[Boxerlego]

This is neat! The battery box is almost unnoticeable here. The minifigs scene adds the right touch to the floating crane.

Those blue Lego Boat hulls are the 57789c01 "Boat Hull Unitary 74 x 18 x 7 Complete Assembly with Light Bluish Gray Top" parts:
