[Sebeus I]

A third submarine has been added, a red one this time

More pictures later, this one goes by the name 'Swordfish', I built it in the middle of the night a couple of weeks ago .

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.

More pictures in my brickshelf gallery.

(I also updated the first post).

I was absolutely thrilled to see these posted! You have done a fantastic job. I really like all three! What were the windows from on the Leviathan?

I really miss the Aquazone Theme.

Thanks for posting these!

Thank you, I got the porthole panels from the 1997 divers theme, one of my favourites at the time.

I got most of them from this set.

They also excist in white and old grey I believe.

Very good submarines. And colorfull too!

(I wonder what people would say if somebody used yellow extensively on e.g. pirate ships... )

The underwater effect has turned out well too, amazing to see all the red color disappear.

The "swordfish" reminds me of Tintin adventures.
