MOC: Underwater Mining Vehicle

[KotZ]

Deep beneath the ocean, powerful crystals have been found and a select team of divers and geologists have been sent to harvest these crystals in their underwater vehicles. The Underwater Mining Vehicle (UMV) has been assigned to Spin and Sam, but what dangers are waiting for them?

I'm not too good with vehicles, and I had some old cockpit panes that I wanted to experiment with so I decided to build a vehicle to mine crystals with these pieces. I wanted something that looked like it could be an actual set released by LEGO, almost a cross between Rock Raiders and Aquaraiders and the various diving themes, hence the intro, playable feel to the UMV, extra rock and shark, as well as the bright yellow color scheme.

The entire "set"

The UMV

Our driver Spin

Just a normal rock?

Look kids! A crystal that you can find!

Diver Sam with his trusty harpoon

One of the many dangers in the ocean, put on clear bricks to give the illusion of floating

The whole set lined up

Enjoy! Comments and criticism welcome, especially since vehicles are extremely difficult for me to build and action themes are somewhat foreign to me.

Amazing MOC ...the UMV looks beautiful ant the floating effect of the shark is totally cool! ;-)

I like it! Really like the shape and feel of the UMV ( color looks good too)! The only thing I'd add would be gear or a crystal in the storage area.

Thanks guys! I admit, after I had posted the topic I thought about adding another crystal or gear in the back.
