Aquazone builds

[sander1992]

Hi everyone,

I've been building the past few weeks.
For Skaerbaek (event in Denmark) I want to have a small landscape inspired by the catalogs.

I've build a Shark Scout.

The first module for the landscape is finished as well.
I wanted to create the rocks from the catalogs.

This module can be taken apart in smaller modules for transport. 
Feedback is appreciated.

I had 3 of those little aquashark scooter sets so very recognizable, the blue rockwork looks great, especially since the lines go vertical on the cliff it looks like the texture from the catalog pictures.

That is a cute update to the old set. I have fond memories of playing with my set as a child. 

Also, that rockwork is a great piece to display from, the two blue shades really give the impression of a deep ocean.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you both!

I have finished my Aquashark.
The model should have something of the big shark from 1996.

I want to bring the Aquazone layout to Skaerbaek (event in Denmark).
On Saturday is a dark hour.
I have added light to the shark and hopefully I am present during the dark hour to turn them on. 

Feedback is appreciated.

Finally, my landscape is completed.

It took some time. 
I was a bit struggling with the Aquanaut Submarine.
And giving the subs a place in the landscape was a challenge as well.

For more pictures, look into my Flickr album.

The landscape was shown at LOWLUG XL last month. 
At the end of this month it will be present at Skaerbaek Fanweekend.

It was a hectic month.

One build for Comic Con was not finished.
The warmth and hayfever causing a decrease in productivity.

And there was Aquajune.

The last day of the month, but I have finished my Sea Scorpion.

I hope to post more pictures soon.

Really great Aquazone builds!

The Aquashark is amazing and of course that dio is excellent!   There's got to be a cost effective way to get the "true" hexagon rocks from the catalogue pictures, but your use of slopes in those landscapes works very well.

Thanks!

I was not aware the rocks were hexagons. 

I can say that blue slopes, bricks and plates are not expensive and easy to get.
There are more plans for this theme, but not in the coming months.

In most builds and settings, I'm not enamored with the ultra-smooth, only-slopes-and-curved-slopes-showing terrain. But for Aquazone, it matches the catalog backgrounds! And dark blue wasn't even a color back then, so it wouldn't make sense in the main submarine builds... But in the terrain, it looks very good!

Thanks!
