Bob De Quatre Posted April 6 My modern rebuild of #6175 Crystal Explorer Sub from the Aquazone theme. A beefed up version compared to the original. The inner space of the cockpit is so big, that I had space to fit 3 seats, and a hatch to acces the ocean through the middle section of the model. The storage are bigger, the arms longer. I also added lights! The rear cockpit opens to store a folded <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bobdequatre/52787619005">Underwater Scooter</a> Built for This month challenge on Brickpirate.net, for which we have to rebuild sets from either Aquazone, Rock Raiders or Island Xtreme Stunts #6175 Crystal Explorer Sub by BobDeQuatre, on Flickr #6175 Crystal Explorer Sub by BobDeQuatre, on Flickr #6175 Crystal Explorer Sub by BobDeQuatre, on Flickr #6175 Crystal Explorer Sub by BobDeQuatre, on Flickr #6175 Crystal Explorer Sub by BobDeQuatre, on Flickr #6175 Crystal Explorer Sub by BobDeQuatre, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevin8 Posted April 6 Wow! Wonderful! I love the yellow watch belt (I think) used to keep the lower canopy on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickshipyard Posted April 6 Finally a beautiful and fitting usage of that trans purple windscreen! Such a spacious cockpit with high playability = big thumbs up! I also agree with Kevin8 you found a perfect integration of those rubbery belts. Aquanauts hasn't looked this refreshing in years :). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krol Zmija Sebastian Posted April 6 It's bigger than I could of imagined, so - wonderful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyichir Posted April 6 Wow! Great redesign. I'd never considered that trans-purple windscreens like this could substitute for the classic trans-blue, but based on these photos it definitely seems to work. Very nice details here as well, I love the interior hatch in the cockpit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
