MOC: LEGO Mini Fig Scale Worl War 2 German Schnellboot

[nebraska]

Here is a Lego Minifig scale German World War 2 S-6 Schnellboot. Just need to add a few more details to 'Schnellboot in Action!' but thought I'd post a few pictures. Need to add the crew, lifelites, and a few interior details. The whole hull is present including the 3 props and rudders (I'll try to upload those pictures to flickr tonight or tomorrow). I also noticed a few other details have changed since I took those photos; a black round tile is now in the tube giving it the impression that it's dark and long. I also have changed the 'hinges' of the torpedo tubes to all white. I'll get some more pics posted soon..

Holy moly, I can't believe I missed this Looks beautiful! Is it coming to Brickworld?

I noticed some more pics on Flickr; are you going to update this?

[Capt. Stabbin]

Man, this is a beautiful model!!! I just love how you did the water. The missiles and the splash, I really looks nice. You should post more pics for me to drool over!

WHY does this not have a dozen comments by now? This is magnificent. The detail of the water is crazy.

Sorry guys I didn't see anyone had responded. Yes this is coming to Brickworld 2012 - Chicago as "Schnellboot in Action!"

Thanks for everyone's kind words and here is some newer shots of just the boat. I don't have any new ones 'in the water' as it's a bit of a pain for clean up :). The hull interior wasn't going to work. I had to use some rubber bands to help hold the cigar shape hull together which really got in the way of my interior. Plus the access holes on the deck were going to hurt the boat structurally. The control room is complete though but doesn't photograph well.

This is spectacular I really like your torpedo tubes and the rails on the ship, and the hull, and the water (I use that technique myself quite a bit), and...... I guess I just like it all

Looking forward to more pictures

Beautiful. I agree with soccerkid said. Fantastic ship. What's not to like?

WOW stunning model! I also love how you made the water. Wish I was going to BrickWorld so I could get an up close view!
