Aquacave MOC

[jedikermit]

So I'm a big DC Comics nerd, and my boys and I got a little too into the Aquaman DVDs that came out a few months back. 1960's Filmation cartoons. Good stuff. Sort of. Anyway, in the series, Aquaman has an Aquacave (he has off and on in the comic books, too) kind of like Batman's Batcave. Only lamer. Of course.

With the crapload of LEGO I inherited this week, I figured I'd put some of it to use this morning and make my version of the Aquacave...it's definitely a work in progress, but any suggestions, praise or condemnation are welcome.

Overview of the whole cave:

One of the things I realized is that because it's all underwater and Aquaman, Aqualad and Mera can breathe underwater, and they can swim all around everything, there was no need for ladders or steps or anything. Convenient!

Aquaman in his Armory:

Mera (Aquaman's girlfriend and later wife) at an ancient Atlantean compass:

Aqualad at the computer station:

Black Manta's invasion:

Can Aquaman stop Manta in time?

The villainous fiend!

Thanks guys--the cartoon version is very yellow-and-blue, so I tried to stick to that as much as possible. I want to make some kind of bay for an Aquasub or scooter or something, but I haven't built the vehicle yet, so I'll have to wait and see how that fits into everything.

Never heard of the cartoon, but it looks real nice.

Thanks--I've got to make some changes to make it less like the Batcave besides just the brighter colors. I dunno. Maybe it'll be a Christmas Break project.

Ah, another one of us...

Anyway, nice MOC. I've never actually seen the cartoon, but I know of the Aquacave (through the comics), and this successfully conveys an Aquaman-ish vibe. Of course, he uses Atlantis as a base now (well, he doesn't, he's dead), but never mind about that right now.

Nice Black Manta too. *y*
