Tracytron Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) I've been looking around on the internet to find a Motorised Lego Military Submarine MOC with instructions but I couldn't even find one without instructions that was motorised. I found another forums sight (I don't remember what it was called) and in a thread another person was building one too. As far as his progress had got it was just the side thrusters lol but thanks to him I've got a design for those side thrusters. I also found this guys YouTube channel a while back https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU9XPp9OXEoUX6vyoDn1QlQ who has made some INCREDIBLE ACTUALLY FLOATING boat MOCs and hes even sunken them all in his pool LMAO but in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx22w1cli-E he explains how he does it. And also I found another website http://www.rc-sub.com/resources/index.php5 about RC Submarines and it listed lots of different diving systems each with their pros and cons unfortunately, but I've decided which diving method to use for it, which is the RCABS (Recirculating Compressed Air Ballast System) more specifically the RCABS-R (No clue what the "R" stands for. "Resurfacing"?; "Auto Resurfacing"? No clue) so I've covered 3/5 of the mechanical side of the commission (The other parts being the "Dive Wings" and linking it all up lol) so whoever I end up commissioning only has to do the shell and the other 2/5 of the mechanical side. Also other aspects of MOCing I'm looking for in whoever I commission is shaping, 3D modelling (For waterproof seals wherever necessary), interiors and in making instructions for models. So do any of you have any suggestions on who I could commission to make it? Thanks in advance. Also I AM aware that it will require at least 2 or 3 Non-Lego parts, that being the Valves and/or the One-way Air Pump and Ballast Bladder. Edited November 11, 2016 by Tracytron Quote

How long would they last before they go rusty inside. Or are they waterproof already? It's pretty cool though. Quote
