November 14, 20168 yr Whoa, that ship is huge! Lots of detail throughout too. I love the squid sub, looks the part perfectly. The shuttle kind of reminds me of the manta ship from Ep 1 of Star Wars, but smaller and better.
November 16, 20168 yr Author the last bonus pics... The fisrt alien submarine with the shark in an Atlantis set, no need to judge it and the second is much more a modification of an existing set than a MOC, and is not to be judged too. the wreck is an old LL 928. Here I just turn the fish into a submarine by removing only few pieces, and replace it by a seat, a computer and a bubble canopy to close the new cockpit and I stick a water gun on the right and a torpedo launcher on the other side. this time, the subject is closed Edited November 16, 20168 yr by Professor Thaum
