Very interesting, but this will NOT be approved for Lego Ideas, as it is a military submarine, from WW2 Germany.

Love the periscope with the printed tile.

Great job! Love all the functionality inside, funny torpedo mechanism  . Putting it on the childish Lego Ideas website won´t help much, rather share it here on EB for discussion and to get the deserved attention .

The Milch Cow (milk cow) was a supply submarine to extend the endurance of the u-boat fleet already at sea. the submarine carried food, fuel, water and ammo, I believe 3500 tonnes of it.

Good work.  That periscope would be a bit spooky to the enemy. 

It may not meet Ideas acceptable content guidelines to get to the voting stage.

the torpedos and launch system is great....nice use of pneumatics as well.

Does it fly float?  Jokes aside, I find this creation quite cool - we don't see u-boats that often. I wish torpedos would actual shoot using some spring loaded mechanism.

Oh, and that bent 16L link

Amazing build!

 

Only thing i would improve myself is to try and give the periscope a bit more raise, now it barely clear the con-tower.

Nice cool, it's nice to see a more out of the box type build.

About 3 years ago I went to a tour of a U-Boat, the famous u-505, and it was a sight to see.

[omardib21]

thanks for all of your comments!!

zux it could float if i take of the electric and put a water snake and fit inside the submarine, that would be cool but i dont have pools here to test and i dont have beach here in são paulo :/

vectormatic thanks!!! the problem is that my pneumatic dont have a bigger arm and i cant give it more movement :/

JJ2!!!!!! what a nice pic!!!!! i love these submarines, really the uboats are very special, they was in front of their time into their era

Thanks again to all of you!!!
