I am one of the worst u-boat fanatics to ever exist but I can't find any lego u-boat or instructions for one. so if it is not too much trouble would you post some instructions for your boat, as well as a parts list with the colors for the parts. I'd be indebted to you.

Hello! I would love to make instructions for my type viic U-Boat and use the LDD program to design instructions it so everyone can see...except I have no patience and would rather start putting bricks together. As far as the colors; the exterior is the dark blue/light blue gray tiles. If you are building an interior; it's pretty straight forward and I have many pictures on my flickr or mocpages accounts that show fairly good details.

The good news is there is another....

I'm currently working on a type IXC U-Boat; the U-505 which is currently on display at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. I'm dedicating myself to doing a better job of documenting the building process and have a little lesson in curved hull building on my mocpages account under the WIP of the U-505. It will be a fully enclosed hull and not a cutaway but will have the mindstorms motors powering the propellers, dive planes, periscopes, torpedo doors, etc. Expect to see the U-595 and U-505 at Brickworld 2013 (but not the dock unless I buy a cargo van or a trailer).

No problem. Just follow my posts on mocpages and you'll get the idea. Expect to order tons of tiles, 1x and 2x plates, 14 and 10 stud long technic bricks, along with # 3,4,5 technic connectors. I probably won't have an update until late June..
