Sariel Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Here's a wee little project I've spent the last 12 months on. Yes, it's a 3+ meters long LEGO ship that floats (without a drop of glue), moves and recovers sunken submarines, occasionally ripping them apart in the process. There's really too much to describe here so allow me to present you with a video covering all the details: Quote
captainmib Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) And you finished ORP Orzel at the same time... Nice! No really, great boat, amazing build. The submarine looks fantastic. Edit: After watching the complete video: I admire your dedication and creativity every single build, but this thing is on another level. Functions are great, and getting it floating and modulair is an amazing feature. Well done! Edited October 18, 2020 by captainmib Quote
jrx Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Wow! Very impressive build and research. Some extra for entertaining all those dogs so well Quote
LvdH Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 This is the most impressive thing I've ever seen built with LEGO. Also loved the the backstory behind this ship. Quote
Good old Lego builder Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 There’s a ship with a story! Great build! Quote
Touc4nx Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 WoW, just wow that's insane ! And you call that "little project" Quote
2GodBDGlory Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 That is very impressive! The size is unbelievable, and it looks like it must have been very tedious to build. The audacity of both your project and the historic one are commendable. Quote
pluto7443 Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 I haven't been on here in years but saw the video on Youtube! This is an incredible project, well done Sariel! Quote
nerdsforprez Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 Your Lego career is filled with many outstanding projects. This indeed may top them all. The engineering is outstanding. I actually watched the whole video, which pretty much says it all. Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Brilliant little project. I'd never heard of the Glomar Explorer story before, that is cold war craziness at it's best. You did the story right with this model. Quote
MinusAndy Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 I really like how the mechanism for working the grab seems simple until you remember no motors under water and only two cables to the cradle. Clever and understated. Quote
trekman Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Very impressive build, but I think the significance of it all is only realised when you see the story behind it all. We do appreciate your dedication to such a project. Quote
