Hey folks,

To celebrate the theme month, I made some Sea-related MOCs! I remember that when I was a kid the only thing that bothered me about Aquanauts was the concept of staying under water all the time - their base and submarines just did not add up as a very comfortable way of living. So I made a quick shore base that is supposed to represent a place where the hydrolator crystals can be purified (in order to be able to stay under water longer) and small repairs and training can be done.

The second one is a small surveillance submarine that's supposed to watch out for Aquasharks. It has a big sonar, a gripper arm for self-defense and a crawler-track for slow but silent movement.

The third MOC is a small deep sea submarine with an Aquanaut specially equipped for the higher pressures. This ugly little thing is supposed to do heavy duty in ocean abysses and has a pressure hatch for crystals instead of the usual box.

I tried to stay within the design of the Aquanauts line but I'm afraid I've lost some pieces over the years - anyway, hope you enjoy! Comments and criticism appreciated!

Great idea, having a shore base for an underwater theme. Very original and logical.

You made it look like a classic set too, with the colour scheme, blockiness, raised baseplate etc. .

Overall, I really like it. Looking forward to your other sea-MOCs.

Wow this is incredible, very good job. You captured the style perfectly!

Thank you both very much! I'ts rather hard actually to capture TLG-style sometimes - this time it apparantly went well

it looked great
