Building A submarine...

[Stauder]

Im builidng a minifig scale submarineion LDD. My firt comparntment (Im plaing on making it combinable in different ways so 10-12 compartments are planned) is almost done crew quaters, Im wondering has anyone ever done something similar?

UPDATE! Command daect + Connign tower redy! But I cant seem to upload the model to the gallery at Lego.com

Ps- its 12 studs wide at the base... *sweet*

[Stauder]

Aye thats my problem it keeps giving me an error when i try to upload to lego's gallery...

[Stauder]

-12 suds wide

-10 compartments long (Soon to be so far only 2 as seen)

-I put the model's LDD 2.0 file up for download

I resized you picture and uploaded it to my own Brickshelf. There's a tutorial on how to resize your pictures here. If you've resized your picture, you can change the link back to your own Brickshelf :-)

Looks good, but I'd try to smoothen it out a bit more. It looks a bit too high for a submarine (or not long enough).

[Stauder]

Yes, I have completed the front and two more compartmens are to be added.

Its a nice concept, the modularity part so different people can add sections.

The only flaw with this for me though; is that I only build in LDD as a way of organizing bricks for purchase. And something like a submarine is most definetly going to be too expensive for me to afford.

Just look at some of the skyscrapers people make in LDD... very pretty but realistically will they ever be purchased and built?

[Stauder]

Yes true, but its still fun to design and Im sure SOMONE will eventully at leat consider downlaoding and buying.

I like how it's coming so far! For the front torpedo room, I would try to find pictures of real subs' interiors. One thing that may be important is if you want this to be playable with moving parts or just a display model. If you want moving parts, the torpedo tubes will be infinitely more complicated.

If it's really good, someone might just shell out for it. I would see if there is interest, then maybe buy one and sell on ebay. I remember someone MOC'd a Republic Gunship and sold it for something like $700 on eBay, but I'm too lazy to grab the link. :-P
