Clash of the Aquanauts - an early stage project thread for BLAM 2011

I would suggest at least a ventral and dorsal "fin" to provide some protection for the screw and enforce the "longitudinal sleekness" if viewed from the side.

Totally agree and I did intend to do it but I couldn't be bothered last night

I agree
Do you know what is even more annoying, is that he probably done the scetch quicker than the time it took you to write this post

Yeah, that is annoying.

Andy's design looks like 'USS Kaleidoscope' and Dewies like 'USS Stokes bomb'

[Dewbakuk]

Well, looks like I might be able to field a squadron of these. Managed to interest a friend of mine in the concept and he wants to make it so it can be cast in resin. Possibly with clear domes so a figure could be put in. After which it could be made available.

That's a great idea - I think you could use some lying MG crewman, e.g. Copplestone or Renegade as a pilot.

Just a little thing for my bit of this project.



Can you guess what it is?

[Blackwolf]

It's going to be a squid based submersible?

[Ray Rivers]

Not a clue. 

But I have a feeling in due time all will be revealed.   

[Captain Blood]

Is it a Zeppelin larva? 

[Sinewgrab]

How did I miss this thread? My gods, this stuff is gorgeous and inspiring as all hell!

Hmm, how can I make Free Norway build a submarine force...hmm.

[Andym]

Just thought I'd let everybody involved in this that I haven't let my end up. My part will still be ready for BLAM.

Gamer macs got the boards ready for painting and I've got a lot of the terrain at the same stage.



The base is still under construction. I made a design for the windows and blu tac'd them in place to see what you all think. I've also started on the interior of the moon pool with pipes and valves and stuff....







I hope this all looks ok.....

[Malamute]

Looks ok to me

[cdm]

And me! Very inspirational.

[Admiral Benbow]

Great stuff! Can't wait to see all this coming together ...
 

[Dr DeAth]

It's far, far better than OK
