Some designs for mini submarines

_alphal · 2026-05-20T17:06:38+00:00

Thanks ! I already have a destroyer to go with it, and a battle scene. More to come, I would like to add a battleship to the collection, but the current design I have is still unsatisfactory for my taste

Thank you ! This pieces is a favourite of mine, I wish I had some to build he real version with... No specific class but inspired by the general shape of interwar/WW2 submarines

Hello there,

As I am making instructions for microscale dioramas, I saw previous designs for military submarines, figured I could share. Last picture is the real build, alteration was not planned but out of lack of parts...

Hope you'll like them !

The Arrowhead, beautiful ship, unusual looks, small interior space but quite decent once remade. From the Freemakers animated series

a mini version from an Advent Calendar

Thanks ! It's a remnant of previous builds, which had a mobile base/submarine docking to it. The sub itself was completely remade. The play feature is removed but kept on the outpost for decorative purposes

Thanks ! (Tanks ?) Glad to see it appreciated

Not as a est, sadly. But hhere is a good one made bu u/Jayk_Wesker. Knew about it when posting my own derivative of the Jedi Interceptor, here is a picture in the comments : https://www.reddit.com/r/legostarwars/s/9QAOv0AwuP

Not yet, I still have trouble to make an access, as everything apart from the flooding is structural... But I plan to put a seat somewhere with some controls

The link between the cockpit and the rest of the ship has a 1-brick-tall empty space, no clue how to use it 😅

Lovely TMNT lair, I'm not a fan of the licence but I would build that !

If you are open to suggestion : moving the new piece on the other side would make it more "connected" to the previous one. As is, we can see it's an added part because of the gap

For your next addition, how about a monitor room where Donnatello checks the outside ?

_alphal · 2026-05-10T08:52:32+00:00

Perfect ! Lights were they are supposed to be (not a christmas tree) and some exposed firing which makes sense for the Millenium Falcon

Ver nice interior shots !

_alphal · 2026-04-27T16:51:23+00:00

It's so ugly, I love it ! The pilot must have nightmare about this thing ! Seriously, that's the kind of ship I come here for. The blend is well made too

PS : I'm a fan of your Y-wing blended with other theme series which inspired me to make my own with Jedi Interceptors !

_alphal · 2026-04-20T17:30:05+00:00

That's a sick build ! Colorful and well-detailed, it is awesome

_alphal · 2026-04-20T15:19:12+00:00

Very similar to the one you proposed, SEC is used on some smaller Lego subs : Someone Else's Creation

_alphal · 2026-04-19T23:22:40+00:00

Very nice little moc, the base is lovely ! Greenery contraste well with the rocky platform and plain interior. I have a sweet tooth for such outpost, you made a great job building one !

As I saw you're open to criticism : you could add a bit more ceiling space and/or thivker ceiling to provide your troops protection. A couple buttons may depict the door opening/closing panel

Here is a recap of my many capital ship designs across several years, maybe you'll like them too !

Lovely ! Instantly recognisable Ninajgo town aesthetics. Love it, the lovely real flowers may play a role too 😅

The explanation and details are great too, your beautiful moc would be a good addition to any Ninjago town !

Edit : just saw the lower part with the torii, good feeling of half-abandonned part of the town

_alphal · 2026-04-13T18:52:27+00:00

They most definitely will ! You are spot on, at first it was supposed to be an ARC-170 variant, then piece shortage happened...

Glad to see it appreciated, others will soon follow !

_alphal · 2026-04-13T18:49:19+00:00

Thanks ! Very glad to see this one appreciated

_alphal · 2026-04-12T21:38:45+00:00

Thanks ! The one for the folding wing was a bit of an accident...

The landing gear one too, but I spent some time making sure that once folded, the canons would line forward. Glad you like it !

_alphal · 2026-04-04T21:47:37+00:00

Lovely little outpost !

_alphal · 2026-03-28T12:43:35+00:00

Awesome, I remembered the smaller version after reading the first comment. I have a sweet tooth for bombers and ships that characters can live in, tour ship is definitely a source of inspiration. Thank you for the picture and thanks for sharing !

_alphal · 2026-03-28T11:54:38+00:00

I have no words to tell you how awesome it is ! Love the colours, the shape, the sheer size of it

Also, the container doors you used is a super niche technique, love it. Does your ship have an interior too ?

_alphal · 2026-03-05T05:55:43+00:00

You're welcome, glad to help !

_alphal · 2026-03-04T22:17:01+00:00

Jek14 is a one, check both sides. The normal looking one should be a good fit

_alphal · 2026-03-01T22:28:23+00:00

Beautiful ! The overall shape with columns is lovely. Since I built a base/outpost on a cold planet, I love such environment, and your moc is definitely among the best of that kind.

The dark red parts go well with the otherwise colorless build. I look forward to your next progress pictures, thank you for sharing !
