Boo Yah!
So as you can probably tell, my sub has now grown larger than my current MOC picture area. heck, it's almost as long as my entire dresser. Sure, it's narrow, but still...
I got my last parts order in. Or well, the last one for now; I'm expecting a few more bricks to come in that could be added to this. It's about 98% complete; my last blink order was missing all the inverted slopes I paid for... and that was at least $2, so I'm expecting replacement bricks to show up or I leave negative feedback. I ordered extra in another order, so now my sub's only missing a few, but still, they're a necessity.
I may tweak the design a bit between now and BrickFair. I'll come out right now and say it; I don't like the section between the front bridge and the big sphere in the middle. It's too... boring when compared to the rest of the sub. However, the whole functionality of the hinge doors opening calls for such blandness. And the hinge doors work wonderfully; I've got magnet connectors inside so that the sub can store up to 3 trans orange boxes with crystals in it. So if I want to spice up the middle design with windows and such (you can see that I've already tried) then I might have to lose on the hinge doors function. So is it a good compromise? Time will tell.
Also, the extra vehicle underneath the large dome will need work. What I currently have is small and simple, but it leaves a lot of space underneath it that is otherwise inaccessible. So larger vehicles / mechs are still possible ideas.
Otherwise, I am satisfied with the sub's outcome. Although it's built in sections, in connects very well, with only a few troubled areas in the middle (where there's the most stress on it, I believe). Now the question is... what next? Perhaps I should build an Aqua Sharks sub to rival this one. (Seriously, something that's black, blue, and trans orange, with more fins and weapons, but also perhaps only half as long. Eh, it's an idea for the future.)
Anyway, at some point soon, I'll try to take more detailed pictures of it, maybe even post it in a topic. ( 
) There's a lot of detail to be seen, and I wanna show it off.
