| | | I need help on the Submarine's screw. Propeller for the un-navy terms. It needs to be about 8-10 wide, and have 5-8 blades. :) THanks In advance. Rick (23 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | | (...) That'd be pretty cool-- I think the propellor would end up being something like 3 bricks tall/thick using that scheme? (I think each step/"blade" is what, 2 plates thick?) That might be just about right for such a large propeller... DaveE (23 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)

You can mount two back to back on an axle so they are only 1 deep. Problems with this are that you can only have 4 blades (...) (23 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | (...) Of premade parts, Larry's solution (the windmill fan) will probably look best. But if you're feeling adventurous, you might try to make one from a clutch of 3x3 plates with one round corner. I got a pretty good approximation of a ship screw (...)

| | | | | MegaBloks Boomer —Lindsay Frederick Braun
|
| | | | Hey Rick (and all)-- For that interior detail, I saw something very interesting this weekend at TRU: A MegaBloks cut-away model of a 'boomer! I don't know if it would be worth a look, as it's nowhere near minifig scale, but I found it sort of (...)
