The submarine is just about 3 1/2 feet long, 10 inches wide, and 13 inches tall.
It is not perfectly to scale compared to the actual Los Angeles class sub, but
it is well proportioned for standard minifigures, and especially the vertical
launch tubes.I have some pictures ready, and I hope to post them within the next
few days.
To answer Aaron's question, the engines are made from a regular 8x long Technic
axle with two tires and a simple circular black piece at the end with
translucent orange pieces to cover it. The rest of the engine is built around a
re-inforced cross section design that continues through the whole model, both
lengthwise and widthwise. It was the only way I could support the angles of the
plane and wing while leaving enough support for the huge aft section of the
plane. I will be sure to get some up close pictures on that and the rest of the
engine structure soon.
Thank you all for your comments, by the way, and I will be sure to get the
pictures up soon.
