I see a bunch of wood blocks or parts of the boat on the stern planes, but nothing resembling a bottle. Also note the dumpster placed on the hull. $20 says it ended up at the bottom of the drydock the slightly humorous yet extremely dangerous way.

That's just the bow of the sucker?? Very cool indeed.

Yes, one of the first things that popped into my mind when I saw it.

This is the whole thing.

Cool sub...

Indeed, very cool sub. Question: can it fire officers out of the tubes, or just the usual assortment of weaponry?

[edit] Wonder if she's been modded into DW yet? Would love to drive that one.

Coming soon in LWAMI V3.10

... at least I think it will be... ML might have forgotten to add it in... I got to go send an email...

...and before you ask it is not playable. Sorry...

krashkart · 05-15-10, 09:47 PM

I recall there being some issues in making non-playables playable. However, it is cool that someone got a start on that submarine already. Might be about time to reinstall the old beast (DW) and see what new stuff I can add to her. Thanks for the heads-up, TLAM.

If you look in my profile you will see several albums of the 3d models I've made for DW.
