![]() ![]() If someone farts in a sub would all hands be stuck smelling it for weeks? While you’re mulling that over check out some other fabulous creations by Ciamosław Ciamek in our archives. As stunned as I am by this amazingly detailed creation, I have a burning question that perhaps some of you can answer. I’ve been in the US Navy myself and while I have served on three surface ships, I’ve never been on a submarine. I like that a seagull has decided to hitch a ride. Here we see some of the crew manning the guns and getting what is undoubtedly some much-needed air. U-Boot expects to be configured for a certain. Thankfully this builder has also provided several closeup photographs, this particular one is amidships and the superstructure. Upon extracting the U-Boot sources from the LEGO project repository, we needed to configure the sources. The model is of such a grand scale that it can be easy to lose sight of small details from afar. Lastly, we have the diesel engines room and electric engines, and the aft torpedo room. Next, we have the control room with the conning tower, then the petty officers’ quarters. The first module represents the forward torpedo room and crew compartment while the second houses the officers’ quarters, radio, and listening room. This photo highlights what the port side looks like with the hull intact but it also illustrates the model broken into six modules that accurately represent how the real vessel would be compartmentalized. Here’s a view with the port panels removed to view the interior spaces. The hull panels can be removed on both the port and starboard sides. In case you were wondering this is the same type of U-Boat from the Das Boot movie, which, in my opinion, is one of the tensest and most exhilarating movies ever made a worthy watch if you haven’t seen it already. It also took staggering four-and-a-half years to build. This model has roughly 15,000 pieces and is about 70 inches or 177 centimeters long. ![]() That would be the case with this stunning LEGO 1/38 scale U-BOOT TYP VII C built by Ciamosław Ciamek. No other boat sank more warships during the First World War.Sometimes something comes along that has us simply awestruck. U9 undertook a total of seven combat cruises and sank five warships with 44,173 tons and 13 merchant ships with 8,636 GRT. Apart from U9, only the small cruiser SMS Emden received this honor during the WW1. After that the boat U9 was allowed to carry an Iron Cross The U9 was commissioned as the first ship in its class in July 1908 and launched in February 1910.On September 22nd, 1914 U9 sank the three British armored cruisers HMS Aboukir, HMS Hogue and HMSĬressy one after the other and on October 15th the British armored cruiser HMS Hawke under the command of Kapitänleutnant Otto Weddigen. With these U9 can speed up to 14.2 knots above water and 8.1 knots under water.Īrmament consisted of six torpedoes that could be fired through two bow and two stern tubes. It was powered by 1000 HP petroleum motors on the surface and by 1160 HP electric motors while submerged. LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 is a toy robot produced by the LEGO Group. ![]() It could dive to a maximum of 50 m in about The double hulled U-Boat was 57.38 m long, 6.00 m wide, had a draft of 3.13 m and a displacement of 493 tons above and 611 tons under water. SM U9 (Seiner Majestät U-Boot) was a petroleum-electric submarine of the German Imperial Navy of WW1.
