User blog:Dreez2001/Lego PRAWN Mk.3 Suit

My PRAWN
So, I've been seeing many lego Subnautica projects floating around on the internet, and in this wiki alone. One that I see and feel many can't get right is the Pressure Re-Active Waterproof Nanosuit, or PRAWN suit, for short. Some build it out of scale, some build it with only a handful of scrap parts. I aim to make mine minifigure scale, and with the most ingame aspects that I can fill it with. For more on what I want my model to have, see below.

Inspiration
So, this is a little weird. Of course the main inspiration was Subnautica, but I never intended to build one. Then a dream came one night, showing me ideas for the main body, a few arms, and other things, kinda like that one scene from the Lego Movie. That day, I went to school, the usual, but the ideas for it came back. Then I decided to put the ideas to work, with some miscolored parts. I realised that I could do this properly, and such, I started the project.



Features (Hopefully)
-2 of each arm type for each side

-Working grappling arm with string -Modification compartment

-Removable power cells

-Accurate articulation -Minifigure scale

-Player character minifig

-Openable main hatch

-(small) storage hatch

Life happens, and I need to move. My lego is going into storage for a few years, but I might be able to go to the storage unit to continue actual model.

August 29, 2017

After a month of inactivity, I got a huge burst of inspiration on how to do a few arms, but again, my lego is in storage.

August 30, 2017

I discovered Lego Digital Designer, and started building using the inspiration from the previous day, and my earlier model.

​Waiting for next trip to the storage unit to get some designs for the PRAWN, so I tested some colors on the digital PRAWN.

September 9, 2017

I moved and I just got my PC running, so I decided to celebrate by uploading some pictures of my original prototype that I started before discovering LDD.

​September 19, 2017

​I was determined to get something uploaded soon, as I have about 70 different tasks to do with school, home renovations, and Vancouver Fan Expo coming up. I put in a diver figure for scale, and built grapple arms and propulsion cannon arms.
