Would you like to build a mini version of LEGO Aqua Raiders 7775 Aquabase Invasion? Then here is a list of all the pieces you need to build the underwater base!
Aqua Raiders launched in 2007 and was part of the LEGO Group’s strategy of offering ‘in and out’ themes, which would last for a year or two before making way for something fresh. This underwater epic pitted treasure hunters against giant creatures in the deep sea. The largest set in the theme was the base for the undersea warriors – 7775 Aquabase Invasion.
The base is bristling with weaponry, including a rotating turret and two harpoon gatling guns. This mini build captures those weapons systems at a reduced scale. The base also has two sections, one for the main control centre and another that serves as a landing pad for submarines. Its final distinctive feature is a chute for an escape submarine in the front. All of these details appear in this small, desk-sized version.
The instructions for building the model are in Blocks, the monthly LEGO magazine, Issue 124. You can buy the magazine here. If you subscribe to Blocks, you’ll get at least three new sets of LEGO build instructions in every monthly edition!
Blocks, the monthly LEGO magazine, provides exclusive instructions for models you won’t find anywhere else. You can follow the instructions closely and build the exact model shown, or take them as inspiration to build something similar but unique. Either way, these builds are a great way to learn techniques and upgrade your LEGO building skills.
