Your fellow HISS Tanker kramer70 scratch built this custom Cobra Sea Serpent…
“Most the materials used is stuff you can find at a hardware store or Lowes or Home Depot. my parts list are as follows: big green PVC pipe that was cut, flower pots, trash can, pvc down spout catcher, parts from the cobra rattler, turret from vector jet, main gun from the corps tank, plastic sheets, foamboard, and other random kit bash fodder parts. The structure is about 4 1/2- 5 foot long and weighs about 15 pounds. As you can see the sub has many features including guns, missles, control room, torpedo room, engine room, turrets, opening hatches and doors, and a full custom made crew. the main side hatch that opens and closes to reveal the inside of the sub, was created using hinges and a magnet to keep it closed.”Click the Discuss button for all the pics & details.

This is one of my latest projects that I have been working on. Its a cobra submarine/ u boat. I always thought that Cobra needed a good navy to fight the g.i.joes USS Flagg. I have always wanted a g.i.joe scale submarine but never knew how to create one. I also wanted the submarine to have a classic world war 2 style u- boat feal to it. After watching the movie U-571 i knew exactly what i wanted. I even created the crew and designed them to look like old german sailors from that era mixed with a little cobra. After much planning and ideas i came up wth something simple, cheap, yet effective. I knew i wanted the sub to be long enough to look like a sub yet still small enough to fit in my collection.

Cobra Submarine Class 1: SEA SERPENT
It is equipped with Cobras most advanced weapon system to date. Several weapons including torpedos, scud missles, MARS sea to air missles, 50 cal machin gun, anti aircraft turrett, and a 20mm battleship gun. The ship is small enough to manuvre through the sea without being detected by g.i.joe. Its quick and heavy. The hull is made from 5 inch thick armor plated steel, and yet has the firepower to devistate any navy. It also has some of the most advanced naval technology around. Equipped with anti sonar technology and stealth plated cover that make the sub invisible to any one who comes upon her. She also has a full crew, specially picked from the ranks of cobra. These soldiers are vetrans in the Cobra navy and have served the cobra navy in several occupations including eels, hydro vipers, and sea slugs. They are some of the toughest, smart, and well trained personel for the job. That and when you put them all together in a 50 ton submarine armed with the greates weapons in the world, the g.i.joe navy should have something to worry about. The Capt. said it best " For the Sea Serpent it wil be like shooting fish in a barrell"
