Hey all! I wanted to take a short break from the Anaconda(because hull construction can be kinda boring)and work on another member of the flotilla.
I wanted to do several variants of the Water Moccasin because it is one of my favorite 'joe vehicles and because variants are a staple of the real military. So I decided I needed a Moc' to fill a defender role, with a missile system. I was originally going to do a dual launcher like the Wolverine had but decided it was too much. So I just built a big TOW missile battery instead. The TOW needed a blast deflector to protect the fan from rocket plume and a shield to protect the driver from getting his scalp sizzled off by a leaving missile. I wanted it to be asymmetrical, so I decided to add a gun to the turret. After studying up on guns I decided to build one of the modern equivalents to the venerable Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun. It is basically something to shoot down low-flying helicopters that are a danger to the squadron.
I have yet to finish this, but it should be done soon since it is just a turret mod. I have yet to build the yoke for the gun and the ammo box, radar, etc.
Enjoy and let me know what you think, especially if you think I overlooked something or need to add something. Also if anyone knows what the backside of a TOW launcher looks like I really need that data, otherwise I'm going to have to guess...
