As most of you tankers know, I love carriers, especially the USS FLAGG playset, of which I dont own one yet, but that day is coming. In the interim, instead of just wishing for one, I decided to build my own version with some improvements. I decided to make one as close to the playset as possible in length, but depth and width I wanted to improve on.
She isnt finished by any means, but Im tired of sketching and seeing others get thier carriers going. She will be mounted on a board with supports underneath and I already have the 360 swivel wheels ready to attach. The side walls will be foam board that will be removeable for access to play. I still want to add the elevators to the starboard side, so the superstructure will be moved over to create a bit more space on the deck-refer to first picture in the USS FLAGG PLAYSET album. All in all, Im very happy I finally am starting to get her put together. I have been trying to locate a superstructure, so if anyone can help a fellow tanker out, please lmk.

Thanks, I appreciate all the kind words. Im looking forward to finishing it this week, just one more day of work.
I was wondering, what do you guys think of a COBRA CARRIER? I thought it would be cool if Cobra had a carrier of its own to bring the fight to GI JOE on the high seas or where-ever. |

Well CC, I have a squadron of brand new rattlers just waiting for a chance to strike at the FLAGG. Im trying to make a sleeker designed carrier more for VTOL aircraft and choppers/TBs, there is another carrier I have on the drawing board that might just do for a night raven. For now that, Im going to keep a smaller carrier to compete with the FLAGG, two other ships are in design stages, one is definately for Joes. On one of the other threads there was a picture of a helicopter carrier, Cobra's will be similar in design to that, but the superstructure and armaments will be extremely different. If you have any suggestions, post a pic of a sketch or try and describe and idea, Im keeping both the small carriers at 8 foot long.
