I wanted GI Joe to have something to combat a Moray so I made this boat that I'm calling the Stingray.
This custom was heavily modified and painted from a Chap Mei Attack Boat. Boat controls were completely recolored to bring out detail, a paint wash was applied to bring out details on the boar, and decals were added all over it. I liked the original sea camo the toy came with so I left it alone. I added a working crane, crane controls, roof communications array, lights, twin airhorns, roof mounted articulated machine gun, anchor, anchor chain, and anchor housing to form a working retractable anchor. For more in depth work in progress of the project go here http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-boat-wip.html The stingray logo was made from clipart of a sports team mixed with clipart of a cigar.

The crane and its controls are removable. The controls are mounted to a lego piece for a secure but easy to remove attach point. The controls themselves were built from various old lego and btr parts. The levers work, and the controls are heavily weathered as a control panel seeing a lot of salt water would be. The crane is lego parts combined with a Marvel Legend flight stand and dowel attachment point inside the boat.
On the interior I added a weapons rack, fire extinguishers, med kit, radar screen, Cover girl poster, sea chart. Started with this: Ended with this: Last edited by sisco; 05-01-2009 at 06:36 AM.. |

The boat looks great and the pics are cool too, I love Deadpool doing the I'm king of the world pose in one pic and then fishing in the other pic while Cobra is attacking the boat
Edit: I just noticed your Stingray logo that is cool as hell. Last edited by SNAKE EYES; 05-01-2009 at 07:10 AM.. |

I love that boat. I need to get one to mod up.
Love the idea of using lego pieces to create easy attach points. That's ingenious.
