For Icecreamman's latest project, I wanted to create a boat that was equally menacing and realistic enough that it could be a real life vehicle. I took a Retaliation Water Moccasin, and modified it slightly by adding a Gatling gun off a POC HISS, and then used the mortar launchers that came with the CCN. I used a picture of an air-boat to mimic the "reed" camo. I also customized a 25th ann B.A.T. as the pilot of this craft. I then cut holes and mounted custom mortar tubes in the rear storage compartments using mortars for a heat viper. Here are the pics, enjoy!

I like the idea,but the CAMO looks off to me...I see it all the time where I live,so that's prolly why. I'd recommend grabbing some grass from outside,laying it over the part,then spraying the color.,when you pull the grass away you'll be left with the effect.. That's how it's done on rifles&boats here in the panhandle&swamps of lower alabama&mississipi where I'm originally from, only with real reeds,swamp grass,and pussy willow.
Still,a really neat custom,far better then what you started with.

I like it alot as well but the camo on the boat just looks busy or rushed , hobby lobby sells a do it yourself camo template where the airbrushs are you could airbrush them or sponge them just to throw it out there , i think your color choice for the camo is spot on and a great mix . I love the bat especially without that grenade ugh i hated that grenade and strap .

Unfortunately, as stated above, the camouflage is not working. I wish we could have seen it before the paint application so that the fabrication could be fully appreciated.

I would love to see how you mounted those mortars on. That's such a cool idea.

Inspiring work.
I've had parts for a build like this for a while now. I need to get on it.

Thanks, really not much fodder needed, only piece I scratchbuild was to mount the gatling gun. Everything else was just random fodder.
