Cobra SeaDevil

The SeaDevil is a new prototype for Cobra's take on the GI Joe S.H.A.R.C.. This fast attack air/sea one man vehicle is just what The Commander ordered. Cobra Commander has put some high dollar into this vehicle equipping it with the most expensive computer gear, weapons and training to see that the water will not be run by GI Joe. The SeaDevil can only fly 100 yards up in the air, anything past that and it is not at full strength. This vehicle is meant to be used as jetboat that can dive underwater quickly and fly up and over the other side of a Joe sitting duck. The computer equipment on board is the best money can buy. Everything is digital and is voice operated. The front windshield doubles as the onscreen. The propulsion engine can do well over 100 MPH coming straight out of the water. It lowers while under the water and raises at full for air travel.


I did a lot of modding of this vehicle. Starting out with a Xyber 9 Jack's Skyfighter. I dremeled out a hole enough where the front turret is flush and can also turn. I took the original chair out and replaced it with half of a General's seat, I chopped the two in half. The side guns I chopped the originals off and replaced with front half of Tunnel Rat's. I took off the original prop that was on the rear engine and also the top and side exhausts. Then replaced prop with a cut to fit exhaust from the Batmobile. Added alot of Sculpey to the holes on sides. I took the fold out wings off and shaved the connecter pieces to make it flush with the existing wings. The underneath, I Sculpied the original area where two landing gear was and added the tab pieces from a Storm Eagle to hold the torpedos. The existing missile "launchers" I used as bueys that I smoothed with Sculpey. The glass I painted with red Stain Glass spray paint (can't really tell too much from pics). Then I painted the badboy up.

 
 
Leviathan

The test pilot is known as Leviathan. He was a former Eel that got a little too close to a Mako Shark in a routine training run through. He lost his right eye in the fast attack and hasn't ever totally got his bearrings straight since. Not many a soldier can look him in his bad eye. He wears a chrome silver prosthetic eye in it's place. He has been given a "deskjob" as a sea vehicle tester. Since he was a top Eel in his day, he is totally fearless and takes this job to heart in giving it his all.


Leviathan got a sculpey beard. I used two left arms from Overkill for the top half with some sanding and cutting. Lower arms, Coils, got some sanding for his gloves. Lower legs, Night Creeper, added some sculpey between his toed shoes. His leg knife sheath was a belt that I cut sections out of to make the size of his thigh. Torch Backpack got trimmed for diving gear. Viper Helmet I drilled a hole in the breather part to connect the hose to the backpack(part of toothpick holding both ends).
