SEA-LION
WEIGHT: 7.4 tons SPEED (fully loaded): 25 knots RANGE (fully loaded): 420 miles ARMAMENT: 1x twin .50 caliber machine gun with 2000 rounds of ammunition, 2x side mounted 20mm armor-piercing gattling guns with 500 rounds of ammunition each/short-range anti-ship laser guided missile launcher combos, 2x side mounted 7.62mm machine guns with 750 rounds of ammunition each, 2x rear-mounted anti-armor heat-seeking missles. OTHER: the Sea-Lion is equipped with an advanced, GPS based radar and communications package as well as a state of the art anti-detection system. The G.I.Joe Sea-Lion is the toughest and most versitle weapon in the Joe naval arsenal. This heavily armed, multi-role vehicle is used for coastal patrol/defense, assault, covert insertion, and search-and-rescue to name a few. The G.I.Joe Sea-Lion was a side project of Cutter, Shipwreck, and Seastrike who, with a little help from the weapons locker and a lot of hard work, made this standard coastal patrol boat into something capable of much more. One morning, Cobra attacked the G.I.Joe naval installation where the Sea-Lion was being assembled. Hydrofoils, Pirhanas, FANGs, and Mantis' took out the majority of the Joe firepower sitting at dock and destroyed the communications array. With nearly all of their vehicles destroyed, no hope for air support, and pinned down the Joes threw the Sea-Lion in the water and came out blasting. The boat screamed out of the harbor and bit a 20m hole in the Cobra offensive line. By the time Cutter had the Sea-Lion turned around to begin his next attack run, the Cobras retreating. From that day forward the Sea-Lion was put to full use by the G.I.Joe team. PARTS: I used some Chap-Mei freedom force boat made just for zellers up on the Hamilton mountain in Ancaster. The colours sucked but I painted it uniform light grey and added the custom machine guns at sides (which were easy), and at the front (which was a bitch). As well I took 2 launchers that came with Eels v3 and screwed them to the sides. I also added the red missiles at the back. It still needs stickers - I'm getting a bunch of water slide decals made for me. pictured with Seastrike (custom-at main gun), Wet-Suit (custom), Tracker, Shipwreck, Cutter, Rampart, Topside, Wetdown (custom-black diver), Seaspray (custom-blue diver). |
