If you haven’t seen Blood Brigade‘s work by now, then you don’t know what you’re missing! For instance, check out his latest creation, this BEAST of a vehicle aptly Cobra Tidal Wave! Check out this awesome back story –
Protecting Cobra Island is a huge task. Tired of losing battles in the ocean to the Joes Cobra Commander decided the edition of their own Hovercraft was a must. The Cobra Tidal Wave is based off the Joes Killer Whale but has a much more heavily armoured body making it nothing short of a floating tank. Featuring a long range mega concussion cannon it has three times the firing range of the Whale. It also has two side mounted electro fired CNM-44 machine guns, six super strike medium range tactical strike grenades, four front mounted mini scorpion heat seeking missiles, ten side mounted stingers and six depth charges. it also features a mini hydro sled and a small scout bike for surveillance.

This was a fare bit of work but I'm glad I finally got it done. The Brawler body was cut down to fit inside a heavily modified whale body. I had to build the whole side decking from styrene and repair the lower door so it would open and shut. I used broken engine pieces as unbroken ones are rare and I would never customize those. I blended the Brawler cannon with the base from the Mean Dogs one so it could rotate. I modified the front blast shield to give it a different look and also added the Mean Doge side rockets launchers in a way that makes it look like you could climb up into the turret. Motor Vipers are perfect colours for Navy Vipers so I decided to repurpose them as a crew for my Tidal Wave. I painted it to match all my other boats, it's Tamiya U.S. Navy blue and Krylon primer grey.

I have a few dead WHALES, I have never known what to do with them, mainly because the tail fins are so hard to come by. But after the discussion in the WIP thread I came to realize that I could just totally replace the fans with the ones from a Water moccasin.

Would love to see this verse the KILLER WHALE, on the high seas. The salvos back and forth would be amazing!
