Cobra Water Moccasin swamp boat (GI Joe) by Jabberwock

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Another GI Joe model for my game, drawn using the original toy and a 6 inch caliper. The file is presented full scale but I modeled it so that it was optimized when printed at 25%. Unless you stay in that range it may have too much or too little detail.
This vehicle is a swamp boat. It wasn't my favorite so it got blown up a lot when I was a kid.
Update 12/3/15 I realized how easy it would be to make the rear fan blade assembly more like the actual toy. My original publish didn't have the fins in the back. I uploaded an improved version. There are four of them sitting on my desk (meaning the file prints just fine), I just didn't have time to paint and replace my old ones.
Two files needed to print the model. There are two hulls to choose from; a waterline version (so it looks how the boat would look floating) and a full hull as if the boat was out of the water. The second file to print is the fan assembly. Either hull is printed with the nose pointed up. The fan assembly should be printed with the blades parallel to the ground. In all cases no supports should be needed.
Much respect and gratitude to the men and women of our Armed Forces (past and present). Your sacrifice allows people like me to live in peace and freedom. /You/ are the real American heroes.
