So my new buddy ratm hooked me up with a couple of the Chap Mei Heavy Patrol Boats and here are some pics.

As you can see it works perfectly with 25th Joes. Here it is being crewed by my 25th Sailors and custom Cutter and Torpedo.




Here's Torpedo about to enter the water and a gunner manning the big guns.


This is the dive scooter tube thing that comes with it. Apparently it mounts on the left side under the "wing" but I'm going to keep it stowed on the deck. The deck guns AND tower are removable to add room on the deck which is a great feature.


Here's a Chap Mei raft that I'll be using with one of these boats. Its a bit too wide to fit on the deck but with that tow hook on the back of the boat I think I can rig a tow line to it or something.


This is my little boarding dioshot I did for fun. You can see how big the Patrol Boat is next to the Chap Mei smaller patrol boat.


And here are a couple shots showing how well the new 25th Flight Pod fits on the deck.


And finally this is a shot with the Chap Mei copter that's about the same size as the FANG (don't have my FANGs yet)

Cool!

Now I have to have one, dammit

Yep, makes perfect sense that Chap Mei would finally release this stuff stateside right when I return to school and can no longer afford to buy them.

....just because I'm masochistic and want to torture myself more, do you have any Hulkbusters (either the two-pack ones or the TRU exclusive Steel Brigade style) that you could post manning that thing? It looks like it would make a great vehicle for them.

Yeah I had a blast playing with this while setting up the pics. Can't wait to tear one apart and customize it for Cobra. Makes for a great Moray Mk II.

Darko, I don't have any of the Hulkbusters but I'm sure it would look great with them. It has a nice dark color scheme that would match them nicely.

I've got all but the Tunnel Battle set, so if nobody gets some pics up by the weekend I'll do a few. I'm tempted to just order the Tunnel Battle set on the website even though it'll cost more doing that. They seem to be refusing to stock it here.

I've got the pictures ready with the Hulk Busters. but I didn't really load it down. I got annoyed with the boat when the guy I put in the gun seat wouldn't reach the control bars and the guy I put to drive the boat wouldn't reach the dash. It needs some modifying to be perfect unfortunately. It still looks cool though:
