Tintin's Shark Sub

Great Snakes!

History
Sometime in 1944, Professor Cuthbert Calculus developed a Submarine small enough for one man, and which would prevent interference from sharks. This "Shark-Proof Submarine" would be used later that same year by the himself, Tintin, and Captain Haddock, in their search for Red Rackham's gold.

    I hope you all enjoy! It was a lot of fun to build this, Tintin is one of my favorite comic series. It was my first attempt at a free diving submarine, and thanks to the help of MintLynx and BMilan, I think it turned out extremely well. I hope to upload a bunch more soon, I have a bunch of (In my opinion) pretty solid builds from the last few months I still have to upload.

    @LegendaryPilot I thought the same actually! The sub is rated in the comics for no deeper than 900 feet,I wonder if it would be possible

    You know... Something I have really been thinking about is submarine depth implosions. I mean like, what if there was a (submarine) build in which once it surpasses a specific depth, it explodes! (Or implode, which is the official term.) I feel like it would really be a great idea. Well anyways, this is a very fine build, and interesting idea..
