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.
lol, one of the most interesting memories of my childhood
;)
Yep! I loved them when I was you get. I had the theme playing more than once when I was building and testing the sub lol. @belugasub
Really like this. Did you ever watch the animated series?
Mine too! I read all the books and watched the animated series like a thousand times lol @FeatherWing
My childhood.
I wonder too! I hope that someone with the skill and effort takes the time to actually make one... @aerodummy
Nice 😎 @Th3rmoplylae

@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
@aerodummy hmmm okay
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..
@Th3rmoplylae I was actually considering the Rocket! I don't like to promise builds though
@aerodummy build the Moon-tank next please
@Th3rmoplylae Yes sir! Thank you for the upvote :)
Ayoooo the famous shark sub!
