OK, so I've been looking at the Sealab map, and it got me wondering: do we have any submersible models already in GMod or able to be ported in?

The point of this is to find a model that could eventually be turned into a drivable vehicle.
I'd love that also. Sealab is a bit too small.
It would be fine as a prop, but you wouldn't be able to stop water going in.
That's what I was wondering. If we could stick some windows into the MW2 one, that'd solve having to stick your head out of the port to see. Is there anyway to make it such that it can only travel in water (and Dive, I guess)?
Water goes through any prop, no matter what. It isn't dynamic, but a brush in the map.

Oh, sorry, I wasn't exactly referring to that, I was thinking to myself about the lack of windows for a proper view, and I didn't write it down right, I guess.

Anyways, anyone interested in this? And I don't really mind the water flowing in, some of them are actually meant to be open.
As for extra stuff, just some windows, really. Somewhere, I'd place some sort of fixed flood light that would be turned on and off with a command (VU-Mod might work for this, but I think that something to Sakarias' air vehicles would do the trick), illuminating the floor below.
I was thinking about a very primitive robotic arm (left mouse opens grip, right mouse closes it: they're pretty much fixed onto there except for the grip), but I'm wondering if that would be worth it.
The alternative to this is an ROV, using similar operation to Jaanus' drone, but I got nothing.
Oh, shit, I got off topic.
The main point was... Are there any currently existing models of a submersible besides the MW2 one? If not, could the MW2 one be used, but modified with the features above?
What if you make a model like that, edit it so the driver seat can have a no-collisioned diver mask with a strapped tube into the machine, that way it looks like you can breathe through the ship.
