I don't know what scale you were thinking of or your budget, but I have always thought a big long butane tank would make a good take off point to build a submarine, perhaps one like the Japanese used that had one or two crew. You could add a lawnmower engine and a prop and a periscope would be easy to make out of PVC pipe.

Put it all in the back of a pick up truck and go to the lake and have fun. (or perhaps drown )
