Info: I decided to take the "Built to Rule" concept
one step further and make a Cobra Officer out of a Lego figure. All the parts
were taken from an old biker figure, except the head which is from Lego's take
on Luke Skywalker. The helmet was heavily modified using a Dremel and Milliput.
The Cobra insignia was simply printed out and stuck on - I didn't fancy my chances
painting a symbol 4mm across!
The most difficult part was photographing the finished product. As the figure
is nearly all dark blue and black, my camera had a hard time picking up the
details. Worst of all was the ink I used for the straps on the figure's torso
- for some reason they turn a strange brown colour when the flash is directly
on them. Could be time for a new camera!
