Hey guys.
Had some time and a load of spare parts on my hands this weekend, so I made a few Cobra army builders for fun.
First is one I've been trying to get a handle on for a while. Morays are my Eel squad leaders. I'd been using a Cobra Diver (for the large amount of red/crimson in the color scheme), but I really didn't like the white trim. So I repainted it, popped on a new head and hands and gave him a distinctive mask. Instant Moray.

Next up is a sort of reimagining of the Rock Viper. I liked the basic design of that figure, but not the color scheme. As it happened, Hasbro provided a figure i really liked the color scheme of but not the character. A little re-equip and dremeling of an Arctic Sc rap Iron head for a helmet and I had my Rock Viper.

Then came a little challenge for myself. Back during the custom celebration, I recommended making a SAW Viper for one of Sidewinder's build-a-TRU 5-pack challenges. This is essentially the recipe I had in mind. Turns out I had all the parts sitting around, doing nothing. So I slapped them together and put some paint on them.

Finally, a figure I'd been thinking about making for a long time. I know the Joes beat "Strike First" and that Sherry Wingfield put a bullet in her husband's back, but since Vance was all about survival, I figure he got better. A few surgeries and some intensive training later and I imagine Vance and First Strike would be back, annoying as ever. This is how I figure he'd look.

How do you guys think these turned out?
