I've been back at the customs recently and finally got around to finishing a bunch... and more importantly, photographing them!
So, first up, my final iteration of a character I've posted before. Following some very helpful suggestions, I recoloured his hair. I also did an arm swap. He's Cobra's deep cover facilitator for CG ops. The name's Gauntlet - I liked the idea of 'one who protects the hand (of Cobra)'. I already submitted him - watch for the full bio to be posted soon.
Next up we have an almost LBC, latest in my series of Cobra senior leadership. I think he's simple, but the design is effective and playable. I imagine this guy as the CO of an infantry battalion, maybe of Blueshirts. I'm open to name suggestions too.
Next is my Cobra Combat Search and Rescue Viper. I took some design inspiration from a bbi figure... and I chose orange as a tribute to Canadian SAR techs (who wear an orange beret) and because it added an interesting colour element. And yeah, they cary a lot of gear... I was very happy to find a use for the Spy Troops helmet as I thought it resembled a helo crewman's.
Finally, with a personal series on Cobra senior leadership, I thought the next interesting project would be Heros of Cobra. Basically, these are Cobra veterans who have distinguished themselves and have earned the right to wear personalised uniforms. Come to think of it, this could be the basis of an interesting GP! Both of these are unpainted WIPs.
The first I didn't really have any real ideas about, except that he looked like a big, mean infantry sergeant. Any other bio suggestions are welcome.
The second I thought of a sergeant in a shocktroops platoon. He's a veteran heavy infantryman, he specialises in dispensing smoke rounds and CS gas in the assault. (I struggle with how else to explain the mask... even on Guillotine).
Thanks for any feedback!
