Originally I wanted to do a 7 figure set in honor of Big Bad Toystore and their awesome exclusives over the years.
I was thinking all COBRA MOTOR CORPS

I don't know what the composition of the group would be -
2 Stinger Drivers (these are light/no armor, lightly armed just basic drivers)
2 Motor Vipers (mechanized infantry version and ?)
1 Track Viper
???





Another idea for a set - Cobra SWAT type guys
Originally I wanted to make Night Adder the leader but I goofed repeatedly and messed him up
This Shocktrooper with the grey belt is entirely repainted and you can barely tell lol - he probably took the longest out of everything here between painting and picking out exactly the parts I wanted... and the end result is a bit too subtle but he's one of those figures I think looks sort of dull in pictures but in person the improvements are really noticeable.






Not related but I don't post often enough so here's a mini diver scene I made and a Royal Guard that came out much better than expected, that I'd like to share with you guys.

Hot Damn

There's some great work in there. And so many, I'm going to need to look closer when I get home.

A lot of really great work. That Track Viper is wicked.

Big thanks to Avacslab for that one - I didn't even have a Track Viper on my radar until I got the cast of the head and it fit pretty well unmodified then everything just came together almost immediately and worked great with the Stinger Drivers I had already made (I still had some of the custom blend of grey I liked in a little container)

And actually the codpiece armor is something I only had to modify a tiny bit - I got it in a trade of parts, it might have been from here, and the person who traded it to me had already cut it and sanded it, all I did was straighten out the top a bit and make a shaped recess with my dremel for the bottom of the armor to go in and be glued.

Track Viper Recipe -

Head - Avacslab Cast
Torso, upper arms and upper legs - one of the grey ROC neo troopers
Lower Arms (only gloves, the elbow joints are grey and I grafted the gloves on) - 50th Cobra Commander
Lower Legs - Techno Viper
Shoulder Armor (will add another to the other side eventually) - Batman Mr. Freeze figure
Armored Codpiece - ROC Flash
Vest - POC Firefly

very inspiring sets. i have been thinking of a small joe team recently and i really like the cobra teams you put together.

Track Viper and Royal Guard are my favorites.

If you were looking for additional drivers to round out the set, you could try to do a chauffeur for Cobra Commander as an original character. That's been on my to do list for a while, just can't come up with a look I like.

Wait, back up. More pics and recipe for the Royal Guard needed.
