Cobra Arctic H.I.S.S. Tank with Arctic H.I.S.S. Commander


This next custom was done before Hasbro released the 25th Anniversary Arctic H.I.S.S. Tank set. I wanted to give the H.I.S.S. Commander figure a more H.I.S.S. Driver look by giving him the H.I.S.S. Driver trademark lower legs. I did some research on arctic vehicle camo patterns and decided to use this style on the H.I.S.S. Tank.

Today's post will pertain to the Arctic H.I.S.S. Commander figure, tomorrow's will be for the Arctic H.I.S.S. Tank.

Starting with a 25th Anniversary Snow Serpent, I used a H.I.S.S. Driver head and lower legs along with Snake Eyes webgear. I painted the "fur" parts of the Snow Serpent brown and black gloves. The head was painted white and received a sky blue mask like most of Cobra's Arctic Officers have. Painted the raised details on the H.I.S.S. Driver's helmet grey and the goggles silver.
