Cobra K-9 Unit Officer and Dog

Cobra needs a K-9 Unit to patrol the perimeter of their bases so I decided to make this special K-9 Unit Officer and his dog.

Starting with a 2007 25th Anniversary Cobra Officer from wave 1, I took his right upper leg and left lower arm off and switched them with 2008, wave 10 Mutt. The lower left arm from Mutt would not go into the Cobra Officer's left upper arm because the knob on Mutt's lower arm was bigger than the hole in the upper arm of the Officer. So, out came the dremel and with a little bit of modification, the Mutt lower arm fit into the Officer upper arm. I used Mutt's right upper leg with the holster and matched that up with the lower leg and torso of the Cobra Officer without a problem. The vest was also from Mutt and was repainted blue and black with some silver trim. I painted the K-9 Unit on the back of the vest and added a silver Cobra symbol from cobrastickers.com to the front and back of his vest.

For the Cobra dog, I painted a coat on him with blue and then added the black for the trim of the coat and put a silver Cobra symbol on both sides of the dog's coat to finish it.
