Cobra Officer (Arctic Outfit)
The second of my arctic custom Cobras, an Officer. Used the same basis for this as I did with the Arctic Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes (Arctic) upper/lower torso, arms, bottom of jacket and hood. I used wave 1 single carded figure Cobra Officer head, helmet, legs and knife but repainted the mask and knee pads flat black insted of grey. Had to use a dremel and remove some of the plastic on the inside of the back part of Snake Eye's hood to allow the helmet to sit properly on the Officer's head.
Sprayed the Snake Eyes parts with flat grey primer, then after it had dried applied the flat white spray paint. Then used flat black and silver for the buttons, belt and belt buckle. Put him back together again and reglued his torso. Applied a red Cobra symbol sticker from cobrastickers.com to his left arm.
