Any problems with the head and the scarf piece (for future reference)?
I took the scarf/neck post off when applying the Cobra sticker because the bottom tip of the scarf covers the very top of the sticker. Also, I did have to Dremel off some of the back of the neck to give the head better rotation, but as far as the neck post goes the head fit fine.
As far as the color scheme, I was going for more of an updated version of the Desert Assault Cobra Officer, which that whole box set is a tan color.
If anyone is interested, I highly recommend Paraviper's custom helmets. They have the officer chevron sculpted on them. This helmet was a flesh tone color, but he also makes black and blue - the blue is an almost identical match to the POC Cobra soldier blue.
Thanks for the comments and questions Hisshissfangfang! You know your reinvented Cobra customs are an inspiration for all of these. I've also revamped my Motor-Viper and Motor-Viper Officer (Stinger drivers), customized a HEAT-Viper (bazooka trooper), and a Frag-Viper (grenadier). I'll be posting those and some Class of 1984 Joes in the next couple of weeks. Thanks.
