I picked up a Power team marine PBR to mess with, and added a somewhat LBC Guillotine to head the squad. The Eels fit so nicely in the seats, like they were made to go there.

That looks great! What kind of paint do you use on your vehicles? Very clean, smooth job. I like it a lot. I'm not familiar with the character of Guillotine, but the figure looks cool. Great job all around!

Guillotine is a member of the Plague, a team of "specialists" within Cobra that was envisioned a while back by some Devil's Due writers, but didn't get use until three of them, Guillotine included, showed up in a DTC 6 pack, "Steel Brigade Vs the Plague". They are showing up heavily in current issues of the comic, though.
In Guillotine's file card write up, they mention he was a Navy SEAL, Cobra Eel, and I think somewhere it said he led the Eels at some point. So, this figure was meant to be a "Pre-Plague" Eels Mission leader Guillotine. The Black and Blue colors I use used to be available from Wal-Mart, it was called "color spray" and was DIRT CHEAP, like a buck or two a can. WM axed the line in 2006 I think, so i tracked it down online to the company called chaseproducts.com. I got a couple cases there, but have not ordered in a while, so the line might have since changed. It is the best paint I have ever used for those two colors on vehicles.

Very cool indeed! I also made an LBC Guillotine, but used the VvsV Electric Eel v3 Body (keeping him more in line with the Plague Troopers).
I love seeing what people do with "off brand" vehicles. They always look like something that you would expect to see come from the main line. |

Big Lots is where I got mine. They got in a fantastic assortment of PTE stuff this year, but it really starts selling fast about now.
