This is one of those things that came together quickly and yet was pretty cool to do.
I noticed I had a spare armored Cobra Commander body and thought...why not. I started by using gold metallic spray paint to get the chest piece done. I had simply hoped to paint the body red but in testing I found that the red paint over the gold produced a certain Ironman look to it, and went immediately to painting all the parts gold first and then red. The effect isn't easy...the red does not cover in one coat but several and requires some massive evening out BUT...it looked so good I decided to take a shot at all the characters from the Cobra Imperial Procession set. Baroness was soon to follow. For Cobra Commander, I went a little rogue. I hate the original CIP Cobra Commander. I mean its not a horrible figure, but swing on by YoJoe.com for a better look. The uniform is fine, but that big white circle Cobra logo on his head simply kills this figure for me. So I went with a Crimson Guard body (since I have extra anyway) and I added the Dollar General sword / strap. Finally I went with a spare head from the Retaliation HISS Tank CC. Yes I took some liberties...I went a bit creative as opposed to staying true to the original but I think it came out to look fairly awesome...very Imperial.

Nice! I always thought the Royal Guards were a neat-looking kitbash.
