at the last GI JOE collectors show i picked up hasbro's cobra trooper missing his original gun and helmet, for only 1.00 well while a the show i found a gernic WW2 german helmet , and a diffrent looking AK-47 and like a crowbar to the head it hit me with paint i could make the cobra trooper better so with what i got and some spare parts lieing around i present this i still have to retouch the helmet a bit..and the flash made the cloth outfit brighter then it actully is

The Helmet Seems A Slight Bit Purple..but The Paint I Used Was Called Midnite Blue...i Might Use A Lighter Blue.....
As Far As Flint Goes All I Am Waiting For Is A Spas Automatic "street Sweeper" Shotgun..and A Black Baret...i Found A Short Sleeve Snap Button Collared Shirt For Him That I Have To Dye Black.but Other Then That Hes Almost Done..... Does Anyone Have An Idea What I Could Use To Make Scaled Shells For His Shot Gun? |

Just as an aside, when you capitalise every single word, it's really hard to read the post.
Anyway, on to the point: That weapon isn't an AK-47, it's a StG-44 (sometimes called the MP43 or MP44). Generally considered to be the first assault rifle, it was built by the German army and issued in 1944, mostly on the Eastern Front. It was never available in sufficient numbers to replace the bolt-action rifle. It's an old gun, but combined with the old helmet makes a really neat effect. I like it. |

I like it. thanks for the comment, and the advice thats a bit of info i did not know...the 1st assult rifle interesting...at any rate it just kinda popped out at me as something that might be used...and the germin helmet was kinda close to the cobra bucket and consdering that sometimes in the early runs of the marvel series there was slight diffrences here and there..but the effect i was going after was more or less was a combo of both the gi joe series from DD that took place in WW2 and just what a realistic trooper might look like |
