Here's the current look my Cobra Commander throne.
It's an old Flash Gordon Ming's Jaws of Death throne, repainted blue. I'm considering: 1. Painting the eyes red 2. Going a slightly darker shade of blue 3. Possibly painting the teeth white 4. Adding a Cobra decal just above the commander's head Any other ideas? LMK what you think.

instead of repainting add darker highlights. or dry brush it=get a fluffy brush,apply the paint an swipe the brush on a paper towel or something until a good most of it is off then go along the raised areas of the throne, what happens is the color lightly clings to the raised areas an alomst compeletly leaves the solid areas alone.

Yeah, I thought about that, but I'm not a huge fan of the drybrush. I like my figures clean without the weathered look, so I wasn't sure I wanted it on the throne.
That being said, I still may end up going that direction. and H.A.L., I can't see the linked pic (probably due to my filter), can you post as an attachment? Also, do you have a pic from that CC bust, I'm not familiar with it!

I like the shade of blue as it is. I don't think I'd go darker as you might lose detail. maybe red eyes and some gold trim somewhere? Those hoses on the back may look good in gold.

i think the red eyes would be a go and, also the teeth either white or another color wouldbe sweet.
if you do a decal on it then I would put it higher than just above cc's head. just mo though

I'd leave the decal off. It's too much like tattooing a picture of a butt on your butt.

Yeah I'd been looking for a long time for a good throne, and someone else here shared the idea. I love the 'Tank.
