i know the feeling, but i didn't get that feeling when i hacked up RS's gear..i bought that pack solely for customs fodder (i love RS's backpack, perfect for the upcoming Greenshirts....anybody have any they'd like to part with?)...i did however feel that way when i tore apart my only Bazooka to make a better Sarge...it's like a band-aid, just do it fast...

If the helmet/symbol sticks too much, reset the green stuff, wet the helmet/symbol, and try again.

Let the push stamp dry/cure, and then trim the excess being careful not to harm the details. Now take the helmet that you want to have the symbol and add a small amount of green stuff to it. Wet your push stamp and then push it into the green stuff. Remove the push stamp, trim the symbol, and you should have an Cobra symbol like the original.

man this is a great idea...this could work with tons of stuff...could make spare Zartans disgises...man my spelling is awful!

Impressive work.

My only issue isn't your custom - that's perfect. My issue is with the inspirational original. The underwear outline thing is just silly. He looks like he secretly wished to be a DC character.

Ha - you upgraded him from briefs to bikini!
