so, while I was waiting for my SDCC exclusive I customized my own pilot Cobra Commander. I like Hasbro's better. I switched out the SDCC CC's helmet because I was very afraid of it getting scratched, the chrome had no flaws, and I wanted to keep it that way.

Ben, what is that CC on the left, in the first picture? The paint apps and gloss look amazing!

I used Skydive (the new guy with the goofy jetpack) as the base. Parachute is from Best of the 80s DVD Battles. Head is from the new PoC Cobra Commander. I was actually thinking the other night I need to hit it with a layer of dull coat except for the helmet.

model master paints. I picked them up at hobby lobby in lathem, but Hobby Town on central ave by Kohls has a good selection as well. French blue and dark blue. I think Hobby Town has a better selection, prices I believe are about the same at both.

I did some hunting while out and about this weekend.
TRU CP - Had some figures (Duke, SE, SS) and some of the mech suits. Maybe an Ice Cutter and SkyHawk. Wal-Mart CP - Had the Blowtorch, CC, Vipers, CL figures. No vehicles. Target CP - nothing that I can recall Target Saratoga - Struck gold. Three Skystrikers. Bought one, left two. I can't even recall what figures they had. I was so stoked about the 'striker. |
