If Apac brings the Viper Pit, I'm bringing the IRON ONSLAUGHT!

That is a good question as to when it is. There are supposed to be 2 of them the first being the picnic again, the second like a weekend event. May is the picnic I don't know what weekend(dates) it hasn't been decided yet. I will make sure I share the info as soon as I find out for sures.

On a similar note is there a link to those pics from last years meet ?

I think we will bring the Viper Pit up...with the artillery and motor pool to the meet. Sadly, that is most of the customizing I did since the last meet. I got alot of stuff I want to start up this year...the temple is definately tops on the list.

I'll look for the link at CI for the pics (it may of been before the change-over..again) , I know I still have the pics on my photobucket account.

Yep...right here: http://www.cobraisland.com/forums/showthread.php?t=452


CIAD was correct...the old thread didn't survive the wipe, so I put them in the thread about this years meet.

That is simply beautiful! Makes me wish I still had my old HQ I received when I was 6 or 7.

May I ask how long it took for the walls of the HQ to dry once you sprayed them down? I've never customized anything before, but that definately gives me some ideas.

Thanks!!

It didn't take long at all. I did put a couple coats on them though. I was usually painting them before I would go to bed...and let them dry overnight, but most spray paint dries pretty quickly, but the longer you let it sit before handling the better. After they were painted blue...i hit them with a matte clear coat which dries quickly also...but protects the paint from chipping off.

Have fun with the customizing...and be sure to show us pics of your project when done.

Hey Apac,

With the Cobra Temple you're going to build this year....do you plan to incorporate the Viper Pit in to it somehow? Or will this be a "stand alone" base next to the Temple?

[apacolypse]

I'm thinking it will be a stand alone base....somewhat of a trainining facility for Viper candidates.

I thought about incorporating it with the temple when you mentioned that before...but as you know, I changed the plans for the temple several times and that was hindering production. If I start to incorporate the viper pit to the temple plans...who knows when it will see production. LOL

I checked today @ my local Super Wal*Mart and I couldn't find that paint you used. Is it located in the toys by the models or in the regular paint section? Also, any idea what brand it is. I'll have to wait until we get into our new house at the end of the month before I do anything, but I'd like to pick up the supplies before hand.
