Ok, so imititation is the most sincere form of flattery, right? Well I liked COBRACOLLECTOR's General Viper idea and someone posted a picture of the 1998 Cobra Trooper. So I decided to try my hand at the 1998 trooper.
Normally I would have him holding CZ skorpions but I was literally waiting for the paint to dry when I took the picture. http://www.yojoe.com/action/98/cobratrooper.shtml Last edited by Lissangelm; 08-23-2008 at 10:47 AM.. |

looks nice but i don't know what figure your referencing, can you include a picture of that?
the paint looks very well placed, nice clean edges. my hats off to you for having skilled, steady hands.

Thanks, this is one of my first attempts at a custom JOE.
Here's a link to the pic I went off of on yojoe's site. YOJOE.COM | Cobra Troopers I left off the silver leg pockets. |

thanks for the link. some small changes but very close to the original. seeing the original makes your work much more appreciable. i actually like this trooper having honestly never seen him before. i wouldn't mind them releasing this in the current line.

Anytime .... i myself have gotten ideas from the other great customizers here so to me its great when a fellow tanker comes up with a great recipe or paint scheme that just works perfectly and makes others wanna aquire that custom figure in the same fashion
and to me its an honor if anything so Keep em going.

I still think Hasbro needs to do a 5 pack with these.
1 x Cobra Officer (Viper - grey uniform) 2 x Cobra Trooper (Viper - this custom) 2 x Cobra Viper (Viper - regular colors) |
