G.I.Joe Resolute looks to have a more updated realistic look and the Cobra Trooper is my all time favorite figure. I decided he needed a ride. You can't just give Cobra a regular Woodland Humvee. It looks like they just stole a Joe vehicle. So, I had to paint it.
Base - Power Team Elite Humvee (flatbed) - approx. - $15 - They may can still be found at Big Lots. Base paint - Tamiya spray Intermediate Blue - approx. $6 I wish the base paint was a little darker, but I think it works. Camo colors - Tamiya brush on Blue and Black - approx. - $3 a piece It may have looked better had I used spray on the camo colors, but honestly, I didn't feel like spending the money or making a mask. I know the blue camo usually has white in it as well, but I thought the white made it look too Arctic, so I left it off. I used a little red to paint back in the smaller lights/reflectors. The PTE Humvee comes apart REAL easy. The side rails just lift out. There are just four screws holding the chassis to the body. Once apart, the grill guard comes out and the steering wheel slides out letting the windshield come out. The only thing to mask was the headlights. I just put silicone on them. Then peeled it off later. This, of course, will be a lot more useful if I can ever find more Resolute Cobra Troopers.

Really Neat! Can you post a pic with some troops sitting in the back of the humvee?

that looks cool. The blue hiss looks great with it too. For some reason I'm a big fan of the blue hiss and it fits in well with the Resolute Cobra's and that killer humvee that you you gave them. A true modern take on it

I like the blue HISS too, and I kept trying to find the right place for it. When Resolute came out, I thought it looked really well with that. As you can see by the last pic, Resolute Cobra Commander won't fit all the way down in the turret with his skirt, but the way I have him posed, he looks like he's standing high calling for an advance, so it works. Especially with the HISS at an incline going over the PTE bridge.
