Since the Danger at the Docks sets are on clearance, I picked one up and added stickers from Cobrastickers.com to make the VAMP MK.II into the Cobra Stinger Mk.II
I originally had the idea of doing this for Vypra but thought the Flint was really nice so I decided to make Flint the driver. He is my updated Cobra Coils. The original Cobra Coils doesn't look like this and were basically the fast attack vehicle driver division of Cobra. This is his updated look to blend in with the urban environment as this is an urban attack vehicle. Cool thing is that he sits so well in the vehicle, he can actually see through the front window. The thing I hated about the VAMP is most of the time, the driver's sight line is into the rollbar.

I'm loving this a lot. It's an idea I intend to replicate man.

$24.98 but this is in Canada where the regular price was $34.99. See the Canadian sightings thread for all the clearance pricing on the 50th stuff. The BBZ set is the best deal at $20 off ($29.98 vs $49.99)

Oh, and the sticker sets used were the Retaliation Combat Cruiser Stinger set from Cobra Stickers. Unfortunately, it didn't have the red logo that goes on the Stinger but I had a set of Dreadnok Ground Assault stickers from him as well that I used for the logo behind the door.
Just for a backstory, I think when I get Vypra, she'll go on the passenger side. If she's the Cobra courier, then the Coils here is in charge of getting her and the package to the destination.

Fits well with Stinger color wise I mean. I think you should give a bit of color to the head. Not sure what colors to use but probably paint the glasses or helmet

Yeah, it is kinda plain but I'm just too lazy to put any paint detail on a guy that will just sit in the vehicle but yeah, it might bring out the details of the head better if I did.

When I saw this I thought it looked like a Cobra vehicle. Nice idea looks great.
