This started out as a Viper w/removable helmet custom, but the Viper head is too small. When I drilled it out, only the Scarface head would fit. The other Cobra Trooper/Officer heads were just too big. Unfortunately, the fit was so tight that it was really hard to remove the helmet after. The reason for the tight fit and the non-fitting was the face mask. It just isn't big enough to accomodate the figure's nose. When I cut off the face shield, the helmet fit really nice.

I've since changed his arms back to the red ones so that the red pads on his arms match the red on his legs better.

nicely done. And finally makes it look like the goggle actually have a purpose now. lol.
I wonder, now that you've cut the face plate out of one - did it look feasible to you to try to turn that into a drop down type of visor you could attach to the top of the helmet?

I like this look... kind of a happy medium between a Viper and a classic Cobra trooper.

LOVE the look...it's sort of what I'd imagined a Cobra Marine/Naval Infantryman would've looked like.
