Forgot about that.
Originally, I was going to be lazy and leave the Cobra Trooper legs on him. Then decided, it'd be nice to make him look more different than a standard trooper. I was going to just paint his waist black and leave the SE legs black to reduce the amount of painting, but just in the end decided I wanted him to have blue pants cause he's a Cobra Trooper still.

I like that idea. Just mold those legs, knees and pegs in the 50th CT color. Then you only need to paint the pads and straps. No cross joint painting needed then.

Great job, so much better than the club's version.

Yeah, I don't want to cannibalize a figure to get the legs, especially if I'd have to paint them too.

I didn't really like the Club's upcoming Lt. Clay Moore. Just found him too small plus I'm not willing to pay the club prices for a figure that I think looks sub-par. I decided to take an extra 50th Cobra Soldier and Tornado Kick Snake Eyes legs to make this. I couldn't paint match the legs well enough so I painted his waist too so that he has different colored pants from his shirt. I painted the neck to match the flesh tone and just painted his right shoulder pocket silver. The silver doesn't make sense but it's just to replicate his silver arm band that the original had.

Thanks for all the comments. I had to dig through old PM's to figure out where I got the idea from and then I found it. It was 46 Zone who used those legs first for his Clay Moore custom. I just copied his idea.

I just made a minor update. Managed to get a Firefly webgear that had the bombs still attached so I swapped the webgear.
with my Cobra Officer custom
