Few weeks back I got the weird idea that why aren't there standard Cobra blue versions of the Desert Assault Troopers (Explosives Expert, Flamethrower, and Hazardous Environment).
I'm also kinda obsessed with the idea that a blue shirt is the entry rung of Cobra and should also have various divisions as blue shirts before moving up to more specialized units such as Vipers, or Incinerators etc. This partly springs from the 1982 Cobra Trooper and Cobra Officer exclusives that came with other weapons...like the Machine Gunner, or Bazooka, or the officer with the mortar (more on that in another post as it's a whole other project I'm working on). But I did a mock up of these three in blue and loved it... So I did the real things...yes I made some changes from the art I mocked up...partly to keep things simple in painting...BUT I think the effect came out nicely none the less...

This are fun to look at. I'm a fan a different blueshirt concept like these. The only thing I would add is to change the color of the HET's pads to dark blue, like your mockup, or maybe a grey--red would tie all 3 together for a nice 3-pack. Else, great job!

I love blue shirts and I think we need more of a diversity of them. Your customs look awesome.
