So, this beast is my semi-completed custom Cobra Mansion/Estate/Headquarters. I'm willing to bet that this thing could dwarf the USS Flagg, if they were side by side. That's a 6 foot long table that it's sitting on. This was originally the "Little Tikes Grand Mansion", that was made/sold back in the early 90's. It belonged to my little sister, and then my daughter. It was well worn, missing the doors, had been colored with crayons and markers, covered in stickers & dust, and left for dead.
I took it all apart and gave it a thorough cleaning. I spray painted the base a dull gray and the roof cobra blue. After assembling, I hand-painted all the railings gold. It took forever to paint the railings because there are 9! sets of guard rails on this monster, and they took 2-4 coats of paint each. I added some quality cobra decals and installed tap lights on the ceilings of all the rooms. As shown in the pictures, it holds 94 figures with ease. You could pack in another 15-30 figures, no problem, if desired. Let me know what you all think. It still needs more decals, and possibly some gun turrets. Some furniture would be nice, but where in the world I would find that, I don't know. Thanks for looking. |

Great work, if you are thinking of turrets the roc jungle twin battling guns would work, or if you want to stay vintage, a few asps would really lock that place down

Amazing work! This is the kind of thing I dreamed of doing, but never got around to. Of course it would never have turned out as great as this.
