Pretty basic build.
Desert scorpion was in the last hoorah for me. IMO a real hidden gem amongst what was and was coming with the neon era Joes. Knowing their backstory I wanted them a little more kitted for desert survival than Hasbro built and cobra sent them out with. I think these dudes are kinda likes cobras FFL. Outcasts, theives, z From all walks of life but also ruthless warriors. Besides his arms everything hand painted. Real neck shemagh , real cross stitching on shoulder pads Real wires for visor. I really liked painting the Scorpion lol.

Desert Scorpion was one of my favorite Cobras growing up! I really love this interpretation of him! So true to the original but with some great detailed updates! Really badass... & the robo-scorpion is nuts! You have been cranking out HIT after HIT!

Like this a lot. Helmet/mask makes him just look like one bad dude. Another great job man. You’re putting on a clinic. That group shot of your 9 joes is just wicked btw.
