ok, I'm gonna be honest. The paint work is very sloppy. The cobra sigil is unrecgonizable and shouldn't have been painted on there. It should've been a sticker but the original didn't have one at all. The red trim on the torso is a nice touch but the backpack should be black. It's a nice start for your first custom. Can't say mine looked any better but practicing makes you better. Also, try to keep your hand really steady when painted the details.

It's not bad, I'd have left the insignia off, but it looks cool otherwise, don't get mad if it didn't come out the way you wanted, I tried to make a custom cobra yesterday and I've misplaced the head!

It needs work but let me tell you for a "first" it is damn good. Play around with some peg warmers, practice, practice and more practice. You are on the right path.

lets me say nice job on your first custom
You will get better the more you do it, dont be afraid of asking questions about different styles and the different paints, there are alot of customers out who are willing to share their knowledge. fyi python patrol doesnt use the cobra insignia pick out cheaper figures to practice on for like big lots or a dollar store and take your time |

It looks pretty good for a first. One thing that helped me was i started out on 6in and 12in figures and worked down to 3 3/4

Good job on a first custom. The cobra sigil should probably be left off. Also I would suggest getting finer brushes and being very patient when painting details. I have a problem of getting too anxious sometimes and rushing things. Practice is key.
