This is such the obvious rehash for Sideshow to do. I expect they'll do it at some point. But until then, I so wanted to do one of these being a vehicle fan, so I went it did one myself.
I got my hands on an extra Cobra Officer uni and helmet and then gave it a re-dye. The stitching doesn't bleach or dye, so you see the old blue. The Cobra emblem is a bit faded because of the process. Not sure if I'll print new ones and iron them over, but I'm kinda liking the faded look. It gives him a field appearance. The rest of the figure is a Cobra Trooper and the gas can is a WWII German one, which'll get a repaint in either black or Cobra blue, or perhaps both. I've got some decals left over from the ATV project that I'll apply. Now to make that Stinger John |

That looks great. Now all you need is a Stinger to scale.

That is too cool! If you hadn't mentioned the stitching, I would have even noticed.
Awesome work! |

Nicely done... I too expect Sideshow to come out with a 12" Stinger driver.

Thanks guys. I did start measuring a Stinger for a scale up. Right now I'm looking for an appropriate chasis. If I do this I want it to be R/C.
There's a few other projects on the workbench that are in line first. Will post pics when they're ready. John |
