ROCC repaint...Pythonized.

apacolypse · 06-24-2007, 07:50 PM

A buddy gave me an extra ROCC he purchased for parts to repaint for him. I was going to try one idea...then at last minute figured I'd try another route.

I didn't touch the interior (its pretty detailed as is) just added some decals to the jet and the comm center.

I didn't paint the turrent yet..anyone who has one knows this area moves around ALOT. He has two children...and if they are getting it, I wanted to save the playability factor without risking paint wear here. This may change as I hear back from him.

Overall...I like it, and so does my son. I got two of these coming from HTS this week hopefully...one will be done in the same manner.

Great job. Now that is a command center worthy of Cobra Commander himself. Have you thought of what to call it? Something like Anaconda would be cool and hasn't been used by Cobra yet.

I dubbed it King Python for now...but seeing as how this was a commission job, I'll let the owner name it.

Thanks for the comments!!

I'm so jealous! Amazing job. How did you get the python look to it? Or is that a magician secret?

Thanks fellas!!

Tin: nope its not a secret. Over on joecustoms.com check the wiki for pythonizing. I basically went by that except I used those bags that you put babie clothes in the washer in. They are basically mesh bags...I picked some more up today and they were labeled Sweater Bags.

I painted the whole thing green...after it dried...laid the mesh as flat as possible on it (enlisted the wife for this process - extra hands help out alot)...then painted with black. After that dried...I put the mesh on again and painted the silver stripes through it.

It sounds like alot to do...and this was my first time attempting it, but it just takes some patience.

Thanks so much for the tips. Whoever thought up the pythonizing technique definitely gets creativity points. Your ROCC looks awesome!
