Hey guys! Just got my Arctic Threat Duke in the mail the other day and the coat thing was startin' to bug me. Using an ROC Ice-Viper's jacket, I came up w/ this. Even found the perfect spot to cut through to attach his backpack! I've still gotta add the green spots to match the sleeves and legs but what do you guys think?
UPDATE: So as I said in the initial post, I hadn't put the camo pattern on yet. I was debating on whether or not to paint the upper-right pouch black but when I saw how awesome it looked on Mr.Clean's version (a link is posted a few replies below by Zpartikuz) I went ahead w/ the change. I found by mixing Testors Enamel White together w/ Flat Olive, I got almost the EXACT match to the green pattern on the actual figure. Thanks! Last edited by CliffSteele; 07-14-2010 at 05:23 PM.. |

This is an easy way to start!
1.Take a Q-tip and dip it in paint thinner. Use this to get rid of the Cobra symbol on the jacket. This will take a while, but it'll come off! When you're down to little tiny red marks, you can use an X-Acto knife to LIGHTLY scrape them off. 2. Take your X-acto knife and cut the molded scarf portion out of the jacket. Duke's head won't fit back on right without doing this. 3. Cut the pouch and the roll off of the back of the jacket. The pouch should just pull/pry off. Cutting off the roll will leave a hole in the jacket, but don't worry because the backpack will cover it up! 4. Directly below the molded hood on the back of the jacket, cut a little square in the center. This happens to line up exactly with the hole in duke's back. 5. Paint to your discretion.
