Hi all! I'm new here, but I'm a fan for sure! I have built models for a long time and have always wanted to get into transforming the various 'Joe and Cobra vehicles into models. I have been planning a big diorama featuring a squadron of Water Moccasins docked swampside. I plan to heavily modify five Mocs. Three will be updated with more realistic scratchbuilt weaponry. One will be changed to a missile platform, featuring TOW launchers or something similar. The fifth will be a quad seat fire-control/operations platform. It will very basically be two Mocs joined together with conjoined tandom seating like an EA-6B Prowler. It will have seating for a pilot, two fire control officers and a commander.
Attached is a pic of my prototypical Squadron Commander. He has the pants from the updated Copperhead. I used Super Sculpey over a soldered copper wire armature beefed up with aluminum foil. I have to sculpt the hands yet and scratchbuild the accessories out of styrene. He will have the knife, a quick draw holster with either a revolver or pistol and a tactical shotgun and possibly a bandolier of shells. I have to add the visor to the Civil War era hat I added for personality. Let me know what you think! |

Different from what I normally see here. I'm interested in seeing how this comes out.
