I figured it was time to show Sigma 6 some love. Granted the show was... not up to our expectations and the scale change... ruffled a few feathers. However, I believe that there were some very cool designs that came out of the Sigma 6 era.
For one thing, the DTC HISS is, IMHO, probably the best rendition of Cobra's iconic tank since version 2. The Sigma 6 version was scaled to fit the 2.5'' figures. It included the driver (who was referred to as Cobra Trooper in the cartoon). Since, these toys exist only in 2.5'' scale, I decided to make my own. I still have a few touch-ups, details and stickers to add. I still have to paint those fuel tanks on the side and I'm still convinced that I can find a better helmet for the trooper, but I'm pretty happy with the way these turned out. As always, feel free to comment. :-) OB

Wow! Really cool!
Looks like you are only missing the flag? Maybe nab one off of a Cobra Stun? Real nice work! |

Love. Love. Love the Cobra Trooper. I love when the obscure characters in the mythos get the custom love.

Thanks guys!
Python_Puckman, that's a great idea about the flag. I might also take a little creative liberty and attach the banner that came with PoC CC. I'll see which one fits better. I'm glad you guys like them, I wasn't sure about the trooper OB

I like it too and I did enjoy aspects about Sigma 6. I genuinly believe that had the toys been done in the 3 3/4 scale, the line would have been more successful.
