Here it is, my first playset custom.
Cobra Bunker originally was a nice little thing, but a bit too small for my taste. I wanted to enlarge it somewhat so I added two extra walls, placed upside down and glued them to the bunker. I have this spraying paint with a "stone look" effect. Perfect for making something to look like concrete, so very suitable for a bunker. Once all walls + roof were primed, I sprayed the outsides with this stone spray, except for the Cobra logo. I wanted that to look more striking, so I taped it and painted it. Came out just the way I wanted. The ground on the outside was first painted black and then drybrushed with gray and white to make it look more rocky and add more depth. The inner floor was also painted black first and then drybrushed with silver. For extra firepower, I added another set of those machine guns, but these have a camera attached that constantly detect the environment and automatically fire at any living thing larger than a dog. I left out the missile, because I don't think it works: pretty unprotected next to the bunker, some well aimed shots would take the launching standard down. I also left out the decals as this bunker satisfies me enough already, to be honest. I took pics of the bunker with both white and black background, but I think it looks better with a black one. Let me know what you think of it! Tim 121RVC |

Damn... Just perfect man! You should think about adding just a tiny bit of scrub brush in front of the bunker. Like the kind of thing you'd find at a model railroad shop.

He used the original bunker, with two extra walls inverted....
The above idea of adding foliage is right on, you may also want to wash/dry brush the exterior with a brown or tan, to weather it a little. It looks like countertop material from lowes right now...like it's a little too clean, ya know? |

Fleck-it spray paint? Looks cool as hell like this, never did like the missile/rocket launcher from the OG version either, just doesn't fit in.
