Fantastic job on all of these! I may have to copy a few.

Guess the Laundry-Viper didn’t use Cheer Color Guard when washing the Commander’s hoods.😂
You’re Cobra sigil on his belt buckle is off center.

Thanks, much appreciated

Thanks, please copy away. Quote:
I have to say that decal was very difficult to put on, it is so small it was hard to manoeuvre over the uneven surface of the buckle. I think I was so pleased with having a Cobra decal that was the same size as the circle on the buckle that I persevered with it when a simpler solution may have been better. I know it wasn't perfect when I settled that it was about as good as I was going to get it, but I think it might also have slipped a bit when I was applying the decal fixer. |

Cobra Commander looks great! Really like the gold accents around the cuffs and wow, way to work a cobra logo on the belt! That is a tiny area to operate so great job with the dedication! I usually just drop some paint there to give it color but love how it looks with the emblem, didn’t even realize someone made versions of it that small.
Hood looks good with the different shade, mine unintentionally came out that way but then my buddy thought it was intentional because his hood didn’t match in the cartoon so I ended up leaving it. Gives it a different look from the official figures since I think most of them match the colors. Bulgakov is awesome! I did three Cobras on the new navy bodies but hadn’t thought about him when I was brainstorming ideas. I was trying to think of guys for that head on the German body though so well done thinking up someone who worked! Really like how you accessorized him and the gold accent on the hat makes it pop so well! I like your build for Law, haven’t seen that one yet so gives him a different look while also looking lightyears better than the Club v1. Another great use for the red t shirt torso! Love the final shot of him and Order! Still laugh during the bomb hunt scene in the movie, one of my favorite parts.

Law and Order looks really good. I'm embarrassed to say how much I paid for the club figure and he really isn't that great.

Love the final shot of him and Order! Still laugh during the bomb hunt scene in the movie, one of my favorite parts. I have wanted Bulgakov for a while so he was one of the first figures I thought of when I saw that blue German body. I painted the gold band on the hat first (it doesn't matter if you go over the lines slightly). I then painted the blue top and black bill, they are both straight lines and darker colours than the gold band so it is fairly easy to make them look neat. I did want to go for a different look for Law. I have not seen the movie so afraid I don't know the scene, but as a dog lover I felt it was a natural pose for a side by side shot. Thanks, I didn't get many of the Club's figures (they were harder to get and more expensive over here), and in my opinion many of them were not worth the cost. |

Cool, I’ll have to check out their emblems, I have ones from ToyHax which work great but they don’t have any that small (unless I’m missing them on the site).
I love the movie, but I’m into all of the goofier parts of a Joe which is what the movie gets tagged for by some Joe fans. It’s what started my love for quite a few characters, Law & Order being two of them. Worth checking out if you ever have time.

When I saw the white German Panzer Grenadier I immediately thought about updating Snow Job, but Hit & Run beat me to it! So nothing that hasn't been seen before but to keep all my customs in one place this is my new Snow Job.
I like the backpack and skis that came with the POC/50th Snow Job and usually use it for my Arctic guys but the 25th backpack is iconic to the original so I decided to use that. |

Another character that I have shown earlier in this thread, but I thought the tan German body would work for a new Red Star.
The original figure didn't have camo on the legs, although the picture on the card did so I had a decision on which I did, I decided to match the figure. |
