There will be 2 parts to Cobra a commander. His 1983 classic and his armored version.
Cobra commander. Unlike Destro, he is The man who stands behind his soldiers. I thought about this one. I wanted to pick the most complex version of Cobra Commander. V3 was it. Reading his 1987 file card, this suit was beyond awesome and created by none other than Destro and MARS himself. With that said, I wanted to capture not only his clean armored suit, but also represent the man who founded cobra . Blending an emotional , narcissistic, psychotic and in my Joe Lore, brutal founder/leader, I wanted to embody the commander unlike it has been done before. He?s a leader but weak. So augmented MARS technology gives him and demand the fear he chases his high for. All custom built, hand painted , and detailed , Here is Armored Cobra Commander New Era: Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr

This "heavily" Armored CC looks fantastic bro. He's a tank and a beast at the same time. You've done an amazing job with the armor added, building just the right proportions for the specific character yet maintaining the expanded armor as you should.
Paint apps are spot on as usual, a constant element in all your work as you never seem to go overboard with the accent paint, red in this case. Absolutely beautiful metal grey throughout and of course the iconic blue; best blue tone for CC IMO. Now you have me excited for the classic version which I hope is coming soon! |

Between the prep, build, brain storms, paint, detailing, fine detailing, it?s extremely time consuming, As you know some take a lot longer than others and I would never sacrifice quality for medicore atta boys. Gotta take the time and do it right. That?s your work at the end of the day. Quote:

Brilliant all on its own. He might give your Classified Spirit a heck of a fight in the intensity department. It's morbid to say, but, the only thing that would've improved this figure in my mind is if he had blood on his boots from the soles upward. Not a critique, but the first thing that came to mind in my mental Joeverse.
