Thanks guys!  I appreciate it! 

I've got cobra mortal and a white mortal in the works, who knows when I'll get them done.  Sometimes something that seems simple ends up taking a long time.

Venezuela, Argentina, and Brazil in one post!  Chrome White Mortal and Cobra Mortal with Athena!

First up is a character from Venezuela, White Mortal!  I know some of these characters are not as widely known, so I included some information on their 80's counterparts.

Next up, from the Brazilian Commandos in Action, Athena!

Athena and Glenda!


With Scarett!




Next up is Cobra Mortal!  This is actually my second version of this character from Argentina, and I'm still not happy with it.  I'm thinking I would have liked it better if I had used the same upper legs as I did on the White Mortal, but then I would have needed two more parts chromed...


Comparison and info:

The bad guys!


With Cobra Invasor!

I hear you man, I was planning to, but then thought maybe I'd get the one the club is supposed to be doing.  I'd like an action force green colored ram too.  Of course, I'd like dolphin, gaucho, jammer, and hunter too.

Cool to see the Cobra Mortal done. I had thought about doing that myself before. Timbit given.  ;)

Thanks!  I dig the chrome.  Still not happy with the Cobra Mortal though, just hadn't gotten the legs right yet.  Oh well.

What paint are you using? The paint looks thick and like it would crack if the joints are bent plus I can see areas where the original plastic is showing through.

I'd suggest doing a quick pass with spray on primer first next time (white or grey) and then painting. That way you don't have to go as heavy with the paint.

Too bad they never made a pure white Snake Eyes. Then you could just rit dye the thing and not have to worry about painting.

I use model master acryl, yeah I didn't go through the trouble on these of dremmeling down the joints and reducing joint rub.

I have some Model Master in my drawer but I primarily use citadel acrylic paints. I used Model Master on that Rock Viper figure I posted in my customs. They had the best match for the brown on his helmet.

Did you guys know a Night Viper drives an old Chevy?  Had this Night Viper done for a long time, maybe a year or more, hadn't posted it yet.  I actually didn't own the vintage version until more recently, so now that I have them in hand, I can see some inaccuracies.  This guy took some work though:
-Removeable helmet, night scope, and pack from Raginspoon
-Custom rifle kitbash
-Removeable web gear with removeable knife
-Added leg pegs for the rifle
-Removeable knife in boot sheath
-shoulder pads
-bullet arm band
-arm patch
-green cobra logo (modified cobra stickers)

Check him out!




















Recipe:
Head-Beach head type
Helmet/Night Scope-Raginspoon
Torso-Beach head type
Arms and hands-Beach head type
Web Gear-Matt Trakker modded, with Mutt vest shoulder pads
Knife Holster-greenstuff
Armband-star wars bullets and Matt Trakker strap
Upper Legs-Copperhead with added leg pegs
Lower Legs and Feet-SRO Deep Six
Leg Knife/Holster-Zartan
Weapon-2 parts Gung Ho, 2 parts Pit Commando, 1 part Star Wars (I think), and strap

And Black Ops Duke!  This one started out to be a DDP Black Ops version but then I realized he didn't wear the skull cap in the DDP, but I liked the idea so much I went with it anyway.






Recipe:
Head-Raginspoon
Web Gear-ROC Snake Eyes
Rest-25th Snake Eyes
Weapon-Pit Commando

It's the easy ones that are the fun ones!

I really like the night viper. Where did you say you got that head from? Raginspoon? Who is that and does he still have more?

Thanks Morg, here's the link: http://www.raginspoon.com/

Great, high quality stuff from this guy, he actually learned from Aly (the Brokenarrow guy) and uses the same quality materials.  He's really got a lot of good stuff up for sell.  The Duke head was from him and I've also gotten another couple items from him.  The helmet came already dremmeled out, very nice.
