When the Vipers were still on pegs around here, I picked up a few extras to repaint as a Cobra Infantry Team. I've been wanting to do these customs for a while now, but never seemed to find the time. Thank goodness for Holiday vacations.

These were easy to do, but have a surprising number of paint apps and I found myself going back and adding a little detail here and a paint touch-up there. Anyway, enough rambling, here is my take on the Cobra Infantry Team from 1998. (For reference, the first pic is from YoJoe)

Let me know what you think,

OB

Nice work indeed. Your paint apps always look production quality.

Very nice, tight paint apps!

One question though: what line is that binocular accessory from? I do not ever recall seeing it before.

Thanks guys. If I can pick up some cheap Vipers, I might make a few more troopers.

Spectre, the binoculars came in a mixed lot of accessories I picked up a while back. I'm not sure where they are from. I like them, they feel hi-tech (at least compared to most Joe or PTE binoculars I've seen).
