These two figures were done by my children, Adam and Kate, who are both staunch supporters of Cobra. Although both of them have sat in my workshop slathering paint onto toys before, this is the first time that they each found a specific character or concept that they wanted to create.
Kate has been envious of my Zarana figure ever since I finished it, so she decided to make her own. All of the painting was hers. The only assistance I provided was the undoing of legs screws so that the lower legs could be swapped with those from a RoC Attack on the Pit Baroness. I also applied the Dull-Cote because she is a little young for spray cans.
Adam didn't have such a specific plan, so he sat down with some of my old G.I. Joe Order of Battle comics and tried to fins something he liked. He ended up choosing the entry for Copperhead, which used colors a bit off from the original figure of the 80's. Adam selected the colors and they match the picture almost perfectly. Again, I helped with the Dull-Cote.
I guess they have the customizing gene!
