Kobra weaselish pilot conversion

After seeing someone else's idea the base figure for this conversion painted as the speech-impaired Kobra pilot, I was inspired to do the same, with a few additional greenstuff augmentations. I think it came out quite well. The original figure and head are from my privately commissioned range, so I may throw this one in a mould to have some extra copies.


The conversion was also inspired by this custom action figure I saw on the web:

Kobra infiltrators in the police force

The "Freds" have infiltrated all layers of society, including the police forces. Using generic last names like "White" or "Smith" and serving in different units, you would never know there are so many of them, while allowing them to trade places or provide alibi's without being caught.

A few gaps still to fill properly and tidy up. All models from West Wind's Roadkill range, with Fred heads. The police caps on the two models in the middle were taken from the original heads of the figures and added to the Fred heads.


It's not just the grunts though. This Fred is posing as a wary "I've seen it all" police detective in civilian clothing. He can use his position to lead unsuspecting real police officers into a battle against the good guys when they show up in town. Donor body for this one was a Heresy Miniatures figure.

More converted Agents of Kobra

A small update to the Kobra base commander from before, with (hopefully) an improved collar:


The next conversion is an exception to the general rule of only focusing on '80s subject, as it's inspired by a more recent addition to the universe of Gee Aye Jo. It happened because I came upon the donor mini (an Urban War Viridian officer) and noticed the suitability to a character I only knew vaguely from the internet. It's not a 100% match, but as I have no nostalgic link to this character, it's close enough.

Kobra conversions - Part 1

Some conversions to join the ranks of the terrorist organisation. First one is a base commander, converted from a Hasslefree Miniatures Colonel Sinclair. The collar needs a bit more work.


The next ones are a set of twins, posing as legitimate businessmen in suits, but secretly part of Kobra's inner circle. The figures are based on two Hasslefree Miniatures secret agents.


Finally, two conversions representing undercover Kobra elite guards. They all had facial surgery to look alike and go by the name of Fred. The one on the left is based on a Studio Miniatures figure that originally looked like a certain Beverly Hills Cop. The jacket makes a nice throwback to 80's era highschool football team jackets. The other one is another Hasslefree figure. The heads are a generic male head I had commissioned and cast.
